Used 2015 Subaru Forester Consumer Reviews
Could be happier
2015 Forester XT with Eyesight. Eyesight has some good features but could be better, slams on the brakes when a vehicle traveling in the same direction makes a right or a left turn, when gate arms rise up. The remote start only starts from 30 ft / 10 meters because it uses the same antenna in the car as the door opener and because this car has Eyesight.. not happy been a cold winter and I Live in Michigan, may as well not have it if I have to go outside to start it. body/hood is a bit flimsy. I liked my GL-10 better. Dident need or want a sun roof.
2015 basic Forester
I was told that the Forester was better for shorter people because of the high seat position, that's nonsense, I'm 6'5 and the extra headroom is fantastic, I have no leg room problems, I think this car is better for tall people. On the highway the car fells like its begging you to go faster, at 80mph you hit the accelerator and it booms forward, very solid at high speed. To leave my house I have to go up a horrific steep hill and with 10" of snow on it this winter the car in the L gear it went up as if the snow didn't exist, I watched other suv's struggle to do it, Honda's and Nissan's. The car can be noisy and it can be a little rocky but this is minor.

Great Car, But a Few Notable Complaints
We've had our 2015 Forested Limited for 8 months. Dislikes: Cheap (tiny) light in rear cargo compartment; cruise control can be adjusted up or down in 5 mph increments only (really hate this!); counter-intuitive nav system; driver-side power window is difficult to adjust to desired height. Finally, I've never been able to get 30 mph on a trip under any conditions, but this isn't a deal-breaker. Would I buy another Forrester: Probably, but I could be swayed toward a new Cherokee in a year or two. Just my two cents.
Money Pit
I purchased a 2015 Subaru Forester because I heard how the Subaru has a million mile club. I am a person who keeps my car for a very long time. In 2017 I purchased the 2015 Subaru. I have approximately 95k miles and the air conditioner compressor and the transmission need replaced. Over 5k of work needed on this vehicle. When I went to purchase my vehicle, they made fun of my 2009 Kia Rondo and wouldn’t give me anything on a trade in. I decided to keep the Rondo, it has 145k miles on it. I use it for my dog and some work transporting. So it is 2001 and guess what I am driving and guess what car is sitting in the driveway worthless? I expected so much more out if a Subaru.

Can't wait til the lease is up
MPG is a joke. We are averaging 13-15 mpg. Dealer says nothing is wrong with the car. My v8 4x4 extended cab silverado gets that kind of mileage. We are disgusted at this point. On the way to the dealer we averaged 13.5 miles per gallon. Glad to be rid of it. Subaru didn't want to do anything to help us and acted as if it was somehow our fault. Update. We traded it in on a honda I wish i had looked at them first. Three years with our Honda and we couldn't be happier.
