2021 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

I love all of the extras on my new car! Safety was my priority. Great safety features and love the look. It’s an SUV that feels more like a car. I don’t feel like I’m driving a truck.

Had never seriously considered a Subaru. After some research, had decided on purchasing a used VW Alltrack. Checked dealer Web site again the morning i planned to purchase the VW and on a whim, browsed Subaru. 1st pic that came up was interior of a 2021 white Forester Sport. Perhaps because I was coming from a VW Passat known for its very conservative styling, I was instantly smitten w the Forester interior. After doing some more research I decided on the Forester. I bought it used w about 2.4K mikes on it. It served as a demo car. I feel the $27k price was quite fair. Visibility is amazing. I’m 6’3” and there is still plenty of headroom left. The tall side glass and clever side mirror placement and extra triangle glass makes seeing out a breeze. Even rearward visibility is great. The extra large sunroof makes for an even airier environment. I will say the front seat bottom is just long enough. Any shorter and for me it would be an uncomfortable ride. If your inseam is longer than 36” the seats might be uncomfortable for you. While the back seat bottoms are just long enough for most, and the area is very roomy my legs couldn’t endure a king ride back there. But again I’m quite tall so it shouldn’t be a problem For most. Those who have rode in the back find it very comfortable and enjoy that the seating height is higher than in front giving them a great view ahead. Cargo room is what i really love. W the seats down, I can fit my 2x bike in there without removing the wheels. That’s a big deal for me. I find the power more than sufficient for the vehicle type and my mainly commuting purposes. I find the acceleration very responsive when I apply smooth steady pressure to the gas pedal. Punching the pedal, for me, resulted in a brash take off that seemed slower overall than when I apply a steady foot. I just took my first road trip, 600 miles, and now it seems the vehicle is broken in and the responsiveness is even better. Currently have about 4.2k mikes on it. This Sport came w the upgrade package that incl Harmon sound, auto back up monitor and braking and power lift gate. The suite of safety features is complete - lane departure, auto braking to emergency stop, adaptive cruise. The cruise works very well and accelerates very well when the car slows down for slower traffic and then finds sufficient open space to increase speed. Over the month I’ve had it I’ve learned how to manage the safety features and drive in such a way that it’s not annoying at all. Doing simple things like always signaling when changing lanes prevents the steering wheel from bucking back against your steering inputs. The torque vectoring allows for snappy handling when switching lanes and the turning radius is very tight and makes for great parking lot maneuvering. I love driving this CUV. I recent sat in a family members Rogue and then another’s CRV. I left both thinking I’m so glad I got the Subaru. When I see VW Alltracks drive by, I thank my lucky stars I did not get it. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Besides the outside appearance, is the safety of the vehicle. All the safety features, gas savings, roomy and all the benefits that you can, i.e. service, maintenance and so on.

Very few problems and very dependable. The 2015 was trade in for the new 2021 Forester which I believe will be even a better car.

Just purchased the vehicle yesterday. After test drive liked the ride and will update after driving it for a few months. At this point I would recommend the Forester to others seeking to purchase a new car.

This car meets all my needs and has the best safety rating! Suburu is a car that I trust and feel safe in!! Glad to be part of the Subaru family!

I just purchased my 2021 Subaru Forester Limited which has a lot of options. aI only have 101 miles on it. I'm am 4'9" and I can see over the steering wheel without being on top of the wheel. The features seam awesome, and I love the power liftgate. It rides excellent. I am very happy with this car so far.

We have owned for only a few days, but the car has all of the features we need, great room front and back and great comfort.

I couldn't be happier with my 2021 Subaru Forester. I purchased the Limited trim package and just love it! I thought my previous car, a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe had lots of bells and whistles, but my new Forester seems even more luxurious. It's a much smoother ride. The road I live on is dirt and has lots of ruts, but I don't bounce around as much as in my old vehicle. The only thing I don't like is how loud the seat belt reminder is. It starts chiming as soon as I start the engine and quickly becomes progressively louder and louder and louder, which I find very annoying.

The car is perfect size for my wife and I. We like all the safety features and the car feels solid when you’re driving it. The ride is great and it handles very well. All the features are easily accessible the car is easy to use.
