The safest car that I ever drove

We purchased a 2019 for my wife, I liked driving it so much I could not wait for my lease to be up on my car. Love everything about it. This is a car that you get the most for your money. Safety and comfort with great features.

Was very comfortable and more old school(good)

I have been driving Volvos since1993. Subaru has filled the old Volvo nitch. Had Volvo not made me such a great offer, I would have bought the Forester.

Comfortable style with great fuel economy

I test drove several vehicles. I bought my car because it met my three requirements: loved the color, it has leather interior and the interior wasn’t black. It has great safety features, comfortable ride. Very happ with my decision.

As advertised

I can't find anything wrong with this car, the Touring model. Technology advancements make this a VERY SAFE motor vehicle! It is well worth the investment.

Brand new car

This car has significant upgrades since the last time I drove one. It is comfortable with plenty of leg room, there is great visibility through large windows and the drive is equal to the Outback. We enjoy the tech features, back seat air controls, and the extra head room. Subaru did a nice job designing this car.

Foresters are great.

Another new one that Subaru keeps greatly improving over the years. Awesome ride and features. The new safety and convenience features are fantastic. It is fully programable/automated for two drivers.

Exceptional value and reliability.

I just love the Forrester Limited SUV that I just purchased. Subaru has done a great job of designing the vehicle and equipping is with all the standard and optional needs such as safety features, handling, comfort,efficiency and exceptional reliability. I would always recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Great vehicle that is extremely well built.

I think this is the best carbi have owned. Everything fits together and works together. It is very well built and well thought out. All of the little things seem to work the way they were intended. It is a bit pricey but some dealers are dealing right now.

Best car for me at this stage of my life.

I love all of the safety features. This has the mirrors that light up when cars are in your blind spot and a beep when you leave your lane. More for my sister than me......
