Used Subaru Forester for sale near Santa Fe, NM

They always treat us well. Garrett and Steve are the best! Best deals in Santa Fe!

I had to make a 5 1/2 hour drive recently and loved how smoothly my car drove, especially using cruise control with “eyesight” so it slowed when I was too close to the car in front of me. I couldn’t even feel it; I watched the speedometer. Love the safety features and extras like seat warmers and large sunroof.

The Forester is the first SUV I ever owned. It has had a few issues, but the dealership, Kenny Ross in Irwin Pa, has always been top notch in customer service. First issue was the orignal tires went bald after only 10,000 miles. I called Kenny Ross and they said they would contact corporate. Got 4 new tires at no charge. Next issue I did not even know I had. Took it in for an oil change and they tell me I need a new CVT. Didn't know I had a problem. No charge again. Last issue was a radio that kept giving an error message and would not work. Took four visits to isolate the problem, but now have a new radio that brings in more stations. Again for free. Highly recommend the bumper to bumper warranty. Money well spent.

I've never owned a Subaru before but after purchasing the Forester, I may never own anything but a Subaru again! I love the Eyesight Drivers Assistant that it came equipped with. I can see why this car has one of the best safety ratings out there. The interior is very open, spacious, & comfortable and the panoramic sunroof is amazing! It drives and handles like a dream. I would recommend this car to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

I recently had my car stolen and totaled. I actually work for the dealership and enjoy the work I do with the company. Mr krohn has been helping me out for the past month and a half with a car. It has been difficult but with the patience and time he has given my mom and I, I could not be more grateful for him! He worked with my mom and I till the very end and has been nothing but helpful. I ended up getting a 2019 subaru forester. Lots of room and a perfect vehicle into the middle of my adult life. I hope this car lasts me through the next few years. Thank you Mr Steve Krohn for your hard work and the kindness you have shown us.

Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.

We are new to the Albuquerque area, and, based on local recommendations for a dealer with good customer service, we decided to drive up to Santa Fe. Our 2017 Outback had a recall issue requiring a software update and needed 30k routine maintenance. The service department is open 9A-5P on Saturdays which is a nice change from New Orleans dealers where service closes much earlier. I scheduled the 30k service on the following Saturday but had to schedule the recall service at a later date because we needed a Saturday appointment and the backlog of customers needing Takata airbag replacement. This was not a problem as our recall was not as urgent. On arriving at the dealership we were greeted warmly. The dealership was spotless and had two comfortable waiting areas, one with a tv and one without. One of the staff made fresh dark roast coffee. We are New Orleans natives, no weak coffee for us! We chatted for some time with a salesman about Subarus in general, improvements made for the new model year, upcoming improvements, and explored the latest model, the Ascent. He was genuine, engaging and knowledgeable. He knew we purchased our current Outback less than a year before, so we were not buyers. The dealership itself gets high marks. As far as service, we received a detailed account of service performed and service required in the near future. We also received a nice surprise; they updated the software for the recall so no second appointment was required. Our Subaru has run flawlessly since the service so top marks for the service department. At our request, they obligingly removed the license plate frame from our previous dealer and replaced it with one of their own. We are happy to give them the advertisement. This is our fourth Subaru, and I highly recommend Santa Fe Subaru.

I bought my 2025 Subaru Forester the middle of August and two weeks later took it on a 1500 mile road trip. My only complaints are the funky steering (extremely sensitive) and the 11.6" Infotainment screen occasionally freezing. That's not a good thing when driving in traffic. I wished it was AWD versus continuous four wheel drive. Overall, I do like the Forester better than the CR-V I had before.

I’m always looking for double-pluses, and I think I found one with Honda Subaru of Santa Fe. The first plus is the sales and service departments, which are the best I’ve ever experienced, and in my 60 years I’ve bought many a car, so that’s saying something. In sales, our salesman most recently was Gregory Ryan, and he was the best car salesman, used or new, that I have ever done business with. Truly a pleasure, he was knowledgeable and conscientious throughout the process of buying a car, and made me feel like one of the family there. In the service department, I have worked repeatedly with Jason Marcinko, and he has always gone the extra mile to make sure the work on my car was done as quickly and inexpensively as possible, and that only quality parts were used. Thank you, Jason! The second plus is if you buy a Honda from them, you’re getting one of the best makes on the road, and since they’re a very well-run Honda dealership, they take good care of you, and of your car. I have bought both my cars, used Hondas, from them, and I’m very pleased. Even if I was thinking of buying a make other than Honda or Subaru, I would certainly go to Honda Subaru of Santa Fe first to see what they had available. The combination they have there of honest, professional, and just good people, is really special. If I did end up buying another make from them, I would definitely take it there to have it serviced.

