2020 Subaru Forester Sport

I have had the car for three weeks. So far everything is fine with the car. The only thing I would zonk is the approach lights cannot be turned off when the doors or hatch are open.

My Second Forester

Was rear ended by uninsured driver. My previous Forester was 17 yrs old and in excellent running condition. Planned to keep until... unfortunately, due to accident, and cost of repair, insurance company said NO to payment. Needed new vehicle. Subaru of course. Chose 2020, base model. Love it. Lots of electronics, I will likely never learn, but feel confident in ability to enjoy this car, as much as I loved my previous Forester.

Love my Subaru's

Great ride. Plenty of room and fits five people comfortably. Hoping that one day they will bring back the Baja. I have owned four Subaru's.

Bang for the buck

Many safety features are included which I find important. I did add the extra blind spot feature that I consider essential. I wish that had been included but I was glad it was available.

3 rd Forester

I will never own another car other than a Subaru! The Forester especially has amazing visibility, clean lines and is very easy to use. Thank you Subaru

Subaru Forester Sport

Subaru Forester Sport is a roomy SUV. Plenty of power for anyone with great gas mileage. It has a bit of a sportier look with the orange detailing and all black wheels. Now comes the test of time. Hopefully it does as well for years to come as other Forester owners that I have talked to have stated.

Great Value

I spent several months researching SUV’s for my new vehicle purchase and the Forester emerged as the one that overall, checked of most of my boxes. Prior to the test-drive, I had read reviews complaining about lethargic performance but that was not my experience as all. I subsequently bought a 2020 Forester Limited. I needed a vehicle that will perform well on dirt as well as in snow. I'm writing this review to assure potential Forester buyers that in my experience the vehicle has plenty of power to do what its actually designed to do.

Safest feeling I've ever had driving a car.

I absolutely love my 2020 Forester Touring. It's my first SUV. I love the feeling of safety driving in this solid feeling vehicle. It has everything I could ever dream of. I especially love that it has a CD player.

Most smooth driving car I have been in.

I love the color, the roomy interior and the drive. It has a lot of extras that are going to be fun to use. The style is awesome
