This is our 6th Subaru, and so far best one yet, powerful, good looking, EyeSight is really great better then anybody else so far, stock tires not so good, took them of at the dealer and put Michelin Premier AS just to be safe, stock one sold on craigslist, we've got all possible options on it, and we really love it, brown interior looks great, really fun to drive, definatly recommend to any one who is looking for Subaru, visibility are tremendous too.

In 5'11". The gauge are is tilted downward and the dash cover area is such I can't see the guages. Only with Sun at my back are they readable. They in a shadow in day and angled for night. My 5 foot wife has no problem could there be am adjustment?

I love the Subaru Forrester! Just a few things I would change. There's some hesitation sometimes while driving and/or starting which we have had checked but they can't fine anything. Also the dash lights are not the best, the red is kind of hard to see and the little middle window with the mileage looks like it's from 1980 but everything else is fine. The back seat backs are fixed at an angle that is somewhat uncomfortable but since we don't have riders that much it is fine, however if I did have passengers back there I might choose another vehicle. Back up camera isn't the greatest at night but I suppose it's as good as most. Overall this car/suv gets great mileage is easy to drive and very roomy.

It's a great car! There are a few things ... It never ever gets 32 mpg. It gets 24 in town and on the interstate. 24 mpg on the interstate even when the car is not loaded down. I feel like I was lied to. I had a 1999 camery. I miss not having the few seconds after the car has been shut off to roll up the windows. I miss the heat/ cool air blowing direct on my feet. The battery went bad 6 months after getting the car. This was disappointing. It was replaced for free but still took time of having to get the battery jumped twice and taking it to Subaru. The subaru shop is wonderful!

Our 2017 Forester has been outstanding and we live in an area of steep roads often covered with ice and snow. Symmetrical all-wheel drive coupled with the boxer engine is the safest way to engineer a vehicle and no other manufacturer except Porsche can match it. That said, we were recently very disappointed to learn about the oppressive labor practices that go into building the Forester in Subaru's Japanese plants. Migrant labor, sub-standard wages, 12-hour days...not pretty. Do your own research but don't get too carried away with their "Subaru Love" ad campaign because the company sounds pretty ruthless in how they treat some factory workers.
