Used 2016 Subaru Forester for Sale in North Smithfield, RI

Drove an hour from home with somewhat low expectations that we would end up driving away from the dealership with the actual car that I had been looking at. I had been researching car purchases for weeks - it's been 11 years since I actually purchased a brand new car - and was really going there with the intention of buying a pre-owned. Before heading down there - I had communicated with Mark Rossi - in the Internet Sales Dept - and told him I was interested in 2 specific Durango's - one was new and one was pre-owned. We set up a time/day to come down but there was no pressure from him. Thank you, Mark! When we arrived at the *complex* (because it really is) - we were *FLOORED* - never expecting such a sight because - let's face it - it's in the "boonies"! Mendon is beautiful - really - but still - the boonies! We were so pleasantly surprised to see that this was a state of the art complex - each Dealership is specifically decorated with a theme(i.e. Ford is the "music hall of fame") and all are gorgeous and immaculate. They even have their own diner - the Miss Mendon!! WOW - was that a treat!! We had lunch on them (our Salesman gave us a $25.00 coupon for lunch while were waiting for our numbers to be worked out) and that was awesome - the food is great - service excellent and friendly! That Diner is also spectacular and lovingly cared for - it's so obvious. As we walked through the property we saw all these other amazing amenities on site - car wash/detailing, rental and much more. We worked with a young salesman - who could not have been more professional - Tim Stein. For a gentleman just recently graduated from college - he is mature beyond his years and definitely headed in the right direction, He didn't miss a beat and dealt with our anxiety about this car purchase with good humor (thanks, Tim - I know we were probably a pain in the *ss!!), He really did try to give us the best options available and make sure we understood that difference between the pre-owned and the new in terms of pricing/payments and what the reality of what our trade was going to bring us but even with that he accepted the fact that we wanted to try to negotiate it anyway (we were unfortunately upside down on the trade....). In the end - we got a brand new 2017 Dodge Durango - it's actually the car of my dreams!! For the financing part of it - we ended up having to walk next door to work with Imperial Ford's Finance Manager - Kim Jacques - I wrote a separate review for her on the Imperial Ford Dealer - she is, hands down, the best finance manager in the business! I could not be happier - but I do expect to be driving it for a *long* time - lol!! It may have been more money - but the experience in and of itself - was really the *best* car buying experience I have had in my lifetime - and my husband can say the same. We have purchased many cars over the years and dealt with unethical dealers (hence the upside down trade...) and were very leery going into this purchase. I can safely say that we won't ever go anywhere else again to buy a new car. My husband is also a Dodge owner (Ram Truck) and he intends to go to Imperial to purchase a new truck from them in a year or so and we fully expect that we will get the same excellent treatment and deal. It was well worth the one hour drive - and now I look forward to driving to the beautiful little town of Mendon! Thanks, Tim, Mark, Kim and Imperial!

Great dependable cars...I have one with 265K on it and as soon as I have the radiator replaced I will give to the grandkids. Comment

I hope Honda pays there staff good to keep them there...wonderful people to work with, customer service is not lost they know what it takes to keep the customer happy and meet half way

This car its all we were expecting. A lot of space in the back . Its perfect for families. I just loved everything off it.

I had a wonderful experience with carmax in Westborough. Very friendly staff, very clean. They don't harass you. Upon entering the building, I was greeted and directed to the vehicles I was interested. I ventured the lot on my own and able to check out the vehicle. All the details were located on the window or they have touch screens with the info of the cars on the lots. Chris C was my sales person, he was very quick to respond to questions I had after I left the lot and also gave me detailed information about the cars I was interested in purchasing without haggling me to buy the more expensive car. When I had a question for him he would always answer it and send the brochure or the car detail info so I had it. The day I made my decision I was driving off the lot in a preowned vehicke within a few hours. I was extremely happy with my experience and would recommend Carmax in Westborough for anyone searching for a preowned vehicle. And i had been to other dealerships for test rides.

The Subaru manufacturer produces top quality cars at common man prices. My used 2016 Forester 2.5i is a base trim model, however, it has what I really need in a car without the up charge. The engine is well sized for the the vehicle; it is paired with a CVT transmission. The combined effect is that with little pressure on the gas peddle, the car springs into action. (No more holding up the line when the light turns green.) Last weekend I took the car on a camping trip. Some of the roads of the campground were muddy and uneven with 2 inch stones. The high suspension and symmetric 4 wheel drive of the Forester handled the roads effortlessly. On the highway to and from the campground, the Forester was a smooth well handling ride, even over the winter torn roads. There is plenty of torque at highway speeds for highway acceleration. The cabin interior layout places the major controls at easy reach. The operation of the infotainment system is reasonably user friendly, and there are quick controls on the steering column. In summary, my Subaru Forester is is a well equipment, quality vehicle, especially considering it is the entry model. Based on Consumer Reports I expect a long and trouble free (reliable) service life. Good quality, reliable, reasonable price = valve, value, value.

