Roomy, lots of useful features.

We love the style, comfort and color. It has a lot of "pickup" for a 4-cylinder vehicle. The interior is very roomy, front and back.

They just keep getting better

I loved my 2016, but I love my 2019 even more! It’s like a brand new car. Before I selected it, I thought I’d shop around. The Subaru Forester now has almost everything that the 2019 Mercedes Benz equivalent has, except, as always, Subaru has made it affordable and added just the right touches (no ridiculously crazy features that no one really needs).

Great car!

This car replaces my 2017 Forester. I liked my 2017, but I like this one even more! It has Driver Assist technology with adaptive cruise control and lane departure warnings. Not crazy about the gas-saving feature of engine shut-off at traffic lights, but I'll get used to it. Very roomy interior with lots of head and leg room in front and rear seats.

Love my Forester

The car drives very smoothly, it's very comfortable driving and riding around. The safety features are a blessing and have saved me from 2 accidents so far, one car stopping in front of me and one in my blind spot. Plenty of room for grandchildren in back. Very easy to put in a car seat.

My sixth Subaru since 2014 and so far the best

33 miles per gallon at 70 to 75 mph. Plenty of zip. Lots of living space and cargo space. Handles like a baby carriage. Love this car.

Nicest car I have owned

This car met all my needs and then some. Plenty of room for 5 of us. Safety features second to none. Very nice dealership, from beginning point with Brittney to Rob and Adam

No problems in first 6 months

Has exceeded my expectations in comfort, safety and fuel economy. I like the reclining rear seats. I would prefer different tires and cruise control separate from eyesight.
