Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Cathedral City, CA

I was looking for a used Subaru when I stumbled across Palm Springs Subaru. I called and spoke with Cesar about the car. He verified that it was still on the lot, since I live an hour and 1/2 away, and we made an appointment to test drive. When I arrived Cesar was helpful and no pressure on buying the car. We negotiated a price and I drove away with my new (used) car. It's too bad I live so far, otherwise I would be going to them to service the car.

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.

When we lived in the desert we always had our Outback serviced at Palm Springs Subaru. Then we moved to San Luis Obispo county and tried the dealership there, twice. They were awful. Always trying to up sell me something I didn't need. So we drove 5 hours to go back to Palm Springs for the 100,000 service. We were so greatful that we did. Sarah was wonderful. I would go back there every time, especially for something big.

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.

I was looking for a particular vehicle/price range. Cesar contacted me. We agreed on price. The 220 mile one way drive was well worth it.

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.

I've been a Toyota customer for a long time! My experience at Palm Springs Subaru has been the best ever! I am very happy with my new Crosstrek

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 !

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.

Congratulations to Cesar and the entire staff at PS Subaru.... Great environment, no pressure and no hassle...Will definitely recommend to friends and family.. Thanks Again

I like this vehicle except for the engine shutting off when stopped. it does have an override switch, but if I forget to set it the engine will automatically shut off. that's the only thing I don't like about this car.

Berry took care of me from point A to Z. I would highly recommend Berry and the dealership to any of my friends and family.

I like all the safety features. That's what sold me on the car. And it is excellent for the height challenged people. Very comfortable and easy infotainment center.

Great friendly service. Very attentive and quick service.

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.

Fabulous, friendly people. The people at Subaru of apalm Springs are always kind and friendly. The wait time for your vehicle is short. They check up with you and give you progress while you are waiting.

Solid and reliable car. You can take this car anywhere, whether up to the mountains or off the beaten path. Its comfortable and named CCR small SUV champion. It succeeds by focusing on the fundamentals with a space-efficient design, large windows, and big square doors. The result is the easiest access and the best view out of almost any vehicle tested. It also has one of the roomiest rear seats with copious amounts of head and leg room. It adapts various fuel-efficient technologies, including replacing the antiquated four-speed automatic transmission with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Forester delivers quicker acceleration, as well as a class-leading 26 mpg overall and 35 mpg on the highway in our tests making it a solid adventure SUV or commuter.

I was browsing cars.com for a used car, I found one I thought I was interested in at Palm springs Volvo subaru. I phoned the dealership and spoke with gilbert who informed me the car and was available, so I test drove it the next day. I was pleased no pressure was put on me to purchase and I was also informed there was a similar car which was available at a reduced price, I also test drove this vehicle. being close to closing time on that day I went on my way, informing Gilbert I would get back to him if I was still interested. I became ill several days later and forgot about the car(s). being true to his words Gilbert made no attempt to pressure me into buying the car(s). I was pleased no pressure was put on me. several weeks past and I recovered somewhat so I looked at cars.com and found the car I originally was interested in was still available. I phoned Gilbert and he informed me the car was still available and was reduced to basically a wholesale price. I returned to the dealership the next day, Gilbert had it washed and up front for me to drive. I bought the car, took less than 1.5 hours, I was offered an extended warranty at a good price but declined, there also was no pressure to buy it. bill the used car sales manager informed since the battery had gone dead on the lot, a new battery was ordered and would be put in before I took delivery, I came back a couple hours later and drove my car off. as I like to detail my own car and was doing so the next day, I noticed the windshield cracked on the car, it was in an inconspicuous area which both the dealer and I overlooked. I returned to the dealership that Sunday morning, bill asked if I could leave the car as not to make the fracture any worse. I did and and I was offered a courtesy car or a ride home. I took a ride home. bill informed me the next day the windshield could not be repaired and the cost to me would be to push potential customers to Palm springs Volvo Subaru. thus I wrote this review. this is a great dealership to shop in Palm springs, I had a most pleasing experience there. I highly recommend of you are looking for a vehicle to visit them on the 111 on the palm springs/ cathedral city line. I believe I got a good vehicle at a good price with no exorbitant add on dealer fees. the staff are honest and friendly. I have bought many vehicles from many dealership's and found this dealership one of the best I've ever encountered. check them out, you won't be disappointed!

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!

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
