Love my new Forester.

I was in the market for a medium size SUV and the Forester met all my needs. Still learning all the technology that comes with the vehicle. Looking forward to many years of carefree driving.

A compromise that settles on not one thing

If you are contemplating this vehicle, ensure your test drive spans more than just twenty minutes and a ride along the side roads of the dealership. I appreciate the noise suppression built into the new Forester along with the new build on the global architecture that Subaru is using, but the rubbery CVT is still quite apparent. If you have any type of body ache, soreness, joint pain or other physical situation that comes with life, this vehicle will find a way to exacerbate that pain. Seating is way too uncomfortable after driving for any length of time. I regret the purchase; looking to trade this vehicle as soon as I can.

Safest car out there

The safety features and reliability is what made me look in to this vehicle. Living in the northeast I wanted a safe, good in bad weather and roomy car.

I love driving it!

I love it! I love the way it drives, very responsive. It hugs the road, corners well, and the turning radius is good. it feels substantial. The safety features are well thought out and they work. It is beautiful inside and out. It is the prefect size. Wish list: higher quality leather interior and 360 camera.

Beautiful car!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car! Went to look at it on a recommendation from a friend on the cars great ability in the snow. It more than surpassed my expectations ! I had built it on line so I knew exactly what I was looking for: model, color, extras, etc.. The Forester Sport is amazing. The value for your money, the quality and service are the best I?ve experienced.
