2016 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

Less than a month, but over 1000 miles. Absolutely no issue. Excellent handling, sturdy and well-round feeling. If I would have to complain about something, only one thing comes to mind: couldn't (yet) change the outside temperature indication from F to C degrees (still trying to make this happen...)

This is my first subaru and I am thoroughly pleased. I made the right choice. Smooth ride and ready for the winter.

If you live up north or down south where we receive copious amounts of rain at times this forester is a must have with its independant all wheel drive. 5 star safety ratings, this is our 2nd subaru with more planned for the future, great resale value!

We had done considerable research on the Subaru Forester, comparing it to other brand similar models, so we pretty much knew what we wanted before we went to a dealer. And we knew the approximate price to expect, so there was not shock in the negotiation. The car itself is phenomenal. The visibility from inside is remarkable. We got the all-weather and the eye site packages and are very impressed. We've had the car for over a week now. It has much more ooomph than our previous Jeeps. And I really like the smoothness as it goes from gear to gear---you cannot tell it at all. We would most highly recommend the Subaru Forrester. We prefer the PREMIUM version.

My 2016 Subaru Forester is at it's best in bad weather. It always starts, even in subzero temperatures and easily handles ice, snow, slush and mud. The sportier, updated exterior design is a really nice change. This car also has a well planned interior, every bit of space is able to be used. The seats are really comfortable with great lumbar support, important since I am in and out of the car all day. The reliable and extremely capable Forester checks every box for me.

This is my third forester love this car especially in winter driving in the lake effect snow area in northern New York

peppy engin except on hills, speedometer is sub par, hard to read, should have been a digital like other Subaru models. I was also surprised by how little storage there is. Mileage, looks and comfort are great.

Forester has a much rougher ride than the Honda. When starting on a "cold start" the high torque engine vibrates under the driver seat for a minute or two, until the motor settles down, which, I am told that this is normal.
