NEW TO THE SUBARU FAMILY

I LOVE THE FORESTER. FEELS LIKE A SUV WITH A BIT OF SASS. PLAN ON HITTING THE ROAD WITH A SMALL CAMPER IN TOW.

27 years of driving and this is my favorite vehicl

The Subaru name says it all. I drive for my job and this vehicle provides comfort, reliability, and style. The 2 tone interior is why I fell in love with the car. It is stylish and unique. A great car to call my office while on the road.

Best vehicle ever owned

I presently have three cars-BMW 5 series and BMW X5 both 2017 and our trusty Subaru Forester .I lease the two BMW?s and own the Subaru.If I could get out of my leases on the bmw?s I would and then go get two more Subaru?s.My wife and I fight over who is going to take the Subaru-Hats off to Subaru for it might be the best car I have owned in 45 years.

2nd Forester in the Family

The 2018 Forester is a good fit for us. It is our 2nd Forester. Our 2014 has been great. I researched many brands and models and the Forester was a great fit for quality, safety and price. The visibility is great. More open then many of the other SUVs.
