Used 2015 Subaru Forester Consumer Reviews
A dispassionate assessment of the Subaru Forester
All in all a first rate trouble free automobile. Low cost routine maintenance and high gas mileage. Excellent acceleration despite mundane horsepower. Very good control in all weather conditions and on snow. Seats are comfortable and front seats are adjustable. Major issue is suspension system. It is not very forgiving on rough roads and tends to bounce occupants uncomfortably. Otherwise a wonderful car with few negatives. I would buy it again without hesitation.

My Subaru saved my life!
Was in a major accident- not our fault- air bags blew, frame bent.....we walked away without a scratch!

Great for older, larger,taller people
If you are larger try the leather seats as they are much more comfortable,both my wife and I are large than average and own this same vehicle and felt the difference in the comfort v.s the cloth seats. Also the nav option is a total waste of money as it is difficult to read and use I ended up using my old Garmin it's easier to read and use. Also if you can get the duel climate control as it is much stronger especially the air conditioner than the singular digital version that I have. My wife has the duel and it is so much better we use hers in the summer.

Rough ride, poor seats
Bought our Forester in Nov. of 15. Our biggest complaint is the very uncomfortable seats. They are very hard and lack any amount of comfort. Long trips are nearly impossible with this car. The electronics are very confusing and difficult to figure out. We have never been able to get the garage door to sync with the car and the phone to work hands free. It has been reliable and is easy to get in and out of. Visibility is pretty good.

Wife loves this car
When our 2001 Forester final wore out my wife said get me another red one. She feels safe and in control even in the heart of Minnesota winter. I did buy one with turbo and radar cruise control for me. Great decision still love the car.
