it is the most reliable car I’ve owned.

My 2.5l Limited has all the bells and whistles. It has plenty of leg room. The interior design has easy access. The Harmon radio sounds clear. The back seats lowering provide plenty of space if you are moving ( like across the country) or otherwise hauling some things. I was concerned that both CV joints in the front had to be replaced at 90k miles. I reported it to Subaru Corp and they gave me $500 towards the replacement. I’ve had both rear bearings replaced. I have used my car as a travel vehicle and it currently has 176k miles. I think I’ve done well servicing it. I am hoping it will last another 176k miles.

Nothing but trouble. I hate that I bought this.

it guzzles oil like it has a drinking problem, the battery leaks like the wounds of my heart after I bought this car. As we speak it is broken again at Subaru.

Best in its Class!

I've been driving my 2015 Subaru Forester (2L, 6-speed manual) for 5 years, and every single trip has been a pleasure. The car is economical, powerful, and smooth to control. The advanced driver assist system has prevented me from skidding on more than one occasion. The car is relatively low-maintenance, and Subaru's excellent service system keeps the car in tip-top shape. It's always ready to haul a trailer, carry a trunkful of boxes, or just take me across town. I also hope Subaru continues to offer a manual version of the Forester. I admit my partiality toward manual transmissions, but with everybody talking about self-driving vehicles these days, I think there is definitely room in the market for recreational cars. And the Forester is certainly one of them!

Best car for the value no doubt

This vehicle has it all except 2 things, navigation and a decent interface with the counsel. Love the visibility all around and out the windshield, I'm 6' 1" and have issues with rear view mirrors, not in this.

Used 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5I

I purchased this car about a week ago. Good ride, like the seats, like the size for I'm 5'0 and petite so it makes me feel I got a big car lol. Um, I am worries about the CVT since I owned a Nissan Sentra 2012 before this and the Tranny was going out which is why got a new car but I hope the Subi doesn't fo what the Sentra did to me tho. I hope this car lasts forever. I'll update if I have any problems.

It is very relaible

It is very practical, plenty of room, gets 30mpg in highway at 75mph in local roads at 60 mph gets 35mpg! Not bad for an all wheel drive. Has less room for items than my 2007 Forester, and lack a center armrest for the back seat.