Very professional. They provided a great experience. Jason was very pleasant to deal with. He was upfront with us about the pricing, and able to answer our questions. No fuss, easy car buying experience.Car was as promised flawless and a great deal.

Just what I look for in a car nice size all wheel drive and on and on. After 3 subies I don't need to say anymore

This is my third and my wife???s second Mazda leased/financed through Tasca. Bayo Dina is the best car salesman with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working. He is patient and does not push the sale. The first time I purchased a Mazda from Tasca, the CX-5 was the first car in its class that I test drove. Bayo allowed me to just walk out when I explained to him that I wanted to do my homework by test driving many vehicles, but he added, ???You???ll be back for this car.??? He was right, and I just leased my third Mazda, a 2018 Mazda CX-9. His honesty is by far his greatest strength (which is not common of car salesmen). When I was browsing for a CX-9 back in July, Bayo looked into my current lease and explained that due to the negative equity in the current vehicle, it wouldn???t make sense to drive one car while paying for two. Most salesmen wouldn???t have explained that and would have just wrapped that negative equity into a new lease payment. My kids love him so much they often want to go visit him when they have a day off from school. He makes you feel like part of the Tasca family. Shop at Tasca, and ask for Bayo. The finance department does everything in their power to get you the best payment possible, and Bernie is an amazing sales manager, willing to work with you on your wants/needs.

Has everything I need, especially getting in and out as I am getting older. Also love the backup camera. Also, many controls are on the steering wheel as well as the dashboard.

Clay Subaru (and Val in particular) made my car buying experience as easy and enjoyable as I could have ever imagined it would be. I was greated immediately when I walked through the door and was helped every step of the way. Val knew the answers to every question I had and even the ones I didn't. He showed me the 3 Crosstreks I was interested in inside and out and gave me the 101 on Subaru ownership. Once I picked the one I was going to buy, Val made the remaining, sometimes boring parts of the car buying process very easy and pain free. I was in and out without issue and the car was ready in perfect condition right when they said it was supposed to be. Overall I was very happy with Val as a salesman, and Clay Subaru as a whole. I would recommend Clay Subaru to anyone who wants a great car and an easy car-buying experience!

I like everything about the forester except the radio. It is a touch screen and it is very hard to see in the day light.

I'd give more stars if I could. I had been looking for a Toyota Camry and I live in Connecticut. I found one at a local dealer but they (as usual) kept giving me the run around. They kept saying they couldn't find the keys and were waiting to get new ones cut. Well after a week of that I gave up and went back online only to find a beautiful 2013 Toyota Camry with only 31000 miles! I called and spoke to Daphne and she couldn't have been nicer. She understood my situation and later that afternoon I drove up and test drove the car. No high pressure sales. It's a family owned lot with some great cars. I bought it that same day and picked it up the next. Daphne even put 4 new tires on it. I would highly recommend checking them out before you buy elsewhere. It was worth the 2 hour drive and I love my Camry. Thanks so much.

This car is exactly what we were looking for in an AWD vehicle. As my husband and I are older, it was more important to us to feel safe should we find ourselves in a snow or rain storm. We also wanted to have a vehicle that we did not have to pull ourselves up and out of. This SUV is perfect for us. We wish it road a bit more smoother but the safety and convenience outweighed that.

Upon first impression at Absolute, I like that I was able to freely just browse without someone jumping down my throat. That being said, they gave me NO pressure to buy a car. It's not a good look when a dealership seems desperate for my business (ahem Midway). I also was impressed that each car was squeaky clean detailed PRIOR to test driving. I got a great deal for a 2014 Ford Escape, something I never thought would be in my price range at the moment. A few weeks later, I returned with a key issue. I was only sold one key when I bought the car (technically not their fault-they were also only sold one key from the auction). However, on the dash, it said that there was a second key floating around somewhere. Normally I wouldn't care about having a second key, but my issue was that I had my car stuck on the "my key" parental control setting and NEEDED an admin key to shut it off. I researched the issue and found that other people were forced to pay $300+ out of pocket when going back to their dealer with this issue, so that's what I was expecting. However, I was pleasantly surprised that they offered to pay for me to go to a specialist and get a new key programmed! I do have one critique. I had called about this issue about one week after purchasing the car, and Lisa answered the phone. She definitely doesn't have the most friendly tone, to be honest. I felt more welcomed by the gentleman. All in all, great service and will be back to the shop for my car maintenance.

This car is great for mountain roads and highway driving. Eyesight was a selling point when I purchased and recommend buying Starlink every year. Having that connection when something has happened is worth every cent. What sold me along with Eyesight was the visibility of the Forester and the interior room. I tested a CRV and the Forester and the Sub won hands down.

