slick roads

as a poor snowy road driver, my forester gets me to work and back , and i feel very confident when driving in these conditions. my first winter with a subaru forester i had snow sitting on my hood after driving thru drifts, and we kept running.

2018 Bomb Cylone Snowstorm? Ha!

So we live in like the Bermuda Triangle of horrible winter weather, in a ?green? town that does not sand, barely salts, and barely plows. And It is ALL Hills.....Forester has done the Subaru 4 Wheel drive snow driving reputation proud! So grateful we got this car. For the smaller size that it is, we are very happy with this car! Definitely love the all-weather package.

Subaru

I just purchased new Subaru Forester. I love the forester....it's the third one I've purchased. They are reliable and are alwayson the cutting edge with new technology. I've owned many cars over the last 40 years.....Subaru is the only car I've purchased repeatedly.

The best car for the money

Meets all my needs,lots of light, easy on gas, lots of room,reliable, not too expensive.It is not loaded with too much electronic. It would be good to have a bit more modern communication gadgets.

Great Vehicle

My 2018 Subaru is an exceptional vehicle. It has great, stylish looks, is very comfortable, gets great gas mileage, and the AWD sure came in handy during the recent winter weather.
