Handed off my 2019 sport to my daughter with 106k miles and just took delivery of a 2023 sport two weeks and 1000 miles ago. I run these with pretty high annual mileage (~30k/year) for work. Lots of highway mileage. Great, stable, safe vehicle. Bigger wheels and brakes to make the ride smooth and braking sure. Interior is comfortable for my 6’4” 240# frame and all the space I need for luggage, golf clubs and work. Can’t say enough good things about the Subaru and Baxter Omaha buying experience. My 13 year old will get this in 100k when she gets her license and we’ll become a four Subaru family.

Finally Subaru has developed style to match its ruggedness and reliability . We love all the safety features and standard items on our Touring model. The interior is roomy and visibility is great. They’ve developed a car that is enjoyable and comfortable to drive. Only negative…I do not like the sound of the horn.

After nearly 10k miles, my new Subaru Forester Limited continues to impress. Its pickup and comfort are both surprising and it continues to perform exceptionally well in all conditions. I'm very pleased so far. I expect it will continue for many years.

Love the electronics - Face ID is convenient if 2 drivers with different heights plan to use it. Safety features are unmatched - the rear view radar is worth it if you want better odds to avoid a rear end collision. Seats in the back have lots of headroom, the moon roof is looong, and easy to see outside in general.
