Used 2017 Subaru Forester for Sale in Austin, TX

Our experience at Austin Subaru was amazing, as always. This time they really went above & beyond. Our Subaru Outback had started leaking unexpectedly & saturated the driver's side of the car. We called over the weekend & spoke to a manager who was SO helpful & friendly & got us in the next day. They took their time finding the (very difficult to find) leak & repaired it for us & our Outback is like new again. We are SO appreciative!!! -Brian & Christy

Just bought a new to me Forester and I couldn't be happier. Subaru hasn't let me down yet...this is my 3rd one and I can't imagine driving anything else. It's safe, reliable and sporty!

From the moment we walked into Austin Subaru for our appointment with Fouad Kassem, we knew we???d come to the right place. The ambiance of the dealership is warm, relaxed, and welcoming. Fouad was friendly, kind, knowledgeable and eager to assist us. For once I can say that buying a car can be a wonderful, carefree experience. In our case, we bought a preowned Forester and preordered a 2019 Ascent. Fouad fully explained all of the options we had in choosing the cars, but never pressured us at any step of the purchase. Indeed, the experience was so impressive that a couple of days later a friend of ours asked us to accompany her to purchase a car. We brought her to Fouad and he showed her all the options she had for a preowned car in her price range. She ended up with a Nissan Rouge and was thoroughly delighted with her car and Fouad???s assistantance. From start to finish, the three of us felt quite at home at Austin Subaru and glad we had the chance to do business with Fouad. We send our thanks to Fouad, Eddie, Lucas, Chris, and the others who helped us purchase our cars!

Can’t beat the great safety features for long commutes or long trips! This is a great family car or a first car for teenage drivers.

I usually dread car dealerships. I end up feeling either frustrated or like I didn't get a good deal. This wasn't the case with Austin Subaru. Everything was low-pressure, honest and quick. I checked the sales price against True Car and realized that I wouldn't need to haggle. I asked questions and got thorough, candid responses. In short, it was a surprisingly pleasant experience that contained zero of the BS I have come to expect from other dealerships. :-)

Excellent car for safety and performance. A repeat buyer. Subaru has added latest safety features like Blind Spot Monitor, RAB, Land Departure warning and Excelent Sound System.

New to the area, I took my wife’s Camry XLE in for periodic maintenance. I called the service department and received a same day appointment. The telephone receptionist was exceptionally courteous and friendly and provided me everything I needed to know. I was greeted promptly at the service center and introduced to My service advisor, Micah who was very professional and courteous. Micah escorted me to the customer waiting lounge which was well appointed and comfortable. Service was quick, professional with no pressured upselling. Probably the best auto service experience I’ve ever had in my 65 years of driving. Without reservation, highly recommended.

Full disclosure: My girlfriend owns it, but I drive it a lot. I find the 2017 Forester to be a pretty decent small SUV. I find it comfortable and fairly well-designed. I'm not a huge fan of CVTs but find it has enough pep when I need it. The dash is fairly well-organized and all critical controls are knobs and buttons rather than buried in the touch screen like some cars. A few things could be slightly better organized but these are minor details. The Subaru infotainment system is pretty lacking and the touch screen is buggy sometimes. They're behind the curve on this. But overall it's a decent car even if I'd like it more with a 6 speed manual.

Inelda Bastillo and Steven Garza were top-notch. We drove up from Austin and would do so again. This was our best car buying experience ever (we are in our late-40s). There were no hidden fees and no hard-sells.

This is a great vehicle and we're so glad that we purchased one. We've had a couple of minor things go wrong that should not have such as the drivers side visor starting to squeak loudly. All said we are very happy with this car. On the down side there is now standard technology out there that is not available. Automatic wipers are missing and items like remote start and subaru's safety and security package are extra when Honda includes them both free. But my biggest issue is not the car it's that there is no convenient dealersl or service anywhere near me. The nearest service is 45 minutes away. The next car will have to be available locally.

Service was top notch and really organized. Staff was accommodating to my ongoing list of questions and put all my concerns to rest. I've been visiting the other dealership in Austin but not anymore. This is my Go-To shop from here on out. Can't believe I hadn't stopped in earlier!!!

Have owned 2 Volvos and the company lost it's spark. Subaru has that spot in my heart now. From the 5 star crash rating (except front passenger seat is 4 star) to great reliability records and good tech stuff I am thrilled.

The salesman - Kennedy Christopher Did a very good job in getting me set up in my vehicle- even staying 2 hours after closing time to do so. He is dedicated and kind to the customer and he works hard to make sure the customer has everything they need in thier vehicle.

Excellent vision in all directions from the Forester. We like the no non-sense styling of the Touring 2.5i. Easy to get into and out of which matters if getting a few years on you. Very good gas mileage and handling with excellent performance. The AWD is certainly one of many key selling points. Fit and finish is excellent with very good reliability so far. We think it is a excellent SUV and would definitely purchase another Subaru SUV if needed.

One of the best dealerships I have shopped at. Georgetown Volvo won over my business

This car is reliable, sturdy, comfortable and has many safety features. It still looks and drives like new after 2 years . Low maintenance and great gas mileage !

I like the comfort and the visibility of this car. All who have ridden in it feel that it’s comfortable too. Love the eyesight package which gives warnings regarding blind spots and so forth. Find it very easy to parallel park. My only complaint is that the audio controls aren’t intuitive to use, at least for me.

It has all the imenities I was looking for. Plus many more. It has a lot of leg room. Storage by the spare tire. I love the way the suv looks.

