Overall quite satisfying. I get 30 mpg on mixed driving. Quick enough most of the time, lots of room also and safety features are most appreciated, especially blind spots. But recommended oil changes are needed a bit too often at 6000 miles, and would like to see better towing and a hybrid version. Would recommend overall.

My wife wanted to trade her 2019 Forester Premium for a new one, so we now have a 2022 grey Premium. She (and I) are very happy with the car. In our last one, settings (even time) were problematic, Directions were scarce. This one is the same way. However, we have had to take ours on several 1000 mile trips this past year, with a mixture of freeway and town driving. The car/SUV did very well. Cruising at 75 (on 75), the tach registers about 1800 rpm. Whatever the CVT is doing, it is doing it well. Mileage was consistently 35 mpg or better, with good cool air conditioning, quiet cabin, and great visibility! Power was always on-tap. And the vehicle is just the right size: room for luggage, spacious passenger compartment, but, again, great visibility. The flat engine results in a lower hood, so one can see right out front easily. During these trips, we had to park in municipal parking garages, and the Forester was small enough to fit right in limited space. Overall, I find the car easy to own, looks above average, and a great value.

The driver asst. is a pain. on sunny morning it shuts off so you can't use the cruise control. It just does strange things. Put gas in and it wouldn't run at full speed. Disconnected battery and worked fine. It's a good Cheap car.

Picked up a 2022 fully loaded Forester wilderness in geyser blue. Was anxious to get out of my 2022 Camry which I owned for about 6-8 months and had 10,000 miles. $40,000 is a lot of money for a compact SUV but I figured this is a niche model and version. Opted for 2.9 financing at 48 months. I go back and forth to work and I shuttle around my kids with a car seat. I really like the safety and technology features. I can feel the all-wheel drive and all season tires grip the road, especially during rain and colder weather . Overall, no regrets and having a good time with the vehicle. Wish it had more space but that's why I picked up a new 2023 Chevy suburban for the wife and family. * Update: Car interior does rattle, especially when the outside temperature drops. Maybe because of the boxer engine vibration and design. *Edit: Good value, good space, well equipped with standard safety and technology features. Paid MSRP. 2.9% APR is a plus. Good ground clearance. This is not a rugged off-road SUV. It can handle gravel and light duty trails but nothing too steep or rough. It's still a feather weight compared to a TRD Pro 4Runner or a Ram TRX. I still think it's a fair value for today's market and I'm sure most people wouldn't mind this vehicle at all because it has a universal fit and driveability for most. It would be nice if it came with a manual transmission but that may be a niche option. I like that its main option to add on is a $1,800 package which includes a few key features such as the upgraded audio, navigation, and power lift gate rear trunk door. Would be nice if it came with a stronger engine and drivetrain. Fair trade in value. Trying out the new redesigned WRX now, which is a different experience. * I put about 4k miles on this vehicle in over 3 months. Decided to trade in for new base WRX with 6 speed manual because I was getting bored with this Forester Wilderness. Received $35k trade in value and saved $2,000 off MSRP of new WRX without and dealer ads or market adjustment. I think dealers are selling new ones for around $37k - 38k with options, but I feel this is a $34-35k vehicle and Subaru has over-priced it by $2-3k, otherwise dealers need to discount it. 2.9 Apr is good but 1.9 would be ideal for 48 months financing. WRX has less space but is much more engaging and fun to drive. Makes commuting much more motivating. Turbocharged engine, sports car suspension tuning, and 6 speed manual make the WRX a blast to drive. Not many cars can compete with the real world performance, feel, and versatility of the new WRX. Redesign gets mixed feedback but I think Subaru is function over form. Maybe I can pick up a BRZ alongside later in the future, they did a great job on it as well.
