Just get it!! The Outback is wider and longer Forester is higher inside. Drives great and all wheel drive hugs the road. I got the upgraded Navigation with larger screen and upgraded stereo system. I love it!

We keep finding "extras" on this SUV 2020 Forester that we didn't even know it had. Yet they all come with the trim package chosen. We are shocked and surprised how much cars/trucks have changed over the years. What used ro be offered as an extra is now included wiith in a trim package that iisnt overaly expdensive. The 2020 Subaru Forester has plenty of cargo space, then even more if you fold down the second row of seats. The instrument panel is phonaminal . My husband loves finding where all the different "Bells and Whistles" are. The HomeScreen allows you to choose from so many apps and some are already loaded on there for you. The side mirrors are easily adjustable and several drivers can get in and their preferences are remembered as far as the seat adjustment, mirrors etc. The key Fob is easy to use without looking at it and just feeling for what you need to depress to get in and out of the SUV after just a couple times of using it. After having a car for a long time its so nice to have an SUV but a much nicer one that handles as it should and is a pleasure to drive. We are very happy with not only the Green Forester but our Whole Experience.

As a former Saturn owner, my Subaru Forester Sport is the first new car I've bought in many years - and I am 100% satisfied with it. Very solid, comfortable, drives and handles great, plenty of power and lots of technology that is surprisingly easy to use (and I'm a senior). The upgraded audio system is great and I love having wifi and connectivity in the car. I feel very safe and confident driving it. For the first time in many years, I look forward to driving!

Love our new Forester

We purchased a new Forester to replace our leased Crosstrek. We are planning to retire in a few years and intend to keep the car for a long time so we decided to spring for the top end Touring. So far we love it. Even though it's bigger than the Crosstrek it's still responsive and easy to drive, and gets good gas mileage. We love all the advanced features in the car like the adaptive cruise control and steerable headlights. Lots of room inside for passengers and cargo. It even has a heated steering wheel for those cold winter days. It's a great car.

Great car inside and out. Love the sporty looks and the inside is a great place to spend time. Supple ride and amazing safety systems. Very quiet at 75 as well as 25. Do yourself a favor and get the Harmon Kardon system - you won't be disappointed.
