Nice trade up

Traded up from a Crosstrek, which I loved, to the Forester because I needed more cargo room and room for passengers. It was hard to give up my Crosstrek, but I'm glad that I did. The Forester handles beautifully and provides all of the space that I need. I drove it 100 miles immediately out of the showroom and I really fell in love with it. It's a great value and I got a great trade in on my Crosstrek.

New car buying experience.

Good experience at dealer. I have a little bit of OCD but everyone was understanding. And I also insisted on a manual transmission, no one laughed at me because I insisted on a manual transmission even though I was purchasing a brand new car. I am not familiar with the reliability yet because I just purchased the vehicle.

Nicest car I've ever had

I've only had this car for a few days, but I love it. It is the 2.5i Touring model and the accident-prevention features are wonderful. All the electronics seem impressive and the drive is smooth and I am happy with the mileage and performance. It is comfortable and handles well. While I'm still getting used to some of the many features, I couldn't be happier.

Subaru Forester

Good auto with features that I wanted. Well priced and should last a long time. Bigger than most Subaru's and has the space I need.

Great car

Can't say enough about it - love the car - if I had to find a fault it would be limited storage space in front, and I wold like auto locking doors - but these are such small things. Couldn't consider ever buying anything else.

Love it.

Sweet ride, dogs love it. First Subaru and I believe it meets all of my needs. Good fuel efficiency, smart design elements, huge moonroof, strong engine and loud tunes.