Wanting something all wheel drive naturally leads you to Subaru. If you're looking for something with some off road capabilities but also a steady commuter with some room to spare, the Forester is the sweet spot. The 2019 generation Foresters are great, but they lack the punch of the older turbo options. With the same 250+ HP, 258 lb-ft torque engine in the WRX, the 2.0 L turbo shaves off over 2 seconds from the 0-60 time of the standard 2.5i engine. And it's noticeable. It gets knocked for being paired to CVT but I find it to be smooth and has great throttle response in Sport mode. Off road and in snow it does really well and lives up to the hype. A lot of reviews don't consider the Forester to be that stylish on the exterior, but I think that's ultimately a matter of preference. I find the exterior to be simple but muscular with the XT having a meaner front end. Inside there are some good upgrades which finally make the Forester feel a bit more luxury including leather seats and accents, a quieter interior and a decent sound system. The Harmon/Kardon sound system still leaves a lot to be desired, however. It's very bass heavy without a lot of refinement. Overall the Forester XT with Touring trim offers some nice amenities with still staying true to the rugged nature Subaru is known for. Pros: fun to drive (3 driving modes, paddle shifters), great visibility, great off road capabilities, roomy back seat and trunk, giant sunroof Cons: lower gas mileage, premium fuel recommended, lack of interior refinement, weak infotainment system

We have owned four Subarus over the last 20 years. It is the only brand that I trust not only for the quality and dependability of the vehicles but also for the integrity and EXCELLENT customer service of the dealerships. When I walk through the doors of Austin Subaru, I know that I am going to be treated with respect from the sales floor to the service department. As a woman, buying a car can be an infuriating experience. At other dealerships I had salesmen question my ability to drive a manual transmission, drop women-driver jokes, try to TELL me what I wanted, talk over me to my husband, and give me the run around with numbers. Working with John Martinez on my latest purchase was hands-down the best experience in purchasing a new vehicle I have had. Each time I test drove a car, he tossed me the keys and said "go for a spin and let me know what you think!" He was extremely informative and he talked with me, not at me. He gave me space to make my decision and not once did I ever feel like I was being SOLD something but rather being assisted with my purchase. For that I will gladly hand over my money. Other dealerships could learn a lot from the folks at Austin Subaru.

This SUV is a great vehicle for the money, and is extremely comfortable on long road trips. It has a smooth ride with ample power for around town use. I would have preferred an analog fuel gauge instead of the digital one.

This car has meet all my needs. I feel good driving this car. I feel safe!It has all the great features in it. It is a very comfortable car to drive.

A comfortable ride, an elevated seating position, standard all-wheel drive, and available state-of-the-art safety technology. Excellent fuel economy. Exceptional acceleration thanks to sequential fuel injection. Best AWD system developed so far.

The staff are supportive and attentive to needs without being pushy, which I appreciated. The space is comfortable and active with professional service and quality extras: an awesome coffee bar, dog-friendly people(staff and customers) and knowledgeable customer service folks who not o let appear to enjoy their job but also go out of their way to answer questions and work with whatever you need. I???m loving my new car and appreciate the people who made it happen. Thanks Isaac!

Great SUV for a modest investment! I'm getting an average of 24 mpg and 28 on highway trips. The noise level is low and the comfort is high. I have almost 25000 miles and have not experienced any issues. Buy this car if you want value and reliability!

One-year checkup for our 2017 Outback 3.6L. Appointment easily made. Service manager met me in the lane and was ready to go. Work done on time and car washed. Everything explained to me. I wish I had asked if they adjusted tire pressures as they rotted from front-to-back. I'm very satisfied.

First thing I notices when driving this vehicle was how easy it is to see out of! The windshield and the way you're seated gives the ultimate view of the road which I love. The ride is exceptionally smooth and the car looks stellar! Highly recommend!

Dead battery jump started by AAA and thought I should get it checked. Got appt with the hour - battery may have been OK but replaced as "goodwill". While I was there, it was time for oil change and tire rotation on my 2016 Subaru Outback so that was also done , and my car was washed. All this while I enjoyed a chai latte and just-out-of- the oven croissant! Jonathan Sosa was very helpful and explained everything. I love my car, and the service is great. Thanks!

This car has been a good car. It seems to be very reliable. It also has been good in the snow and ice. It also gives good gas mileage.

Have had my Crosstrek for a week now... Extremely happy with it, and the entire car buying experience I had here! John Martinez was my sales rep, referred to me from friend who bought one here from John as well. John was personable, straight-forward, answered all my questions and made the process pretty seamless from beginning to end. Ended up with a really great and fair deal, and I appreciated the time it took. Kudos to the rest of the team, as everyone was very attentive and professional, and I felt at ease the entire time. John and the entire team there exceeded my expectations! This is my first Subaru, but likely will now not be my last. :)

This car met all of our needs. It has plenty of leg room, wide opening doors, back up camera and heated seats. It also has the least number of blind spots I've ever had in a vehicle. I also feel safer in my Forester then I have in any other car I've owned. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new car/small SUV.

Beautiful, efficient, handles well in all types of traffic. Have taken on 2 lengthy road trips so far and just love it! Easy packing hatch back holds luggage and extras for 3 weeks on the road. traveling caravan style with 3 other vehicles, my Forester voted most comfortable by all passengers and alternate drivers. I rarely need a comfort stop because adjustable seats make every drive like traveling in a lounge chair.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

This car has better quality than the 2012 outback we had. The room is better and the ride is smooth. The car has many more up to date safety features than he out we had.
