Car is fine the adaptive cruise is great. Problem is the seats are not comfortable at all. My car has 500$ miles on it and both drivers and passengers seats are already breaking down. I am big 220 lbs. But my wife is only 140 lbs and her seat is already breaking down.

I have been driving this new car only 2 weeks. I really like that it has less bells and whistles than the fancier models. It has great visibility and many safety features. It is very roomy and good head height for my tall husband.

We did a lot of online shopping and talking with friends and coworkers before making the decision but have not found a single thing to complain about since we picked up our new Baby! More head room and leg room than we were expecting and once you get used to them - the navigational aids are amazing!

When you make the same engine and transmission year after year you refine your craft and get this amazing vehicle. Subaru has struck gold with this, don’t know why they are redesigning with the 2025. If I could buy this car new the rest of my life, I would. My third Subaru forester, will likely drive this also till it’s a pile of dust, then will buy another forester. FOV is insane, I’ve gotten so spoiled with it o can’t drive anything else. Tops every other car in creature comfort. I’m well over 6 foot and it’s not a squeeze by any means. Amazing vehicle. Go buy it.

So far, after 9 months, this car has been great.

For a 4 wheel drive vehicle, it handles well on the road. The larger engine has more pep without sacrificing mpg and the gas tank is larger than most small suvs. The bells and whistles are fun once I learned them. I love the premium stereo and leather interior. My only complaint is the lack of a CD player.

Grab a '24 Before They're Gone, Excellent SUV

Just bought a gray '24 Forester Premium. It's a smooth ride, comfortable, quiet, and classy. Not to mention it has the best AWD in the industry. It's also still built in Japan. Hard to imagine the next generation Forester will surpass this current gen for quality and practicality. Go buy one while you can, you won't regret it !

So far the SUV is great. The ride is comfortable and the heated seats are nice with the colder weather. There are a lot of features that we haven't sorted out but I think th journey will be pleasant.

from ford escape se to 2024 forester touring

not yet delivered probably near end of January hopefully, but this will be my last new vehicle i buy, traded in my 2017 ford escape se, i have been looking around and researching online for over 6 months took numerous suvs for test drives and finally made the plunge, and ordered the 2024 forester touring after taking countless suvs for test drives i simply found the forester the most comfortable driving vehicle, and after 3 test drives i made up my mind, this was the one for sure, so here's hoping i made the right choice after all these months of test driving and looking around, but i truly love the design and comfort of this suv and ride is not even comparable to my escape to say the least ,just a good looking and riding suv all around would fully recommend if your looking, take a look and test drive the 2024 subaru forester, i was quite amazed with handling capabilities of this suv and ride quality and inside comfort of the seats is great.