I got the 2025 Subaru Forester Touring. I stayed with Subaru because I loved my 2017 Touring. I'm familiar with the layout. Hybrid was not available, but I heard the battery cuts into the cargo space.

I took my new Honda and for service after only a month and Jason Marcinko helped me and did a terrific job. It was a difficult repair but he kept me informed and advised about the work to be done in the cost of the work the whole way. I could not be happier with anyone else but Jason.

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

I would highly recommend to anyone. friendly and knowledgable staff that was accommodating, thanks to Jeremy Perez who went above and beyond to help.

Other than battery replacement , car has been amazing ! 1 exception cup holders are located too far aft and require driver to look down to locate cup without removing eyes from road ! This issue has been partially addressed in later years by offsetting passengers holder slightly forward of drivers, but still awkward position ! both should be more forward nearer to dash !

I highly recommend this business their customer service is top-tier I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service especially the gentleman that helped us “Angel” was phenomenal and met all of our needs! Thank you again AutoSavvy

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..

The sales team had courteous, knowledgeable and quick service. The selection of vehicles was great.

I’ve owned this car for about 18 months. It has I bought it new and it now has about 17,000 miles on it. I love driving it. The safety features are excellent! The performance is good. I’m getting around 32 MPG for all around driving. I have the car maintained at the dealership and haven’t had any mechanical issues. I would definitely recommend this car.

I recently purchased a car, and I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding service I received. If you’re in the market for a new or used car, I highly recommend working with Gary.

This is my third Subaru Forrester. I like the newer safety features and ease of handling. The size is perfect for me, not too small or too big! I would recommend if you’re looking for a midsize vehicle.

Devynn was awesome and persistent and followed through every step of the way from the very beginning and I was surprised how quickly we made a deal according to my request, I would like to thank devynn over and over again for the great and best customer service I have ever received and experienced. Sincerely.... Kenny v Luna.

Next to top rating in Consumer Reports. Lives up to its rating 100%. Only concerns thus far, after three weeks of use. 1) takes time to learn use of various electrical and mechanical controls -- after 20+plus years of VW Jetta ownership, "a lot is different." Just have to be patient learning all the new features. 2) Auto-safety features (staying in lanes, braking distance warning, etc.) are helpful to some less-attentive drivers but annoying to this long-experienced user. Fortunately, they can be turned off and stop the chirping.

I have a 2020 Forester with 19000 miles. I love it, especially as a tall and aging man. It it easy to drive, easy to get in and get out. Miles per gallon is great, typically well over 30 mpg in day to day city driving. I have noticed a number of complaints about batteries. I think in 2019-2020 they had a bad supplier of batteries. My experience was total battery failure at about 10000 miles. I had to purchase a replacement from AAA. Such stories were common during that period. I was irritated but received reimbursement even though it is not typical for a dealer/car company to do so. Smart dealers want to keep your business. The only other expenses were created by potholes knocking the car out of allignment and nails in parking lots puncturing the same tire twice! Sweep your xxxx parking lots retailers and restaurants.

I purchased the 2023 Wilderness trim in August and I chose it because I live in a very snowy and mountainous area. I certainly needed an upgrade from my trusty 2wd, low-clearance hatchback. I can watch the season change with more peace of mind with its high clearance, AWD and features like Starlink and X-mode ready to step in when called upon. I’m a huge fan of the vehicle’s exterior styling and the interior feels luxurious and durable. The cabin is well-insulated from engine and road noise. One drawback is that the sound system lacks depth even with the base turned all the way up (I don’t have the Harmon Kardon stereo option). I’ve never owned a car with a sunroof before and I love letting in extra daylight and looking up at the cliffs and trees during stops so I can’t imagine life without it, now. Even the low beam headlights provide clear-as-day visibility on the darkest nights, but I’d be worried about blinding other drivers so I’d give more follow distance. Many reviewers seem dissatisfied with its acceleration, but it hasn’t felt underpowered to me and I drive a Chevy Suburban for work. It feels like I’m barely touching the accelerator to cruise up steep grades, but I’m a leisurely driver so my expectations differ. :)
