To be considered for the Dealer of the Year Awards a dealership must have:
  • Minimum of 25 reviews on DealerRater for the calendar year
  • Average minimum star rating of 4.0 on DealerRater, with 5.0 as the highest possible rating
  • At least one review on DealerRater per quarter during the calendar year

May 13, 2024
By Raven
Owns this car

I’m the 3rd owner of a 2012 Subaru Forester purchased at approx 175,000 miles and it still runs pretty good! It does burn oil up pretty quickly and mine has issues with reading the levels and won’t give me a warning light so i check the dip stick often. Mine did have exhaust issues and had to replace a rested out piping from the cat back, but mufflers were still good. Also the Oxygen sensor was a problem for awhile, which you can only use on brand for it to work properly. Gas mileage is decent for the size of the vehicle and its age. Only wish the front seats went back more bc my taller girlfriend who is 5’11 with long legs struggles to fit and be comfortable in the passenger seat.

Vehicle not reliable in cold weather.

Owns this car

Bought new in November 2011. Has used oil from the beginning. Always been serviced by the dealer we bought the vehicle from. 85,500+- miles. Now bumps in rear when weather is cold when changes first gear. Very hard thump. Then runs ok. We feel its just a matter of time for a major problem.
