I purchased my 2023 Forester a month ago today and it is amazing. It has plenty of power and is no way underpowered as mentioned in the Edmunds review. If you decide you need more power you can always put it in sport mode which for me is unnecessary. The gray leather interior is very nice looking and the instrumental panel is well laid out. There is a lot of tech with this model so I am still learning new things every day. The only negative thing I can thing I can think of at the moment is that to use Car play your phone must be connected to the port in the dash. It does not work with blue tooth. Also, just something I found kind of odd there is no gas cap/tank release in the car. If you need to put gas in the car you just press the center of the gas tank door and the lid pops open. Also, when the car is locked the gas tank door is locked. My original intention was to purchase the crystal white color but when I discovered that it was going to cost me about $1,200 more for white, I got the crimson red pearl instead it is very nice and I love it.

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.

This has got to be one of the best cars I have ever owned and I have owned Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, and Honda. comfort, affordability, and style. Granted I have only owned it for 2 weeks, but it has been an enjoyable two weeks.

This is my 3rd Subaru, I started with a Forester (Touring) and traded it in for an Outback (Wilderness) and while it was a great vehicle, it was more than I needed (i.e. that turbocharger got me in trouble) so I traded it in for another Forester. Went with the "Premium" trim because it has all the bells and whistles I need (I missed the Forester "growl") and it is surprisingly priced. If you are in the market for a solid vehicle that is still fun to drive with LOTS of leg room and plenty of get up and go, then I suggest you look long and hard at the Forester, particularly the Premium level, you will not be disappointed.
