We love our Suburu . Drives great. The hatch back clearance is a little low for tall people. I have hit my head several times. The other minor issue are the consul cup holders. Not easily accessible when driving .

I just returned from a 2,500 mile trip to and from Yellowstone. The Forester (which I bought new in 2021) never missed a beat and enabled 400-mile stints at the wheel without causing any soreness or fatigue. The seats in the Sport may seem a bit firm, but they allow you to relax while holding you in place. The lane-keeping feature takes some getting used to, but it allows a very light grip on the wheel without maniacal concentration. There's nothing worth complaining about, but there are three weaknesses from my point of view. 1. Power is barely adequate (but I knew that going in). 2. Wind noise is noticeable. 3. Road noise is loud, due to the large wheels and stiff tires on the Sport (but handling and steering are precise). After 40k miles, the original tires and brake pads still have considerable life left. I'll probably keep my Forester for some time to come, but I can recommend buying one as a used car.

The vertical comes loaded with safety options . Forester rides and handles better then a lot other SUV i test drive also the most comfortable in its class with stranded AWD it could use a turbo and a quieter ride but over all its the best SUV to purchase in 2021.
