2017 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

I have owned my 2017 Forester since late 2016. Except for normal maintenance I've had no problems with thr vehicle. All of the warning systems work very well,they have saved me from accidents numerous times. The automatic seat repositioning when some one else has used my is really handy eliminates all the adjusting needed to get the position back to my needs. Traction and controll during winter and bad weather are excellent. My forrester get used like a truck at times. Great overall car.

Had this car for seven years, never any problems, very low mileage. Very nice to drive, smooth gas mileage around 30 mpg. Traded it in for a new forester, I actually was ready to cry, when I left it. Very reliable.

Bought new and have had electrical issues from day one. Subaru and the local dealership have been worthless in trying to resolve the issues. Next car will not be a Subaru.

Motor replaced 18 month after purchase, AC compressor recall done in July, now evaporator has a leak. They quoted me $1400. Car still hesitates at 22mph, 62mph since bought car. Have only 42,000 mile on the car.

The Subaru Forester is indeed one of the safest cars on the road. I was in an auto accident (not my fault) and all my air bags blew. Wow, what a site--air bags everywhere! Car was totalled--got hit in front drivers side--and my only injury, aside from bruises, was a broken ankle. Impressed. Aside from that, we have had several Subarus and they have always gotten us through. The all-wheel drive system can not be beat!

It is reliable and efficient. They are there day in day out, year after year. I car r is my children in then and now 2 our of 3 of my kids own a Subaru

The Forester is a spunky and safe SUV that has storage, room for the car seats for the grandkids, and a gorgeous moon roof. It gets great gas mileage and has enough pick up and speed to pass trucks on the highway when needed. I love the Forester!!!

These little cars are great. They are quick, easy to handle, spacious, economical, have a lot of cargo room and just plain fun to drive!

Best car I’ve ever owned. Bought for the safety features (later models and other brands have now surpassed the features that were only available on the Subaru). The seats are not the most comfortable for long drives. Especially the passenger seat which is manual. Bought it with only 5,000 miles on it - was told the first owner wanted a more comfortable car. I strongly recommend Subaru, but suggest buyers look at newer models and other brands if they want the more advanced safety features.

I have the Forester XT, its fast, its comfortable, its a beast in the snow. The visibility is unparalleled. It has more windows than my house. I literally only have a single complaint: The A/C is not cold at all. Thank god I live in Michigan and not in the south. I've had it blasting for an hour + in 80 degree weather and it does not cool down me in the drivers seat, let alone my toddler in the back seat. Its the reason we bought a larger car that had rear climate control. I hear this is a common Subaru issue. Otherwise, this car is incredible and holds its value.
