Solid. Responsive. Safe.

SubaruNewbie, 03/07/2025
2025 Subaru Forester Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
My first Subaru. In dealership, a lady showed us pics of the Forester she was replacing. Her daughter had been in a head-on collision. Inside you could not tell it had been in any accident, while the front end was unidentifiable -just bits of metal. Daughter was untouched. I wanted something smaller and safer than my minivan. I'd call my Forester a compact suburban SUV I can take out … fishing -but probably not tow a large boat. LIKES: Front windshield and door posts don't block view. For short people, screen and instrument panel do not block view of front of car (like a Mazda CX-5/50). First test drive I felt sensors by rearview mirror were in the way. Then I realized they would only block my view if I was watching a bird or plane while driving. So not an issue. ENTRY: Very easy to get in and out. Doors open wide and car is higher than a sedan so you slide right in. RIDE: Smooth for an SUV. It doesn't float, but let's be fair; it's not a Cadillac boat. STEERING: Responsive and sporty. You feel in control. Turn wheel a smidge, and car will turn. Fantastic turning radius. Try it. QUIET: Haven't driven in a windstorm, but so far it's quiet on both the freeway and streets. I don't have to yell to have a conversation driving on freeway. You do of course hear the engine growl when entering freeway, but it's not a roar like our minivan or truck. When parked, it takes effort to hear it running. We've almost forgotten to shut it off because we assumed we already had, it's that quiet. POWER: It's not a racecar. More than enough power to get on the freeway. You won't be holding anybody up -you will be held up by small cars in front of you. Yes, really. I wouldn't try a tight pass, but a thoughtful one is no problem. ROOMY: This car concentrates on passenger space over cargo. Plenty of cargo room for a Costco run. 6'2" son can sit in back seat very comfortably. This is a COMPACT SUV, so if you're a big-time camper you already know you need something else. SAFETY: Blind-spot and back up warning is a must. Auto-dimming rear and heated side mirrors (options) are fantastic. Auto headlights are a treat. Great nighttime vision, but I do wonder if I'm one of those annoyingly bright headlight people? They are LED and take some getting used to. Take a test drive at night if you can. BOONS: Garage door opener in rear view mirror (option). Liftgate automation a nice thing, but not really needed. The manual lift one was very easy. Heated seats (if yours don't heat within 2 minutes, something is wrong). Auto seat adjust driver side, passenger is manual. I prefer manual and wish that was an option. All weather mats: A must if you have pets, pine needles, mud, dirt, etc. DISAPPOINTMENTS: First tank of gas, mileage is 21 in mostly city driving. And I'm no lead foot aggressor. Blind-spot, heated/dimming mirrors, remote start, and bumper guard should be standard. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: I despise you have to negotiate a fair and decent price on their extended warranty. This practice drags the Subaru brand way down in my book. Get it together, Subaru! You're better than this. Overall very happy and feel safe in my Forester. The only sour note about buying this car has been trying to get Subaru's Gold Warranty without feeling ripped off.
