2017 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

Comfortable and easy to drive. Controls are easy to reach and use. Lots of room for storage and hauling. Heated seats are great for winter.

Great car nice look to it. Love the safety features on the car. Car dealership was great. The salesman was very efficient and helpful. Would go back to that dealer again

After being very pleased with my past three Suburu's I traded and got my forth car. Overall performance has been outstanding, service speedy and efficient. My Forrester serves as my upscale truck and carry horse and cattle feed along with saddles, blankets and a dog.

This Subaru Forester 2.5i Limited was better than anything we could have asked for. The ride is as smooth as an Audi Q5, but it costs $30,000 less. It's absolutely incredible. The ride, the comfort of the leather seats, the enourmous sunroof, the lack of blind spots, and blind spot detection are only a few of the great features that come standard on the 2017 Forester Limited model. Highly recommend that you get the Harmon Kardon stereo option for the vehicle as well.

This is our 6th Subaru, so far the best we ever had, it's XT Touring so it's powerful, perfect handling thanks to active torque vectoring , beautiful brown interior, safe thanks to eyesight works really great, reliable cause it's made in Japan, turbo really kicks fast even though not that fuel efficient as our 2015 XV Crosstrek still so much fun to drive, that we don't really care about fuel efficiency, defiantly recommend to buy, you won't regret .

Great looking,spacious,quiet to drive, responsive and great MPG! The Forester sells itself! I like the sporty yet comfy and safe. This is my second Forester and the car gets better and better.

Love my Subaru and can now understand why everyone that owns onne loves it! I will keep this one for a long time!

This is my first purchase of a Subaru and this car met my needs and expectations. I wanted something in this Size range, Seating for 5, Engine capability, Navigation, Bluetooth, Great safety Record and in my price range. The car has it all. Loving how it drives and it feels good to me! Try it!

Coming from a 2007 AWD Ford 500. This time I wanted better gas mileage, reliability, and the size of a small SUV. Final decision came down to Subaru Forester or Ford Escape. Went with Subaru because of better gas mileage, reliability, safety ratings, and better resale value (not that we are planning to sell it or trade it in anytime soon). I also need an AWD vehicle and I loved the CVT transmission in my Ford 500, and Subaru offers both. I am thrilled with 27 to 30 mpg overall. It handles great and I gives me fantastic visibility (I am 5' 0"). My husband is 5'9", 230 lbs - he says it is just oK for comfort. He felt much more comfortable in the Outback but that was too expensive if I wanted the moonroof pkg. Not in love with the Venetian Red Pearl however - not crazy about the shade of red and looks dirty all the time. But my husband wanted red - he got red and I got the moonroof! And Subaru should definitely offer the black cloth interior in more colors than just black or silver - the Platinum Gray is very pretty but just TOO LIGHT especially with grandchildren riding in the car all the time. Also don't care for the cargo net at the back of the cargo area - always in the way of loading/unloading. The one on the back of the seat seems much more practical. Still trying to figure out all the electronics and safety features. I have the Encore appt (I think this is a great idea) scheduled in a couple weeks - will get the rest of my questions answered then. Overall, we are very satisfied with the Forester as far as the really important stuff goes.

I bought this car to replace my VW Golf TDI Diesal that was recalled. I was looking for a practical car that would perform well in snow, have plenty of storage for road trips, decent gas mileage and ample safety features. After some researching, it was clear that the Forester out-performed it's competitors in snowy weather. The cabin is very spacious and it has a ton of safety features. It rides well and, in the three weeks I've owned it, is averaging 26 mpg around the city, though I have gotten a high as 35 mpg on a 10-mile freeway trip. Additionally, the service I received at Nate Wade Subaru was extraordinary and an example of how a car buying experience should be.
