A car truly build for its driver

This car met all my needs, it handles well and is very roomy inside. I love the rear camera and the controls on the steering wheel. The cargo space is large and the back seats can fold down to give you even more space.

Visibility, comfort and ease of driving.

It's a great car. It is very comfortable and very easy to drive. I like the lines on the screen when I back up. My garage is hard to get out of but with the lines it makes it very easy.

Excellent Car

Needed an All Wheel Drive car before the winter months set in in Minnesota. Very happy with the standard safety features accompanied with the base model at such a low price for a brand new vehicle! Have only owned for a short period of time but already love the entertainment connectivity with hands free features.

my 11th Subaru

Only have been driving this for a couple of weeks but so far so good. Considering my previous experience with Subaru I don't expect it to change.

Safety features are outstanding.

I was pleasantly surprised test driving the Forester. It has a solid feel within the entire car while driving. Glad I purchased a subaru from jones in bel air.

The new 2020 Subaru Forester Limited

I looked at a lot of compact SUV's before selecting the Forester. I am quite tall and the only compact SUV with a moonroof that I could easily fit into with plenty of headroom and visibility was this one. Plus it had all the safety features I wanted plus a lot of nice things like the approach lights on the exterior mirrors. I have only had it for 2 days but so far it is running very nicely. If Subaru would offer the brown leather as an option on the Limited trim line, I would have paid extra for it. Unfortunately, Subaru only offers the brown leather on it's top of the line Touring trim level.
