2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring review

Great value considering the superior safety features, low

September 22, 2025
By Tony P. from New York
Owns this car

Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.
