Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Kansas City, MO

I was half way through a 13 hour drive when the transmission went out on our suburban. We landed at Van Chevrolet. I was met outside the service department by Kerry. I briefly told him what was going on with the vehicle and he jumped into action. Within 10 minutes Kerry and Jarrot had put in a phone call to enterprise to get us a rental car ASAP so we could get on the road. On top of that the rental place only had a tiny crossover available. Their only 4 door car available was due for an oil change. These guys went over and above and offered to change the oil for enterprise so we didn’t have to ride in a clown car. The trip we were on was a quick turn around trip for a funeral. We would be back through Kansas City in only two days. Jarrot and Kerry both agreed that the chances of our suburban being fixed by then were slim to none. We received a phone call from Jarrot the next day. He said they tried very hard but the transmission they received was the wrong one. At that point we were making plans for someone to drive back to KC sometime the following week to get the suburban. (5.5 hour drive from home). Two days after our transmission went out we were on our way home in the rental car. Our phone rings and it’s Jarrot!! He asked where we were. 150 miles out of Kansas City. Jarrot said perfect and for us to stop and eat lunch and our suburban would be ready when we came through!!! These guys never gave up. One road block after another! All this for somebody from out of town. Not a loyal customer. Not a big spender. Someone they’ll more than likely never see again. If this doesn’t convince you that Van Chevrolet is the real deal then nothing will. I’d recommend this place to any and everybody.

This model of subi has been great, outside of the factory warranty 2.5L engine replacement. Quick and responsive with the 5 speed. The automatic leaves a bit to be desired. Almost 9 inches of ground clearance is Jeep territory and the AWD system inspires confidence in rain, snow and mud.

Very friendly and courteous customer service. Quick service. The only reason I did not go with a '10' is I felt the unnecessary items were mentioned I needed to do. Rebalance my tires after only 10K miles? Alignment at the same time? Transmission fluid exchange at 72K miles? The service rep was not pushy just suggested.

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.

I bought a vehicle here 8 months ago for my daughter. I do know about cars and repair my own so I knew what to look for. I bought a 2005 SUV that had a good engine and no major problems that I could see. I checked it out at my garage before I bought it. There were three minor problems with it both of which they fixed with no hassle at all. The salesman had an easy job but he was very respectful. They do sell a lot of older cars for low prices so these are bound to be in poorer condition. If you don't know cars you should bring the vehicle to a mechanic. Older cars will have problems like leaks, rust, worn out suspensions, parts that will fail sooner rather than later if they have not been replaced already, like starter, alternator, water pump, radiator, a/c parts. I will add that after about two weeks the CEL came on in the SUV. I pulled the code and it was an exhaust leak, a minor problem that does not need a repair at this time. The vehicle I bought was in very good condition and was a good buy. I would buy from them again.

This car meets and exceeds all of my needs. I looked an numerous wagon-like models, because my old car was . VW Passat wagon. I looked at the Outback and the Forester, and immediately chose the Forester because of the feeling of space (more head room, bigger windows, and the moon roof).

I had a great experience as far as communication and response to my concerns. I really liked the idea of buying a car online but the prices aren't that great. I know shipping is a cost but I would like lower prices.

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.

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.

The best example of why I love this car: passing all the stuck in the snow giant four wheel drive trucks in the parking lot at work to easily park and leave as well. Bravo Subaru

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

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.

This car is perfect for me. It combines comfort, reliability, styling and exceptional performance on all types of roads. I have the Touring turbo model which is very quick off the line and hustles down the road easily when prodded. Combine all of that with the practicality of an SUV and you can understand why I am in love with it. I prefer to drive it over my other car (which I also love), a 3 series BMW, because it is as quick but much more versatile.

I loved the look of the Forester. I also liked the way it drove. I had to not get the Forester because when you fold down the back seats there is about a six inch hump . This as going to cause problems hauling items. There was also a good bit of space between the front seat and the folded down seats even if you moved the front seats all the way back.

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.

Such a quick and simple experience. I walked in wanting to test-drive a mini-van that I saw online. Dominick helped immediately- I loved the van, but then Dominick also gave us $1000 over what we expected for our trade! As a cherry on top- their financing team found us rates significantly lower than what our credit union was offering. Such a great time there- they even entertained our kids with the TV area and roaming puppy. We will be back!

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.

Yesterday was my first time buying a car; prior to that I had been to 3 subpar dealerships and couple that with the horrow stories that I had been told about I was coming into this pretty nervous. John and the other employees were very personable but not pushy whatsoever. Everybody was super friendly, they walked me through the process step by step but quickly and made the process pain free. Walking the lot I found 3-4 other great cars that were in my price range that I liked but settled with my 16 Sonata Sport for a great deal. I have already recommended Luxury & Imports to a few friends and intend to always throw their name out their when somebody mentions buying a new car. Hopefully I don't need a new car anytime soon but if I do I will definitely be giving John Rea and Luxury & Imports a call!!

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.

Purchased a 2014 Q5 3.0TDI here recently, after visiting a number of other dealerships. The entire experience from the get to was great, with fast response to online inquiry, vehicle immediately ready for a test drive and easy and fast purchase process. I was able to take the Q5 overnight on a test drive to allow my wife to see it prior to finalizing the purchase. Even with the great level of service, there was no 'pushiness' whatsoever that you would usually associate with car salesmen. The vehicle was priced fairly and competitively to begin with, and minor quips regarding it were all taken care off to beyond my expectations prior the car being delivered directly to us. Will definitely look here first for our next car purchase!

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!

I bought a car from Brian. He knew his inventory from top to bottom. There was no pressure and I great a great discount for my cash. I would recommend to all.

Excellent build quality overall. 110kW on an AWD = pretty gutless, but that's okay so many cops around now anyway lol. Excellent driver visibility. Exterior style still looks good today. Interior layout is good but back seats a little cramped for adults. Good reliability so long as you do the basics like check fluid levels, change oil on time, change timing belt on time etc. If you don't do this kind of stuff then expect problems.

T J and Colby took good care of me. No pressure but very helpful. Would recommend to anyone

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.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Honda of Olathe purchasing our new 2019 Odyssey Minivan. Our amazing sales person was Tim Tilghman and we really appreciated all of the effort and time he spent with us. Tim was very informative on all the new features that the Odyssey had to offer our family and was always very responsive to our questions and phone calls. He was helpful in every way possible along our decision making process. This was our 4th car that we purchased from Olathe Dealership - but first car with "Honda of Olathe" (the previous 3 were from Frank Ancona) and we were very impressed with their process - very smooth and easy. I can't speak highly enough about how great we feel about our new Odyssey and how grateful we are to Tim and the "Honda of Olathe" team.

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.

I was able to schedule an appointment regarding a recall just a few days out. Then, Olathe Subaru agreed to tack on routine maintenance (oil change, etc.) at the same appointment so I could get car serviced before leaving on an extended trip. Once there, my car was promptly and quickly serviced.

Great car, but battery died after 6 months and Bloomington Subaru didn't make it easy to get it replaced. This is a known issue with Foresters.
