2020 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

Beautiful and comfortable. I like it because I have lower back issues and the seats provide good lumbar support and there's lots of leg room.

Weird locations of some controls. Console lid interferes with elbow while steering. Engine noise excessive, gas mileage and acceleration substandard. Rough ride. Some electronic features are confusing. But it gets us around and has adequate load space. For just driving, I prefer my American economy sedan -- 200 pounds heavier but much better acceleration and gas mileage.

I had to absolutely battle with the sales representative to get a fair price for my trade in. I was walking out of the dealership in frustration when they made a low but reasonable offer and I accepted. The first offer was completely insulting, Kelley Blue Book sets the standard not me. I ordered a 2020 Forrester Touring which is their top of the line model. It is supposed to have all of the options, but it came with a 1970's era rearview mirror. You have to flip the lever to dim it. No garage door opener, no compass. I had one of these in my 1974 Ford Pinto, no joke. They put the cheapest mirror available on the most expensive model without even offering it as an upgrade? Seriously???? I have bought my last 2 cars here and both times it was a terrible experience. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Take my advice and go somewhere else to buy a new Subaru, this dealership will try and nickel and dime you any way they can. I ordered the top of the line model with every option and they slipped in a bottom of the line mirror to save themselves a few dollars and cost me a day back at the dealership to get a decent mirror installed. I will go back and buy the decent mirror for $350 on a day where I would be rather be doing something else. It’s not the $350. It’s a very good car with the cheapest mirror you could possibly install. It is about the character of the dealership. I hope this helps make your decision.

I test drove and compared several SUV's and the Subaru Forester was my choice. I needed the lumbar support for medical issues and they have the trim that exceeds my needs. It includes safety with StarPlus and Subaru standards that I found lower my insurance rates. I am a first time Subaru buyer, but from the no hassle buyer experience to the service department along with a clean good look, good pick up, smooth ride, plenty of space for driver passenger and carrying supplies, this Subaru has been my best choice.

Love the style and the ease in which it handles the road It also has a large trunk when seats are down. Fits lots of storage

I love it. With all of it’s special features, it made driving in heavy traffic, in a strange place, at night not so scary. It practically drives itself, and makes sure I’m alert, with my hands on the wheel!

Car meet allemy needs this forrester is a great looking and beautiful great on gas can’t wait to take a road trip with my car

The safety features and quiet ride are amazing. In the past I never researched a car as thoroughly as I did this car. I had always been a fan of Honda and Hyundai. However, because of poor customer service, after being a loyal customer for more than 3 decades, I started searching for a new car. I wish I had considered a Subaru sooner. I took it on a road trip recently and loved it. I drive a thousand miles on 2 tanks of gas. I can’t say enough good things about this car. I’m encouraging my entire family and friends to buy a Subaru.

It is a Scoober- what more is there to say. economical, practical and great gas mileage. this is the 3rd one we have owned. Just practical Subaru performance

I am on my 4th Forester. I owned my first one in its 1st model year. I have always found they provide a sense of safety and security and are easy to drive. This is my first Forester above the base model. I have noticed a significant increase in pick up and acceleration. A very smooth ride and much more interior room in the driver seat. I still have to become more familiar with the the many additional features. Due to CoVid, I haven’t been driving on a daily basis like I would otherwise. I cant say that I’ve had any major problems or complaints from a reliability perspective with any of my Foresters. I hope that will continue to hold true. Another reason for being a repeat Subaru owner/customer is the excellent dealership. I have been going there for nearly 20 years for all my routine servicing needs and purchase of my new Subarus. The Service and Sales department are very friendly and accommodating. They are good at what they do. I have never had any second thoughts or considered purchasing any other vehicle. I am pleased with my decision to purchase another Forester.
