Used 2023 Subaru Forester for sale near Salem, NY

Enjoyable experience A big thank you to Betsy , Chris and Peter for making my purchase seamless. Everyone was kind and very helpful . The experience was tailored to meet my needs and exceeded my expectations . Thank you for all your hard work and expertise !

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..

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.

We had a great experience at Lia Nissan of Saratoga. The staff was terrific, especially our salesperson Osama Abujebarah! He and Jason his manager went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and got the exact vehicle we wanted. All happened in a timely fashion, and they were always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this dealership and working with Osama Abujebarah!

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.

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.

Another great experience with Mohawk chevy service department. Everyone was friendly,professional and polite. Overall best dealership i have ever dealt with and I highly recommend ths dealership to everyone I know

Good service. Everything was quick and easy, no issues. I will be coming back again.

Good service, polite staff, quality repairs. Car was ready when promised, it was easy to make an appointment online.

I can't say enough about this dealership. I purchased a new car with a trade and was able to do it almost completely online. The my salesperson (Nick) was outstanding to work with. When I went to the dealership to make the trade, the entire process took no more than a half hour. Fast forward to my 30,000 mile service again outstanding. It was discovered that I needed new tires and the service manager called to explain the problem, made a recommendation based upon the reviews of previous customers, and got the tires replaced in the same appointment. They were excellent tires, quieter on the road, but very reasonably priced. Overall only excellent experiences.

I have been buying cars and going to North Country for almost 25 years. For a reason. They are solid, always behind the repairs, etc. I will probably buy my last Subaru there when I'm 90.

They have been the most helpful and consistent auto business over many years.. They really care for their customers and they give back to the community.

My salesman was Patrick. The sale was enjoyable, quick and easy. I?ll recommend Patrick and North Country to everyone!
