Very reliable and comfortable.

Very satisfied with my Subaru Forester. Limited comes loaded with standard options. Ample cargo space. Infotainment system is easy to use. Screen is clear and larger than most. Wide angled view on back-up camera.

Our fourth Subaru and we’ve loved them all!

The Subaru Forester is an excellent car that looks great and handles even better. I love the new styling and the new standard options. With its great sight lines, excellent handling, and first rate safety features this car is the number one pick for my family.

This car has quality features.

Even the "base" model of the Forrester has a lot of "bells and whistles." We especially appreciate the guided diagram appearing on the rearward mounted camera.

Subaru For Sure

Appreciate Subaru Forester redesign from platform all the way up. Smooth, quiet, responsive, upscale interior, superior head room, more pep than my previous 2019 Crosstrek Limited. Great all around view typical of Subaru line. Quick screen response time, user friendly technology.

Long time Forester owner

This would be the third Forester we have owned and we love this car. The 2020 has very nice upgrades from the earlier models we have owned and are enjoying it thoroughly.

Loving my first Subaru!

This is my first Subaru and I am not disappointed. The safety features, and onboard tech are nothing short of amazing. The seats are comfortable and the car is just really enjoyable to drive. Having the USB ports in the back seats for the kids has been a luxury long overdue!! The engine power is fine for commuting or road trip use.

Wow! A great car!

I am 81 years old and have owned quite a number and quite a variety of cars, but had never bothered to look at Subarus. But I looked at one yesterday, and immediately fell in love with it. It has things built into it that I had never seen in other cars and that turned me on. In addition to that I was blessed with a pleasant and totally competent person at the dealership. This car had so many great assets that none of my previous cars had....so I did not leave the dealership until I OWNED that car, the Subaru Forester.

I traded my 2009 forester for brand new one!

I didn’t test drive it because I already owned a forester and I knew this new one would be and is the best fit for me! I love it.
