Used 2023 Subaru Forester for sale near Irondequoit, NY

Brought my Accord in for my yearly inspection. The team at Ralph Honda did a very thorough job and found that everything was looking great. It is very reassuring to know that my car is all set for another year. Plus they washed my car, very nice.

LOVE this car, maybe a little biased since this is my 5th Forester, my 2nd Wilderness. My first Wilderness was totaled in a head-on collision when a young driver spilled coffee and veered into my lane and struck me head-on. That was my 1st Subaru Forester Wilderness and IT SAVED MY LIFE. Full curtain all-around airbag deployment with a roll, the Wilderness coming to rest on it's right side, me still strapped into seatbelt, and the Subaru automatic crash notification with a live person on the speakers asking me if I was ok and needed 911! Smoke still coming from the airbag deployments, and there is a live person coming over the speakers asking me if I'm ok. It was surreal. SUBARU FORESTER WILDERNESS SAVED MY LIFE! TYVM Subaru! LOVE this car! Gets 25+ MPG with conservative driving, a great ride and suspension, superior traction in mud and snow, load-out practically anything/rack bikes (or whatever on the roof racks), sleep in the back with ample room, superior rear-gate lift mechanism with memory, seats super-comfortable and easily adjustable, solid rear-seat leg-room, easy rear-seat fold-downs for massive cargo area that takes my full HVAC tool load-out for servicing ice baths all over the NorthEast US. A great value, especially CPO with +10K mileage (vs. new) MONEY WELL SPENT! SUBARU FOR LIFE

Excellent experience! From the sales person to finance manager to the delivery technician and even the service staff. I absolutely love my 2024 Crosstrek and will be a Van Bortel Subaru customer for life!

Likes: spacious interior despite modest exterior dimensions, easy to maneuver, great visibility all around, comfortable ride, good traction, handling, and braking, nice interior finish on sport model, strong steering responsive headlights yet they don't blind opposing traffic, very good optional Harmon sound system, numerous effective safety features, low insurance premiums, adequate acceleration..a few cons: actual economy slightly under EPA estimates, seat may be a bit too firm for some but easy to address by adding a thin seat cushion, mandatory sunroof on all but the base model..I wish Subaru would just make that a single option..rough engine start-stop ..however I disable it each time I start engine so it can be a non issue...no reliability issues yet but since this has a cvt and fairly complex safety features, long term reliability is unknown..

service department was amazing. customer service was next level, waiting area was clean bright and welcoming. Sadly the services I needed done would have cost me WAY too much ($2500 for a set of headlights) and an ecu flash to reset a tune that untold wasn't there (didn't work. but was ultimately no charged fir a failed flash) by the former owner (A DIFFERENT DEALER) and a new ecu may not have even fixed the issue. so just bad luck on my part, but the service and knowledge from said departments was amazing. The inspection video was amazing, thorough, and deatiled. professional through and through. 11/10 would recommend west herr subaru. Nick the SA was great. Thanks again for the loaner. Not my style but handled beautifully.

This is our second Forester. Our first was a 2011 Premium we bought as a CPO in 2014 and unfortunately went through the headache of excessive oil consumption within months of buying it. Subaru did eventually replace the engine short block on their dime, but only after repeated oil consumption tests and being told by the dealer service department that it was within normal limits. Calling Subaru of America was the only way we got it resolved. I was impressed that they approved the service, and that's the reason we bought another Subaru. We also have a 2018 Outback Premium in our garage--no oil consumption, and no major issues except replacing the radio for failed lighting behind the volume knob and a minor leak in the oil pan (no dripping underneath the car though) at about 42k miles. We like our 2023 Forester Sport overall, and first and foremost we like its excellent safety ratings and features. I will say the ride is much firmer than our Outback which is only a couple hundred pounds heavier. Wish it had a little more storage in the center console and beneath the climate controls. We look forward to many years of driving with the Forester (and our Outback). Based on our experience, I do feel getting a Subaru-backed extended warranty is worth it for peace of mind (we bought them for our first Forester and now our Outback and both eventually paid for themselves). You DON'T have to buy the warranty when you purchase the vehicle. Call different dealers in your state and ask for their price on an extended warranty for your vehicle--we saved hundreds of dollars by doing this. You have until your manufacturer warranty expires to add an extended warranty.

