Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Thornton, CO

Very nice location, great customer service and follow up. I'm still early in the buying process and haven't been pressured, just following up consistently.

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.

I didn't know where to get my car serviced when I moved to Boulder, so went to the dealership. Seven years later, I still take my car there. Flatirons Subaru's service department is courteous, reliable, honest, and treats female customers with the respect and integrity we wish we got everywhere. They have always stood behind their work, and on the rare occasion when something did not go as it should, they always made it right, including providing a loaner car. Service Manager Mathias is far and away the best service manager I've ever met anywhere. He has a rare gift for explaining mechanics in a way that customers can fully understand. And I've seen this service department improve and stabilize at a higher level since he took the helm. I love that there are more women working in this service dept also, and that this garage is free of the caveman mentality so prevalent in auto repair shops. The environment is pleasant to wait in, with free wifi and goodies if you so desire, and their service shuttle is terrific. The level of professionalism, respect, and even kindness I have experienced dealing with all the staff at Flatirons has been excellent.

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 lost power to my steering wheel on my way home. I went to Subaru at Flat Irons where the girls at the repair counter were sympathetic and started gathering my information and working on a loaner for me. Mathias Horchreder came over and asked me what had happened. I explained the loss of steering and he went back and talked with Matt Moore. Matt came out and asked if he could take a quick look. He came back in and explained it was the belt and needed replacement. Matt offered to stay and replace the belt “if I didn’t mind waiting” or they could get the loaner for me. Mathias said “whatever is easiest for you, Matt is good and can probably have this done in half an hour or we have a loaner if your in a hurry. “ This has been the best experience at a repair shop. I have an 09 Subaru Legacy and have had my car in to various shops. Three of them I will never go back to. Thank you so much Mathias and Matt for helping me!! Wonderful customer service!!

Full disclosure: My girlfriend owns it, but I drive it a lot. I find the 2017 Forester to be a pretty decent small SUV. I find it comfortable and fairly well-designed. I'm not a huge fan of CVTs but find it has enough pep when I need it. The dash is fairly well-organized and all critical controls are knobs and buttons rather than buried in the touch screen like some cars. A few things could be slightly better organized but these are minor details. The Subaru infotainment system is pretty lacking and the touch screen is buggy sometimes. They're behind the curve on this. But overall it's a decent car even if I'd like it more with a 6 speed manual.

Like most I was very skeptical about buying a car online. But I did my research and google'd the company like crazy. What I found in my research is the company had laid off people due to rapid growth and during this time frame the reviews were not good at all. Which to me makes sense and most likely vroom could have done a better job to make sure customers did not feel the effects. But after that period the reviews were really good. Also they have a very high rating with the BBB. That all said I decided to purchase my Jeep Wrangler through Vroom. The entire process from start to finish was awesome! I did not do a trade but just a purchase. I submitted my request for finance and purchase on 7/29 Sunday morning and received a call 7/30 Monday morning. I spoke to the sales person which there was no pressure just Q&A. I put down a deposit so I could secure the Jeep. There was communication via email by Vroom throughout the process including when the Jeep was in route. My jeep was delivered within the time frame they explained, which was the following Friday 8/10 cleaned and in excellent condition. I received my tag and paperwork about a month after the Jeep was delivered. I have 3 kids so spending 4 hours at a dealership is not fun. I would definitely buy from Vroom again. I hope this review helps others who might be on the fence. (Atlanta, GA)

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.

Car buying online can NOT be this easy anywhere else. Submitted credit app, followed up on the app on Monday 6/11/18, got approved, received contracts on Wednesday 6/13/18, returned them back at a FedEx drop-off box, Vroom recevied them on Thursday 6/14/18, paid my deposit as well, Vroom Rep called me on Friday 6/15/18 and said my car had been moved to the shipping department to be inspected and prepared for shipment. On Monday 6/18/18, I received an email saying that estimated delivery day would be 6/20/18. At this point I'm over the top anxious and super excited for 6/20/18. On 6/20/18 evening, around 5:50 p.m., Vroom Rep calls and tells me that the delivery guy won't make the delivery time scheduled for 6/20/18 so it'll be 6/21/18 when he delivers the car. I received my car on 6/21/18 at 6:00 p.m. at a Wal-Mart super center parking lot. I signed the bill of lading and received my keys. Oh, and there must had been miscommunication between the delivery guy and Vroom, because before he handed me my keys he asked who was going to pay him, and I told him my shipping fees and all were included in my financing. So he said they are probably just going to send him a check. Other than that; everything went extremely smooth. I did not run into any problems other than the day delayed delivery (which wasn't a big problem). I am completely satisfied. I received my paperwork and my car all in ONE week!!! ONE week!! It does not get any better or easier than that. The car is freaking awesome, l LOVE it!! It's just like brand new on the inside and almost on the outside, I take that back, it is pratically brand new on the outside with just minor scratches and paint chips. I love love love my car!!! I would highly recommend Vroom to family and friends and to anyone looking to purchase great vehicles at reasonable costs. In the future, I plan to purchase again from Vroom. Thanks Vroom!!

