I think I did a fair amount of research before buying. And I actually physically looked at the competition in the category. No Buyers remorse here! The Forester feels so much bigger than all the rest with a more open cabin feel instead of “cock-pit” feel. The back seat is super roomy with loads of leg room even with the front seats fully in the back position and is positioned so that you have a full view thru the windows since the seat is set higher. With wider doors on both the front and back, entry into the vehicle is much easier. And the finish details on our Touring model far outstripped others. It has a more elegant feel and is real leather compared to synthetic materials. Packed with technology and great stability it has been a delight to drive.

My first Subaru. I bought the 2023 Forester Touring model. There are remarks about the acceleration being lackluster but I find nothing wrong with it and I’ve been driving a big engine truck. Gas mileage is very good. It is extremely comfortable and a pleasure to drive!

Ordered my 2023 Forester Premium from the factory , on 3/22/2023 and it was delivered on 5/22/2023. I custom ordered the way I wanted it, color, packages and accessories. Every review I read has the engine underpowered. Not true, it pulls mountains with no effort, you can go as fast as you wish. The engine runs at 1,500 RPM @ 60 MPH and gets 35.6 MPG. Love the styling inside and outside, and all the safety features that come standard.

2023 Subaru Forester Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

Needed a car and have done my usual extensive research. Dropped EV as none fit my requirements of having a spacious cargo, comfortable ride, luxurious ride, not too big or too small a vehicle, super safe with all the safety bells and whistles and super reliable. And must fit my budget. Very basic requirements, you say, eh. what do you know. 2023 Forester Limited fit all of those criteria perfectly well. As for gas mileage, I am seeing sometimes 36 or 37 on highways and 26 to 27 local driving. Pretty darn good. As for performance, suffice to say I didn't buy this to participate in a race. Forester is a very well optimized car. BTW, I also looked into CR-V, RAV4, CX-50 but overall Forester won.
