2025 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

Just purchased a new 2025 Subaru Forester hybrid premium last month and started having issues after driven 400 miles. First the eyesight system disabled once a while, second the odometer is completely blackout even while driving and finally the huge center screen are also blackout or it just doesn’t load up so which you can’t turn any thing on and off such as AC, RADIO, GPS, WIRELESS CARPLAY and more. Also the MPG is sucks especially driving in the city.

Great value! The ride is so smooth and the Forester holds the road really well on turns and curves. I got the base model and it still had great safety and comfort features. Very happy!

i t was QUIETER, LESS ROAD NOISE. BUT OVER ALL THE 2019 FORESTER I TRADED IN WAS A BETTER CAR. IT HAD BETTER GAS MILEAGE, AND I COULD TURN OFF THE AUTO BREAK SYSTEM, CAN'T ON THE 2025, MY BIGEST COMPLAINT, FOR IT ALMOST KILLED ME. THE 2025 ALSO MADE THE ARM REST CONSOL LARGER SO THAT IT WAS HARDER TO BUCKLE SEAT BELT. I WANT MY 2019 BACK.

I've had my 2025 Subaru Forester for a little less than a month. Pros: Smooth ride, comfortable seats, good sight lines out the windows, spare tire. Cons: Cost of extras already installed that I didn't want, duplicate control options for some items .

I love my forester!! The only complaint is the driving assist sensors don't work with a steering wheel cover (leather), and the adaptive cruise control is too sensitive. Other than those 2 things literally everything else is perfect.

We have had our new Subaru Forester for two months now. We find we love it more every day! The mfg. goes the extra mile in making sure a person is fully satisfied with the auto. I think it is one of the best values on the market. We purchased the Premium trim level and got every accessory we wanted and more. It is a very sharp looking SUV and exceedingly easy to operate all the options. I would say it's one of the best automobiles we ever purchased. It took until age 81 to purchase a foreign made auto, and gladI did!!

I love my 2025 Subaru Forrester. It is very quiet and rides well. The only downfall to it is that the audio system is it is not very responsive. And the screen on the console for heating and cooling ,you have to tap the screen instead of push buttons or knobs.

Purchased a new Subaru 2025 Touring Forester in March. Love this car. It has all the features for comfort and safety. The exterior color is new and is called River Rock. This is my 2nd Subaru and I love the quality that makes them one of the most popular cars on the road today. The ride is great and very comfortable. It has the brown NAPA brown leather interior. All the controls for this vehicle are easy to select and the infotainment screen has been enlarged to 11.6 inches. This model has been enlarged to handle many chores that you would expect from the Subaru design. Gas mileage is great.. Also no more wires this vehicle has a self charging area for your smart phone. This was a great choice for my needs.

This is our 2nd Subaru Forester. The first was a 2001 that I inherited from my mom. Liked it so much that we replaced it with a 2025 Subaru Forester Touring edition. Have had it for 2 months now and could not be happier. The ride is smooth and performance for a 4 cyl is great. Plenty of pep unless you are looking to race other vehicles. The seating is very comfortable and road noise is non-existent. I love that the safety ratings for this vehicle is higher than for any other SUV, not just in the small or mid-size category. The cabin is easy to get in and out of, both in the front bucket seats and in the rear bench seat. The second-row seating has a split back that you can drop for extra storage with the push of a button in the back of the car, making it easy to add that extra storage space as you are storing groceries or whatever. Great premium sound system that includes a free trial of SiriusXM. Bought my Forester at Premier Subaru of Fremont and the first 2 years of regular service was included in the deal. A deal that I was very happy with. I had checked around to find what was a great, good, fair or other price to pay for a new 2025 Forester. Only went back and forth a couple times before settling on a price. Good deal on a great car!

This is my first Subaru, a ‘25 premium edition. Got it as a used dealer loaner, so almost brand new. Wasn’t my first choice, but was the newest vehicle I could get for the price I was looking to spend, so I decided to take a chance on another brand. I am still getting used to Subaru nuances, drivability, and newer technology than my previous car. I can’t say I’m thrilled with it, like I was hoping to be with a new car. It lacks pep (for me personally). I know it’s a 4 cyl boxy car, but still. Using S mode helps a little, but eats into the already mediocre gas mileage, so I don’t use it much. Wind/road noise is loud, even with windows and sunroof closed, but is supposed to be better than previous editions. I can’t imagine. Less trunk space than my last car. Not a fan of the almost exclusive touch screen. I miss more dials and buttons. It doesn’t have as much storage/cubbies. Maybe I will grow to like it more. Overall, I am enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a new vehicle, but I miss some features and driving style of my last car (Honda CRV). I can’t speak on reliability yet, as I’ve only had it 2 months. Hoping I get one that runs a long time without issue, instead of one plagued with issues. I've heard of cases of both. I’ve already been berated by Subaru fans, but this is my personal opinion, which may change down the road. Only time will tell.