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.

We came to Boulder Toyota, again, as we have been Toyota owners since Christ was a corporal. We knew, from a little research on the very good website, that the type of car we wanted was in inventory. It was a little unusual, as the model was the result of a cooperative agreement between Subaru and Toyota to build a two-seat sports car. By an accident of scheduling, we had just test-driven the Subaru-badged version, the BRZ [I think that is the designation]. The Subaru version had two glaring disqualifications : the front seats felt as if they were simply a piece of plywood, and the clutch operated like a badly-adjusted VW Beetle clutch [which we once went through getting fixed]. Gary Hillman was our contact, made through the website, and what a stroke of good fortune THAT turned out to be ! We explained that we had a two-seat, manual transmission car in mind, and that one on the lot met that set of specifications. Gary offered a test-drive, and we asked about how far [in distance] we could go. Behind the question was a problem the City of Boulder had forced upon us : to make the sidewalk "ADA-compliant," in case someone in a wheel chair came down the walk, the sidewalk had to be jack-hammered out and re-poured to be flat. Since 2/8/1989, no such person had EVER ben observed. No matter, the City was in charge, we were told. The driveway apron now scraped the front air dam of the 2007 Prius we bought @ Boulder Toyota 10 years ago. We were worried about the ground clearance on the 860 Special Edition we were about to test drive. Gary said "give it a try, but go slowly and be prepared to back out if you hear contact." Amazing offer, when you think about it! WHAT A BLAST TO DRIVE ! We did back out of the driveway without actually entering it, as yes, courtesy of the City of Boulder, we heard the front air dam scrape. Did not matter that we could not get it into the driveway, and therefore into the garage. WE WANTED THIS CAR ! [We already had some solutions in mind, as our next-door neighbor to the West had "invented" one method to keep his small Audi wagon from scraping.] Long story, yes, but illustrative of why the dealership, and in this case, the consultant, are so good to customers. We went back, said "Let's do this," and bought the 860 Special Edition that very afternoon. Had not had such a fine experience since the now-retired Satch Desai helped us buy the 2007 Prius. After-sales service just as good: I could not find the key device for the wheel locks [one on each wheel in place of ordinary lug nuts]. Went back, found Gary Hillman. He came out, looked in the "trunk " and there it was. [I had never even seen one of these, so I did not realize what I had been looking at.] In summary and conclusion: go to Boulder Toyota to get a reliable car [Toyotas are famously reliable] and have an excellent encounter with a well-informed, friendly guy named Gary Hillman. You will NOT regret it !

The car has met all my needs even in the winter snow and ice no problem with it at any time the six months i have owned. The forest er

Greg worked with his sales manager to make a deal that was really amazing! My 2016 leased Impreza (Shortline) developed some electrical problems that promised to take a week or two to find & fix, so Greg was able to put me into a new 2018 Forester instead for just a few more dollars per month than I was paying on my Impreza. It was a "win/win" for both the dealership & for me - I got a larger, more powerful Subaru and the dealership got one very happy customer!

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.

Had a fabulous, positive experience with Jonny and Shortline Subaru! Jonny gave me all the time I needed and listened carefully to what I wanted. And most amazing, when I made a mistake and picked a car that I didn???t like after I drove it home, etc. they were completely supportive and worked with me to get a car I would really love. And now, 2 month later, I am 100% happy and satisfied with just about every aspect of the car. Overall, great experience!

