Everything was great until I pressed on the accelerator. After test driving some hybrids, this was slow going. I want a bit more pep

Great vehicle

Love this vehicle. It is very roomy inside compared to similar style cars. I have a 6’5” son who has plenty of space in the front or back seats. Has a good-sized storage area and seats fold down flat. Drives well, and the visibility is excellent. Only downsides are I wish there was more storage space for the driver’s seat area (bigger console & phone area), and I would completely get rid of the extremely annoying auto-start/shut-off “gas saver” thing. I’ve saved $2 (yes, just two single dollars) in gas in my first 10,000 miles and have to constantly deal with the car shutting down and restarting on me. But everything else about the car is great.

Price goes up fast due to inflation and inventory 2024 are short. I bought Forester Limited in June 2024 when new cars 2025 came in with increases $1800 more. Like all Limited comes with option and this only last car wait for me at the dealership. So far it drive smooth with eyesight is helpful for driving assist.

I just leased the base model of the 2024 Subaru Forester and so far I am very impressed. It handles great and is very comfortable. Thank you Subaru for making me feel safe while I enjoy my new small SUV.

Solid value and the safest car in its class to boot. Quiet and secure ride. If you ride hard, don't get it, it could use anther 30 horsepower.

Reviewed all the competitors and decided to get the 2024. The Forester drives well and exceeds Edmund’s review. The 2.5 is not slow by any means. Gets better than 27 mpg between street and highway. Did a 2,000 mile round trip to Colorado and it handled the highways and steep climbs very well. Wind noise which Edmunds did not mention is very noticeable above mph. The leather seats are too firm and cause discomfort. Only a few suvs in this price range that I reviewed with 8 way power seats for passenger side. Excellent safety features. Waiting to test this beast in Colorado snow. I would prefer electronic folding mirrors and softer seats. Otherwise I am very happy with the 2024 Forester.
