Subaru’s the best for safety and reliability

This is my 6th! Subaru. I happen to lease every 3 years. They have updated 2021 Forester. Larger and more styled which I appreciate while keeping safety at its core.

My First Subaru

I always wanted to have a Subaru. I didn’t know if I would have it as my first buy car. But I’m so glad I went with it, and the forester itself has so much space and is very comfortable for me and when I have passengers.

The safest vehicle I have ever owned

This vehicle has all of my needs which care safety first. Than reliability. Value for your money. And well designed interior. I fell in love with the two tone seats. It drives like a dream.

Has all the features require to assist with safe d

Ladies preference for a vehicle which has all of the required features to assist with safety. Cameras are nicely positioned and the lane control, automatic braking and subsequent acceleration when the the cruise control is on is very helpful. Hopefully this SUV will last a long time.

Will advise upon further driving ,found that the extra elements for upgrade are a little pricey right now but are of specifications from the Manufacturer .

Looking forward to the gas mileage.

I've been driving a Chevy Silverado for two years and decided we needed something more efficient on fuel. After test driving several vehicles, comparing fuel and safety features it was a no brainer to go with this new Forester.

Wish I purchased sooner

Former Honda owner (for 21 years) and made a change after seeing a decline in the overall Honda product. I have owned my Forester for one month, have over 2,100 miles on it now and love everything about it, with one exception, the seat belt (that is the reason for 4 stars on comfort). I wish the latch was longer - it has taken some getting used too - but that is my only complaint. Ride is great, handling unbelievable and solid and don't pay any attention to the complaints about power and acceleration - it gets you where you need to go without any problems. I look for reasons to drive the car. My only regret is that I did not make the change sooner.

Got what I wanted!

This is my third Forester. It is a reliable car that fits my needs perfectly. I love the new headlights that see around a corner and the seat comfort. The cargo space is bigger than most cars in this class. It just drives well on short and long trips.
