Subaru Forester

Excellent visibility and driveability. Good seating position and comfortable ride. Infotainment system is easy to use. Loads of standard Safety features. The lower profile tires do add a bit of road noise. Excellent value.

Big surprise for me. I had the Forester as a rental car for a week and kept it for 3 weeks I loved it so much. The drive is so comfortable and I felt very safe with the visibility. I am definitely buying one.

Almost perfect

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

I like the Subaru Forester. It’s a nice vehicle and I think it’s almost perfect. However, the eyesight doesn’t always work. Sometimes it’s the bad weather that disables the eyesight, and other times it doesn’t work for any reason at all. I also don’t like the gas mileage. My forester is averaging 22mpg after nine months of ownership. Overall the touring model is a near perfect vehicle that lacks wireless Apple CarPlay.

The all wheel drive on this car makes it drive like a dream. And the car is comfortable. There is plenty of cargo space when you lower the backseat. After driving this car for two years, I can say that I still love driving this car.
