2017 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

This was a nice space upgrade from my Subaru Legacy. We are traveling more, needed room for the dog, but didn't want to sacrifice the safety and reliability of Subaru! The Forester handles great and is a nice addition to the family!

I had a 2014 camry which I was very happy with. The carmy was the bare minimum of a decent car, it was smooth, reliable and didnt cost much to maintain. But my wife and I wanted something a little bigger with similar Mpg and is able to handle any weather condition. After researching for months on the Forester, and several trips to the dealership, we took a 2018 Limited with all weather package and eyesight home. What I can compare noticeably with the camry is that, the Forester is a lot smoother, more quiet, more power, way more safety features, amazing visibility and overall a very good price considering its an AWD with Xmode and it can literally handle any weather condition (just knowing that was worth the price for us) What I felt was lacking for my model is the standard door lock system, automatic headlight and clearer backup camera. Those were the things my camry had which I missed. Its not a deal breaker but something this simple should had been incorporated in the forester.

My Subaru Forester is a Auto that gives me a very secure feeling when I drive it. The Eyesight package is wonderful. The comfort of the seats, the clear view from the windows, the back up camera, the lighting provided after the auto is turned off at night time allows me a added feeling of safety. The additional help provided by the dealership has been great. For example. They offer a class to go over every detail of the car. I tested several other autos before my purchase and have not been disappointed in my choice.

I have really enjoyed my Subaru Forester. It has a nice balance between looks and practicality. No it's not "sleek" or "sporty" but it does look nice, easily comparable to a Rav4 or Honda CRV. I have a big dog, we do a lot of hiking/camping, and we haul our bikes around frequently. The Forester does it all, all with 4-wheel drive, and at a relatively good MPG. I have the Touring trim, so leather interior, heated steering wheel and seats, great sound system, navigation, and most importantly Eyesight, which is a forward collision and lane departure assist feature. LOVE IT!

This was my first experience with a Suburu. I checked several area dealers on Memorial Day Weekend for a Subaru Forester as well as some other brands. I came back to World Subaru because they had the best deal as well as an excellent record for service. No sales pressure. Travis is a new salesperson and did an excellent job along with Shane, the Sales Manager. I even left a phone message for Shane with some questions and he was able to return the call. It was a very pleasant experience. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Nicole, the Delivery Specialist, explained all the features in the vehicle. Awesome job by all. Thank you.

I thought it was too small for my needs and I didn't like how narrow it was. The inside wasn't designed with what I was use to. I am not saying this is not a great vehicle. It just was not what I was looking for. I would suggest it to someone wanting an SUV style vehicle.

I wanted to test drive this car because I am a big on the outdoors. The vehicle has plenty of room and a HUGE moonroof. The AC didn't seem as great as other vehicles I test drove. I really loved the windshield as it was mostly windshield so there wasn't any blind spots. Interior design, it's a pretty basic car, but it does have options you can add on. Overall, I would recommend this for family use or outdoor lovers. The prices are great, too! They currently advertise 0% interest for 2018 models. Can't beat that!

Easy entry, many safety features, best visibility of any SUV I have driven, incredible acceleration with the 4 cyl. turbo engine, not the most stylish but far from ugly.

We have not had this car very long so cannot speak to reliability. We were very disappointed to discover this car does not have automatic locks or unlocking. If we had known, it is doubtful we would have purchased the car. That has been a big disappointment. But we do like the way the car drives, the excellent visibility and the large moonroof.

I upgraded from an Imprezza to a Forester in February! Since I got the basic model, I look forward to upgrading with my next lease! Without going through everything, I have no complaints except the bluetooth! Works horribly! Hoping on an upgraded model it will be more functional.