Very good people to deal with. I would have purchased from them except I ended up buying a brand new one.

Positive: Very solid 4-wheel drive medium-size SUV. Great interior, wonderful visibility through large windows for safe turning, changing lanes and backing up. Handy rear video backup camera. Good traction for winters, even without snow tires. Eyesight package is a comforting feature, even for short local highway drives, since it helps keep you in pace with traffic without going over your set limit. Heated front seats are sweet. Negative: Rubber pad on back bumper (part of winter package) seems to come unglued (body shops have reattached it twice). Plastic cowls (about 8" long) next to wipers on left and right sides of windshield rattle in the wind. Lacks low-oil indicator on dash display, so only way to know is to manually check oil level.

Feel safe! Had a rollover in a 2012 Forester, the other driver fell sleep. Because I am alive, the insurance adjuster said he has never seen anyone survive such an accident, I bought myself another one, a 2016. The only complaint is the Yokahama Geolander tires. I only have 24,000 miles on them but they are worn. Never seen such a thing. Will be replacing them in a few days before inspection. Other reviews say the same, they are the low quality eventhough they are expensive. In my family we own several Subaru's.

My husband and I were keeping our eyes out for a GMC Terrain or Acadia. I found a Terrain online and was 100% sure that was the car I was getting. I was in the process of rebuilding credit and Chris tried everything in his power to get us approved with payments in our price range. Unfortunately it wasn't possible with what we had to offer. The next morning he pointed us in the direction of a Nissan Rogue. I was convinced I would hate it but my husband told me to "just look at it". That same afternoon I went back to the dealer and test drive the Rogue. Let's just say, I am now driving a loaded 2014 Nissan Rogue and in love with it!!!!!! I instantly signed the papers and walked away with a smile! The sale was pain free and quick! I picked up my new car the next day (day 3) and do not regret a single second of it. Chris was amazing and if it wasn't for him, I would have never even considered the rogue (that I now love)

My 1st Forester is a 2009 turbocharged model which is still going strong with 110,000 miles. The newer Foresters offer safety and convenience features mine doesn't have so I decided to upgrade. The 2019 Forester no longer offers the turbocharged version so I opted for a certified pre-owned 2018 XT Touring which has a turbocharger. I love the vehicle but because the turbo is no longer available, the used turbo versions have become quite pricey. I am keeping the old one for hauling dogs, lawn equipment and towing my utility trailer. The new one will be just for people for now. The vehicle is just the right size. I am 6'4" and would appreciate a little more leg room and thigh support but the Forester is as comfortable as any other small SUV I checked. There is plenty of headroom. The turbo does require premium fuel and has a lower mileage rating. With the turbo and sports tuned suspension, it is a fun vehicle to drive and worth the money to me. In over 10 years, the older one left me stranded only once when a drive belt broke after 100,000 miles. Based on reviews, I expect the same reliability from the newer one.

My wife and I were very grateful to have dealt with Zack at the dealership. He had wonderful insight about the Subaru vehicles and pointed out many strong attributes of each model as-well as Subaru’s brand as a whole. His knowledge about each model I had inquired about had actually shocked me.. seeing as I had tried a few dealerships before here and they were not as descriptive on each models features. Zack was a pleasure to have done business with as wel as this dealership as a whole. Great experience and better customer service! 5/5 for sure!

Great car, but battery died after 6 months and Bloomington Subaru didn't make it easy to get it replaced. This is a known issue with Foresters.

Shopping for a new car is never fun for me- I’m that analytical person that has to run every possible option before making an agonizing final decision. Zack Ford, my salesman at Balise, made all the difference for me. He was patient, accommodating, and was never short or condescending. It made the process easy and satisfying and is probably the main reason I chose my new Crosstrek.

The best example of why I love this car: passing all the stuck in the snow giant four wheel drive trucks in the parking lot at work to easily park and leave as well. Bravo Subaru

I was originally looking at a 2011 chevy malibu that I had seen on the website. Our budget was between 250 and 350 a month. Jordan had asked us to consider a 2016 malibu as it would be better financially. The final number was 391/month so it was above the given budget but hopefully will work out in our favor. It was a VERY quick process, almost too quick as I feel some things weren't explained (like the warranties or gap insurance) very well if at all especially for this being my first time leasing a car. I felt very anxious not knowing what I was doing or what I was getting into until everything seemed to settle in place & work itself out. I'm happy with how everything turned out & I think I got a great car for a good price for what it's worth.

This car is perfect for me. It combines comfort, reliability, styling and exceptional performance on all types of roads. I have the Touring turbo model which is very quick off the line and hustles down the road easily when prodded. Combine all of that with the practicality of an SUV and you can understand why I am in love with it. I prefer to drive it over my other car (which I also love), a 3 series BMW, because it is as quick but much more versatile.

