Love my Forester

I just brought ith home today, but I love everything about it so far. It rides smooth, is easy to handle, and feels heavy and safe.

Our New Forester Subaru

Our primary reason for buying is safety. The many safety features plus the overall safety rating of the Forester attracted us to this particular vehicle.

Best car me and my wife have owned.

The car is fantastic. It meets everything we wanted in a car. Great gas mileage for a suv with all wheel drive. Also the lane keep assist and dynamic cruise control are awesome.

Great car!

Loved my 2018 silver Forester! I decided to get 2020 model for the upgrades like dual temperature controls land departure alert, powering down when stopped.

Forester Limited

I love olive color, the different safety features: lane departure warning, blind spot detection, slowing down car ahead too close, gas saver mode. Great ride!

Roomy SUV

Perfect so far... Option 14 was exactly what I was looking for in my new car. Similar cargo area to what I was used to having. More interior room and better dashboard than my last car... Test drove and purchased the same day.

I just got it a week ago. Ask me next year

I would only change a couple things inside such as the middle cup holder and I would add a place for a phone. I would also fill in for additional items the space between the from seats and the middle counsel.

Love my new Subaru Forester

This car is very comfortable and I am able to move the seat up so that I have great visibility when driving. It is a dream to drive and I love the way it looks.

Comfortable Ride

Interior controls on the 2020 Forester were very intuitive compared to the 2017. Also the larger glass windows gave a very open feeling allowing ease of seeing everything around you and no surprises because of the very few if any blind spots when driving but with the obstacle in blind spot alerts in your side mirrors no problems.
