Perfect the dogs and me

I’ve had the Wilderness since April and I have to say I LOVE THIS VEHICLE. Drawbacks could be the engine, but I don’t press it for acceleration from a full stop. When I need to pass, I’ve had no trouble. But, if you’re looking for spirited acceleration, this isn’t your choice. But, the breaking and handling are great. Gas milage is pretty good on the hwy. But, I drive it mostly in the city, and keep the engine running often during the summer (because of the dogs and living in the desert). Of course the safety features are top notch. In addition to reliability, I purchased this vehicle because I have two dogs, and wanted to get some light off-roading in on weekends. For that it’s PERFECT. The seating material is exactly what I wanted/needed for the dogs. It wipes clean easy. I keep the back seats down and it holds a Big Barker XL mattress (great for two dogs 74 and 50 lbs) well with room for water bowl and other items. I’m impressed with the off-roading. No wilderness type areas, all desert with rocks and sand.

Feeling the Love

Traded in a 2013 Outback for a 2024 Forester. Love all the new safety features—especially EyeSight. It made a 7 hour drive on an interstate easier—less manual braking required. The Forester is very comfortable and held all the luggage and gear for 2 people on a 4-day lodge-to-lodge hike. Good gas mileage—30 mpg on the interstate.

Very smooth driving, exterior and interior is gorgeous! I ordered a Wlderness in Autumn Green and i love driving it! I had been thinking about buying a Subaru for a few years, and I'm so glad i took the plunge and bought the car of my dreams! I watched and read reviews, and they were all positive, and it helped me make my decision.
