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.

I’ve only had it for 24 hrs, so far best car !

Considering my old car didn’t even have Bluetooth, I’m in heaven. No blind spots, it has intermittent wipers! So much more than I’ve ever had. Excellent car!

New Subaru Owner

This car rides smoother and has plenty of leg and head room. The Cabin is quiet compared to other vehicles we have owned. Very pleased.

Subaru wins again

Only weeks old but seems to be an excellent vehicle. Enormous number of new technical/operational controls. As I become familiar with them, I find them to be extremely helpful.

Former Toyota owner

This is my second Forester. I was a long time Toyota owner but now that I have switched to Subaru I don't think I'll ever go back. The Forester has superior AWD making it easy to handle and the boxy shape increases the driver's viewing capability. I hope this never changes!

Owned Subaru’s for past 27 years.

Safest, better resale, reliable, very best Eye Sight feels like driving down a velvet tunnel. All wheel drive makes handling great even if you don’t go off road. They keep making important safety and design upgrades. I have driven rentals, family and friends cars over the years and Subaru is the best all around and at an affordable price.

Second Subaru and I love the Forester!

Always loved the Forester so I finally got one and I'm thrilled! It's a great car; roomy, great visibility, high level of safety and great standard features on the Limited edition. I would highly recommend this car.

Best Car We've Ever Owned

This is our 4th Subaru and our favorite so far. We chose the Sport model of the Forester. We love the technology and all of the new safety features plus it's very comfortable getting in and out.