I bought my truck in May and everything was smooth and above board. Great people and the place was clean and comfortable.

The radio and the heat settings leave a lot to be desired. If you’re looking for a heater setting, you won’t find it. Nothing annoys me more than unrequested updates on flood watch/warning. it just can’t be tailored to exactly where you live. But every 6 minutes is a bit of overkill. And our previous Forester had a tray in the middle storage (glove box). Even though we asked our salesman about that, we have heard nothing. Missing the change tray a lot.

VERY HAPPY WITH 2024 CROSSTREK , SHOULD OF BROUGHT IT ALONG TIME AGO. ALL STAFF VERY FRIENDLY . NO HARESSMENT

This is my first Subaru Forester and I could not be happier with the car. Super pleasant dealer experience and lots of features for the price. Will definitely get another Subaru.

Bobby was our salesman. He made us feel like family. He went above and beyond our expectations to help us get the car we wanted. Love the West Herr Team.

I have leased many cars in the past but this experience with Evan and Russell at Vision Hyundai of Henrietta was by far the most pleasant, stress free experience ever. Evan never put any pressure on me and came up with a deal that far outweighed even my best expectations! He is an honest, kind young man and has earned my business for life! Thank you Evan and Russell and the entire team at Vision for such exceptional service!

So, okay I was wrong!!! Summit view is a standup car dealership. Yes, at first I was hasty in my review which ultimately these guys had nothing to do with it. I was just in a bad mood that day. Seriously, whatever I thought about Summit quickly changed into a dealership I would bring my Grandma to. They did everything I asked for and more went really over the top. It assured me to know whatever came what may, Summit view and ALL THE PEOPLE THERE, go above and beyond to make sure I'm happy, happy, joy, joy!!!!

Great service at the West Herr Subaru of Rochester. The service writers and technicians are excellent.

The Crosstrek was our sixth Subaru purchased from VanBortel in Victor, NY. Need I say more?

Kaya at West Herr Subaru was fantastic to work with! Super professional and gave us all of the facts right up front. My wife and I really appreciated the honesty and integrity from everyone at the dealership.

Third new Forester from Vince Bovenzi❤️❤️❤️ Easy, honest and great experience! We did it all on the phone. No negative surprises. A pleasure doing business at Van Bortle Subaru.

I had a very good sales experience at West Herr Subaru. My salesperson, Ray, was patient and took the time to answer questions and provide information. I never felt pressured to buy. At delivery, Jules was so helpful in making the delivery experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this dealer if you are looking for a Subaru.

The whole team was friendly, professional and helped us find the car we were looking for. The buying process was straightforward and we had a great experience overall.

Was looking for Ascent but changed my mind and waiting for 2026 Outback. Will see then

I recently had the oil changed and NYS Inspection done. When I returned home I noticed that the glove compartment was open and I could not close it. I returned the following day, and Jake in the service department went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied with the adjustment to the glove compartment. Thank you Jake for helping me out and getting the problem fixed. VanBortel should commend you for your fantastic customer service. Renee Shapiro (2016 Outback)

Van Bortel has a customer centric reputation that is richly deserved. Because of supply chain issues new cars were generally in short supply in 2022. I ordered my Subaru Outback on 1/20/22 and was HOPING for delivery by early April. Due to various issues ranging from Japan to the U.S. assembly facility in Indiana this district not happen. Van Bortel worked with me every step of the way with updated timelines, timely changes, and even generous pricing allowances to help to ease my ?pain.? They never once ignored or denied my requests. I finally took possession of my new Outback on 5/20 and EVERYTHING went like clock work. I could NOT be happier with my new my new Subaru or with Van Bortel Subaru. They are the BEST!!

Easy and friendly experience in buying new 2025 Crosstrek.All the staff are helpful and professional..
