Reliable, AWD & loaded with safety features

We purchased the Touring model as it included all the safety features as standard. In addition, this car gets better gas mileage on the highway than my previous Subaru. Would I purchase another Subaru? Yes, as this is the 6th Subaru we have owned. Great car.

Delighted with the evolution of this model.

Best Subaru we’ve owned. It compares most favorably to our best car ever - our Volvo 850 from long ago! Love the handling, seating comfort, sound system - great car!

Great value for the money

This is my first time owning a Subaru and I am very impressed with everything they have to offer. I feel super safe, comfortable, and current with all the available new tech. I like the way they monitor the car constantly and really treated me great during my buying experience. And, this SUV is great on gas too.

Excellent Car and Dealership!

I really like this car and feel really safe in it! I highly recommend it if you have children too! The sensors are excellent and the lane safety features are great for someone like me who does a lot of commuting!

Wonderful car

Has a wonderful look and drives wonderfully. I also love all the safety features. This is my second forester. Had a cross trek in between but do like forester better. Easier to get in and out of and more cargo space

Great car thus far

This car is great! Roomy, controls are easily accessible, the visibility is great, it handles well and is easy to park. I test drove some of the competitors and found this the best. Also my insurance rates are lower with this model versus the competitors.

Excellent Car!

I love my Forester Sport so far. I do not even have 1000 miles on it and I am averaging 31 MPG in mixed driving. Very comfortable car as well!
