this car is a dream to drive

This car is comfortable ,has the safety features I need and drives like a luxury vehicle. My only complaint is that it does not provide a place for a woman's handbag. The seats can be adjusted to accommodate both my husband and me due to our large height difference.

Can’t Go Wrong With A Subaru Forester

This car has everything I needed. It is AWD on all styles. The Forester is extremely comfortable and spacious inside. O’Leary of headroom and leg room. The trunk space is also roomy for an SUV. Great vehicle!!

A car that will last us for years

This car is exactly what we need for mountain and city driving and for long road trips. It performs well in snow and has incredible safety features (great for us older drivers). Wonderful sound system, beautiful ride!

Long time Forester driver

I have been driving Subaru Foresters for both work and personal use since 1999. These cars / SUVs are very reliable, and provide extra confidence and safety in challenging weather and road conditions.