When I arrived at the dealership I noticed they were busy and did not know where to begin. I was greeted by Mark who gave us a realistic time frame to be seen, 45 minutes. The manager Dan checked in on us. Mark actually was the salesman to help us, it was worth the wait. He knew the Forester lineup and was able to ascertain which model would be the best for us. He listened to our concerns and why the Forester might be better for us than the RAV 4. With other customers staring at us waiting to be helped Mark never took his attention off us despite letting him know we would be buying before the winter. When it comes time after revisiting each of the dealers and choosing which car we will lease, we will give Mark the opportunity to earn our business.

I loved the look of the Forester. I also liked the way it drove. I had to not get the Forester because when you fold down the back seats there is about a six inch hump . This as going to cause problems hauling items. There was also a good bit of space between the front seat and the folded down seats even if you moved the front seats all the way back.

Made another appointment for another Focus transmission problem. Service Rep assured me it would be taken care of. He gave me an appointment for the next day. By midday, received a call that the car was ready for pick-up, luckily this time it was just a module needing replacement.

Only owned it two days but so far really like it a lot! Look forward to many years of use from the Subaru Forester! Great

I went with my husband to buy his new car. His was old and dying. He bought a new car. This isn't his rating though. It's mine. I was stuck with a 2012 Hyundai Veloster (the butthole of the automotive world) with $7500 in negative equity and an almost 16% interest rate. I fell so in love with my husbands new (to him) Subaru Crosstrek, which John helped him select and Ray helped him finance. After some discussion, my husband and I decided that it would be in my best interest to get my own Subaru, if it were possible to offload the Veloster and finance a new car with the added negative equity. John helped me find an awesome brand new Impreza but I still didn't know if financing would be possible. Unfortunately by this point it was 4pm on Saturday and I had to suffer through 2 days of wondering. Let me just say that Ray is the best auto financing guy I have ever met. He somehow managed to find me financing to cover this incredible new car, all of the negative equity of the old car, and got me an amazingly low interest rate. So here I am now, the proud and ridiculously happy owner of the most awesome 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport ever, I have incredible financing, an extended warranty, gap insurance, and the comfort that comes with knowing I didn't get screwed over. Every single person I have talked to about Long Subaru has said they are awesome and the opinion of the Subaru brand itself is just as good. I am happy in the knowledge that when I have to get to work in a snow storm, I will be safe. On a more general note, we interacted 4 total employees, in person and on the phone. We also saw other employees working with other customers in the 5+ hours we were there the first day. Every single person in there is friendly, professional, and personable. The dealership is clean, bright, and inviting. The technology is very up to date (you've gotta see the desk in Ray Brian's office). Everyone seems to genuinely love their jobs and their product and their enthusiasm is very infectious. In addition to all the stuff already mentioned, they have an a very cool coffee machine!

Replaced a 2002 BMW I bought new and loved until the last day I drove it in 2018. Now I look forward to every chance I get to drive my Forester. My dogs do too.

Jason Duquet went above and beyond to help get me out of my old lease as I was going to go over my miles and into a brand new lease. He listened to want i wanted and helped match me to the right car. I left that day with a brand new Kia Optima and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Jason!

Passenger airbag problem. Took over three months to get part. I have test driven 2019 and like this model much better. Just right size now hat I’m no driving a van. Touring model is great. Love the brown leather.

This is my second time working with Matt Orn, and I am glad I contacted him again. I purchased a new Corsstrek last year, and I loved it! However, I felt I needed more space as I had in my previous Forester. So we went for a test drive in the 2019 Forester, and here I am writing a review. Matt makes the purchasing of a new car very easy. He answers all questions, and has an abundance of patience! I knew what I wanted (again), and he was able to help me quickly. He is very prompt in replying to emails and calls, and he does not pressure. It was an all around great experience. This is my 3rd Subaru, and the peace of mind and comfort of driving is worth getting it right! Thank you Matt.

This cat is great for a small family. It gets great mileage, has ample cargo room and is comfortable even on long trips. I've been most impressed with the handling and performance this winter on snow and ice. It crawls through snow and and ice without any trouble.

I've always wanted a Forester - for years! - but when Consumer Reports said this was the best car for senior drivers, I bought one. I got the 2018 model because it was almost the same as the current year, but it's a splendidly equipped car. I love driving it and love all the safety features. The visibility is terrific. It's a certified pre-owned car, so it's almost as good as new. I'm a little concerned that a short driver like myself will feel some shoulder fatigue on longer trips - the armrest between the front seats isn't long enough or high enough for short drivers, and isn't sufficiently adjustable. So there's nowhere to rest my forearms comfortably. But that's really the only thing.
