Subaru Forester for Sale in Troy, MI

No mechanical or electrical problems so far. Fuel economy 22-28 mpg at highway speeds, 300 miles for sure on a tank of gas. Wet road and snow traction is excellent with General Altimax Arctic or Hankook Ipike tires. Switched to Subaru 16? steel wheels, 16x6.5, these are spare tire wheels for year 2012 or older. Good low speed acceleration, acceptable highway passing power. Steering wheel adjusts up/down and in/out which is helpful. Good brakes. Good visibility from inside to outside. Nice heavy duty floor mats, much better than aftermarket. For first 11,000 miles, switched to 5w-30 conventional oil with oil changes every 3k miles. I saved the oil and filter and reinstalled in the car after 11,000 miles. At this point switched back to 0w-20 full synthetic oil. Current oil consumption is less than 1 quart between 6000+ mile oil changes. Fine print in manual said 5w-30 was ok. Interior heater / defroster when below freezing best to let the car warm up for at least 10 minutes so windshield can defrost. Seat covers stain easy, clean-up water stains them too. Delay of vehicle movement shifting from forward to reverse or back, have to plan for this lag time.

The Forester is exactly what we were looking for. Reasonably priced, very comfortable, efficient for its size, smooth driving, excellent performing. Upright seating fits a wide range of sizes and is great for tall drivers. Excellent rear seat space. Very, very, good cargo space access. The interior is well laid out. Controls are easy to reach and easy to understand. One more thing, the climate control system is fully up to handling Phoenix summer weather.

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).

This car provides one of the best safety feature, eyesight. Driving with it always provides me with the most confidence. The AWD comes with standard configuration of this car also make your icy driving safer.

I have a 2015 2.5i base. I fell in love with a Cadillac XT5 at a car show, and test drove one and a Lexus but could not bring myself to give up the Subie. While I would like more power, I like the MPG. Therefore when a more powerful engine is more important I will drive my Taurus SHO and get 20 MPG. I love the visibility in the Forester, one of the prime reasons my next vehicle will be another Forester. I very much like the visibility. For people who complain about the seats, I'm not sure what's wrong; I have a bad back and they're fine. If you test drive one and don't like the seats, don't buy it and then complain. Also for people who complain about the stiff ride, it's an SUV with AWD so not sure what they expect. Buy something with a suspension for a soft ride. I feel like the Forester is very sure footed, I'm comfortable on long trips and very happy with it. Mileage is great for AWD, I've gotten as much as 37MPG (albeit when stuck behind someone going a lot slower than I want). The sound system isn't the best, but it's upgradeable if that's important and you want to pay for it. Cons: uninspired styling (but then again exciting looks don't make it go faster), no guts (but I knew that going in), and underwhelming audio. Pros: good MPG, great safety features and outstanding visibility.

So far, I am very happy with my Forester. Plenty of power, enough space, fun to drive. It's not the most sportiest looking compact SUV, but still it is very decent looking.

This car has great gas mileage, and handles really well. We have taken it on camping trips up into the mountains, and had to problems with packing in all our camping gear. It has been a dream car for both in town, and on vacation trips.

I traded an older Forester for a newer Touring. This was the 3 rd subaru I’ve owned and I will never buy another brand. The quality, safety options, visibility, turning radius far succeeds any other cars I have owned

This car is most likely the best car I have ever had. It is roomy and easy for us to get in and out of the back up camera works great and it has all the power it needs from the boxer motor there is room for a lot of hauling with the fold down rear seats we love it

We are extremely satisfied with this car. It is a used vehicle but has a Suburu Certification of quality. Drives like a dream, great power, tight turn radius, beautiful. Has all the bells and whistles I wanted.

I love this car! I've wanted a Subaru for a while now. It's comfortable, really nice to drive- great experience with Jim Norton Toyota!! Brad Minser, BEST SALESMAN EVER!! Financing people... it was great!

This was a pre-owned vehicle used lightly as a loaner. It looks, runs and even smells like new. And we paid a great price, no BS

Durable , reliable, a joy to drive, excellent gas mileage, panoramic sunroof, excellent in mud and snow. This vehicle is a true value , It has a premium stereo system

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.

We’ve own a 2003 and 2013 Foresters and both of them had extensive wheel bearing problems at around 40-60,000 miles, costing $1500 ea. Came to learn from a Subaru auto mechanic that Subarus have a design problem with bearing seals. We will not ownanother one in the future.

Excellent car for safety and performance. A repeat buyer. Subaru has added latest safety features like Blind Spot Monitor, RAB, Land Departure warning and Excelent Sound System.

This car met our family needs. Gas mileage is very good for commuting and very supportive for passenger comfort. Wide doors for easy entry for physically impaired passengers, and loads of leg room. Although better than most, the thickness of the descending support for the right arm rest puts uncomfortable pressure on lateral knee bone. Must adjust seat to partially avoid.

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.

Our Subaru saved our lives tonight! Those airbags deployed beautifully when that idiot tried to beat the red light, speeding straight toward us and totaled our car, head on! We walked away after we were cut out of all the protective airbags! Oh my God, thank you EMTs and Subaru! I opened my eyes, hands shaking to feel like I was in a cocoon! Truth!

We moved to Oregon from a much warmer and dryer climate two years ago. After two snowy winters we decided we needed a vehicle to handle the wet and snow of Portland in the winter plus my occasional commute to Seattle for work. After observing the locals driving an abundance of Subarus gave one a try. It is the best wet weather car I have ever had, and I've had a passle of Volvos, the AWD coupled to the CVT are a well balanced combination. I have not been a fan of CVT's in the past, but Subaru has balanced the boxer torque curve well with the CVT, it doesn't "hunt" on power or grade changes like others of this ilk do. Some say the normally aspirated 2.5L boxer four is under powered but I found it just right for what I need. This is not a sports car, it is an SUV in every sense of the word. On my commute I consistently get 32mpg at the 70mph speed limit on the I-5 between Portland and Seattle. Around town in traffic I see 21mpg which is great for a vehicle with this much utility. My passengers are impressed with the leg and head room in the back seat. At stoplights it is not uncommon to see three other Subarus here, it is truly the National Car of Oregon.
