This vehicle is burning oil; avoid it according to the internet price being cheap based on its value. In addition to this, avoid these model years between 2009-2013.

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.

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.
