My New Forester Love Affair ....

I've only driven about 100 miles in this vehicle, but I LOVE it! I had a top-of-the-line Cadillac, all the bells and whistles, and really thought nothing else would be able to satisfy me - then, I broke my back and had to find an SUV body style I could easily get in and out of. Long story short, I ended up with Subaru and couldn't be happier. The ride is smooth and pretty quiet, lots of features, great navigation, good stereo, excellent visibility, attractive interior touches, comfortable seats .. I could go on! I can't believe how great the gas mileage is! I got the Touring model, and it offers tons of features for a more reasonable price than most other brands. The steering wheel controls and dash controls are laid out intuitively. Seat heater and heated steering wheel heat up just the right amount - not too hot, but not anemic. Once I stepped into my new Subaru Forester and began driving, I had not one ounce of regret leaving my Cadillac behind! Great car for the money.

I feel the safest I ever felt.

I love my car. I did a lot of research after I had this car as a rental. I previously owned an Impreza that had a recall and I felt in luxury driving the Forester. I then realized I gotta have it!

Best car we have ever had out of 36 new ones .

Excellent layout of interior. Has all the top safety features! Very comfortable on trips. We feel very secure & safe in this vehicle. The AWD has 3 modes to dial in your road needs. 9 speaker audio is super! Came with Weather tec type floor mats including rear area cargo . Subaru left nothing out!

Just purchased today!

Purchased my second Subaru today. Our first one hooked us as Subaru owners. Great looking, comfortable, and safety features, galore! If you haven't driven a Subaru, test drive one. There's a definite difference from our previous vehicles.

Great car for a great price!

This car exceeded my needs. All kinds of great features I wasn't expecting; i.e., backup camera, in-lane navigation, heated steering wheel, trunk lid height adjustment, gps, and on and on!

First Subie

I have owned over 100 vehicles. I was hesitant to purchase a Subaru. However, the ground clearance, symmetrical AWD, and gas mileage are hard to beat without buying a hybrid. I like the comfort, safety features, all weather capability. The gas mileage is not as good as advertised but I drive hard.

Happy with all the safety features and comfort

This car is awesome! Comfortable,stylish and safe. Love the look and safety features. Will miss the heated seats,however, as the model we purchased did not have them.
