Used 2011 Subaru Forester Consumer Reviews
Keeping the sub in the famil
Still running good with only one minor fault. The tire pressure light stays on even though the sensors in all the tires have been replaced. Evidently it’s in the board but not really worth fixing. We’ve recently upgraded to a new car but are giving this one to a family member.

A Great Performance Bargain
The Subaru Forester has been a fantastic car. This car is very quick and can do a 0-60 sprint in just 7.5 seconds. The steering is very responsive, well waited, and stays absolutely flat during cornering. There is no need to get a reversing camera with this car because its got excellent visibility. If you decide to go with the Turbo you have an extreme need for speed, because the non-turbo is faster than most 6 cylinders. This car is a on road performer but does not disappoint in snow or ice. This car might not be the best cargo carrier, but if your looking for a wagon that's really fast and performance oriented there is no other car that will do it better.

Pleased but with soem reservations...
Our main issue with our new Forester is the distinct side to side sway (floating) we see on the highway. It isn't so noticeable at lower speeds and/or winding roads. Has anyone else observed/felt this problem? I have read of sway bar and sway bar link issues in Outbacks. I wonder if there are any with the Forester. Also, I agree with the one reviewer about seat comfort. We have the heated leather seats with the lumber support and multi position driver seat adjustment but I find that after driving for any length of time my right hip and back are quite sore. I don't have any problem when sitting in the passenger seat. Also, placement of passenger assist handle above the door is odd.
Subaru lives up to its reputation!
The Forester is a great car, combining comfort, safety, utility, in a winning SUV.

I love my Subaru Forester
This is my second Forester, and I am hoping to buy a third soon. I have loved owning Foresters.