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

After having been in sales my entire adult life, I recognize professionalism and always do my best to achowledge exceptional sales personnel when given the opportunity. This is certainly one of those opportunities. From the moment my wife Laurie and I walked through the door at Stevenson's Chevrolet until we walked out as the new proud owners of a 2019 Colorado, our experience could not have been better. Our sales rep Kevin Kramer was very friendly, professional, and exceptionally attentive to detail. He epitomizes professional salesmanship and has all of the qualities I always looked for when hiring staff in my 30 years of retail experience. The finance manager Jim was also very friendly, courteous and helpful. Overall, I would like to give Stevenson Chevrolet and their staff an A+ rating.

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 have given the highest rating to the categories that apply. Everyone was helpful, courteous, and really kind. The only shortcoming--which didn't affect much--was that Id asked t to have the tires that were taken off put into the back of my car (which John acknowledged I'd done) but they weren't. One tire would have been okay for an extra if I'd needed it. But. . .

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.

I just went in for a new key today, great fast service! I am old enough to remember service like this everywhere I have an older Jeep, when I can afford it guess where I am going to look? Thanks

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.

I have not been able to purchase yet as we have some saving to do, but the wonderful salesman Brian contacted me almost immediately and arranged that the vehicle I want was ready and available upon my arrival. Thank you again! ¿ Nicole Dumas Hopeful car shopper

Excellent performer in bad weather. Has a terrific ride & it is very comfortable on long trips & can swallows all your gear. This is my go to vehicle for road trips

Excellent customer service! 🏆 Rocky P. and the whole team are awesome. We found the car we wanted online and Rocky was quick to respond to our inquiry. No pressure, friendly and very accommodating (even after the purchase was complete). Plus they made sure the car was fully detailed before we took it home. Mo M. and the finance team made sure that I got the best loan possible! We will be coming back to Maximum when in the market for our next vehicle. 🚘 👍👍

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.

I had a car accident last weekend that was a total loss, so I was in the market for a new car. I made the drive from Colorado Springs to Groove Subaru due to the amount of positive reviews I read about this dealership. Joe Schlitter greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and helped me out without pushing anything on me. This is always a huge fear for me when buying a car, that I'll get pushed into something I'm not happy with. The car we were looking at ended up not being perfect for me, so Joe walked me back out to the lot without blinking an eye or making me feel badly about the time we had already spent. We found just the right match, exactly what I wanted. I really appreciate his personable demeanor and will be back to see Joe specifically the next time I'm in the market for a car!

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!

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.

I went in fairly early with my 16-year-old daughter to find her a new or lightly used car for her first vehicle. We were greeted early on by a young man named Joey and we described our situation and asked him to show my daughter some different options. I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee inside while he showed her some various options around the lot. I reconvened with them after about half an hour and took a look at the top options. Naturally there were a few that my daughter for whatever reason thought were in her price range that I instantly ruled out. Sorry kid, I love you a ton, but you can't be driving a car more expensive than your dads. We've whittled it down to three different options and will be returning this weekend with the wife/CFO to make the final decision. -Great facilities -Great selection -Great customer service I'll definitely be recommending this to our family friends, particularly as our kids are all about to be on the market for new wheels.

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.

Best car buying experience I have ever had - which is alot! Right from the beginning I felt at ease with Fonzi...he is honest with NO pressure and supplied me with all of the information I needed to make an informed decision. Oscar, the GM, was just as easy going and honest. And actually, everyone I saw or met - in the very short time I was there - that's right it was quick! And painless, and just eazy peezey. I guarantee my next car will be from Colo Auto Traders! Thanks all!

I really like this Forester. Larger than my 2007 Forester, more leg room in rear seat and more storage space. It is comfortable for long trips.

From start to finish, I can't say enough great things about the experience I had leasing my new Subaru Forester. Thanks to Keith Zaring, who shepherded my wife and me through the entire process and made everything as easy as it could be! And the car is WONDERFUL. Thanks again... you have a customer for LIFE.

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).

Excellent. Service Advisor attentive and informative. Repair on recall item completed in less than time indicated. Information useful from free 17 point inspection and customer requests followed.

I feel comfortable and safe in the car, great visibility. The car handles extremely well in the snow, probably improve even more when I get snow tires. I like the exterior styling and open visibility, all around.

When my trick wouldn't start they quickly found the issue and had a corrective action. The then found a coolant leak and a weak vacuum pump. They got the leak under warranty and worked with me on the vacuum pump. The truck is running great and stopping much better. I did not feel as if they were just looking for work that really did not need to be completed just to get more money.

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 !
