Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Santa Cruz, CA

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.

Giovanni really knew the car, it’s capabilities and attributes. A real pleasure to shop with a bright and engaging salesperson. He made car shopping fun.

I was able to get in next day service (awesome) on a 30k mile service on my 2016 Subaru Forester. Tons of available times to choose from, which is rare with other service departments. Josh was awesome. Went through my service history, explained what needed to be done thoroughly, and was spot on with the wait time estimate. I even asked him "is it REALLY going to be 2 hours? Or is it going to be more like 3?" He said no, his estimates are usually spot on, and what do you know, he was right. Just 4 stars for the small waiting area, but it can't be helped. There's free wifi, popcorn and coffee, and terrible TMZ on TV to entertain the masses.

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.

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.

Amazing service! Want to thank Jon Grande for going above and beyond well helping me choose the rite car for me and my family. He was extremely patient with me while I couldn’t decided what car I wanted. In the end I didn’t feel pressured or rushed into anything I wasn’t going to be happy with. Jon Grande was beyond helpful throughout the whole process.

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

Samantha Bernal is very personal and a pleasure to buy a car from! Highly recommend her when looking for a Subaru! Didn’t feel pushed into buying any thing and they worked with our budget. Thanks Subaru!

Love my 2017 Outback!! Great ride, great gas mileage!! My dog and I are looking forward to many trips!! Samantha made buying experience hassle free!

Made a appointment with Russell to test drive a red Subaru Forrester. Car was ready and wife and I hopped in and drove around San Jose. Had a question about down shifting and asked to drive a Outback. Russell produced the car in no time and again we drove around San Jose and even up and down a hill to test the down shifting ability of the Outback. All during the time, Russell answered all questions we had, he was very knowledgeable about the Subaru products. We decided on the Outback if we could agree on the price and the financing. Again Russell and his team including Alvin and Oseas were able to get the price below Kelly Blue Book without any haggling and the usual song and dance you have to do with most dealships. Russell also got the special flavor of the month financing we wanted and we drove our new car off their lot without a regret. I would recommend Russell and his team of experts if you are interested in buying a car or if you like some free popcorn and coffee/tea.

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.

Alvin Lee was super helpful in the buying process. Not only did he answer all my questions, but he was very patient throughout the whole process. He was able to get us a great deal and I walked out with a brand new WRX!

Reliable, attractive, durable, safe, comfortable, all weather, slick design. All my cars have been from the Subaru family and all of my family has owned Subaru’s

John and Alvin were helpful, but not pushy, which was really good. The fellow in finance was wonderful, obviously very busy that day, but did not make us feel rushed, and gave us excellent advice.

Only owned it two days but so far really like it a lot! Look forward to many years of use from the Subaru Forester! Great

Charles was awesome. Had me out of there with a rental in less than 15 minutes and provided great insight into what is required for the service of my Subaru WRX.

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.

Adrian Fields was very polite and smiles at me when I drove to the servicing center at 8am. He asked me how my day will be (busy or not so busy?), took my details, told me what needs to be done to my car. Within an hour, he called and said my car is ready. I collected my car 8 hours later and he still remembered my name even though he wasn't the one who returned my car back to me. He is very attentive to his customers. Wished me well and asked me to go back again for future servicing, which I definitely will. I have been servicing my Subaru Forester XT since I bought it New in Feb 2015 and I am always so impressed with the customer service, the speed at which they service the car and the thoroughness of their inspection. Well done and thank you Subaru Stevens Creek for taking care of my car.

Hello, To start with, I really like the Subaru online appointment scheduling system, especially the possibility to choose a Service Advisor. I specifically wanted to deal with Troy Corriere as I have met him before and really liked the experience. This time was awesome as well!:) Mr. Corriere was nice, easy and pleasant to talk to from the very first moment. I felt like I met an old friend who is really glad to see me. Mr. Corriere has such a positive attitude and genuine smile, that it makes you feel very welcome. He has gone the extra mile to take care of my car and me. He was very courteous, attentive, understanding and precise about every detail of my visit. He even had left a ‘Thank You’ note with the paperwork at the end of my visit! This was so unexpectedly sweet, that it leaves you speechless!:) I have never seen such a great service before! I know that the service experience is a work of a team. But in my opinion, Service Advisor plays the most important role - he is the face of the whole Subaru Company before the client. Troy Corriere is the perfect example of an exceptional Subaru Service Advisor. I think he should be mentoring other employees how to give a perfect ‘Subaru time’ to the guest!:) I am sure any client would like to feel like a dearest guest coming to the simple oil change ¿ I just want to sincerely THANK Mr. Troy Corriere for the TRULY EXCEPTIONAL service! Best, Olga F., loyal Subaru owner :)

There is a very comfortable sitting area (with donuts!) for waiting and very friendly staff. Tony (my service advisor) went out of his way to get an unexpected special part for my car by sending someone out to buy one and install it while i waited. I was at the dealership for nearly 6 hours for my 90K service plus some extras. Tony made sure to give me updates along the way and help get the service done as quickly as possible. I felt like I was a valued customer, and my car received top quality repairs. Thank you!

Excellent Service, Fast Reliable, Professional. I came at 7:45 AM and I got home around 9:00 AM. The attendant was courteous, and helpful. Thank you for great service!

I brought my Crosstreck in to be fixed on a Saturday in the morning without an appointment bc the lady on the phone said I could just drop in. However, you cannot and since I was the first in line, Jon was amazing and let me still have my car looked at. He was so helpful, and I really appreciate him getting me in! They fixed my car and gave its oil change all by 2:30! So helpful!! Thank you Jon!

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.

Seriously, great service, I pulled up, dropped the car, and was out the door in less then 15 minutes. This is typical customer service here, I have never had any issues. I've owned a Mercedes years ago, and when I took it in for Service st another dealership, it was never pleasant, and took so long. Again, great service, Danny took great care of me and my car, having it brought in in a timely manner and the repairs completed right on time. I appreciate this so much,

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.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Dream car.love it .plenty of space, comfortable, powerful vehicle as well. I see my self recommending the same vehicle to other ppeople as well.why not..?

I've never experienced customer service like this in my life. I wish they could run every business and every operation the way Daniel Salinas ran the show.

Great dependable cars...I have one with 265K on it and as soon as I have the radiator replaced I will give to the grandkids. Comment
