Bought my 4rd Subaru 3 months ago and fuel sensor failed. Subaru America says they have no replacement part since car is too new. Really?

I sit up high enough to see everything in this car and it gives me a feeling of being safe. All the bells and whistles are there to help me drive more safely. Fabulous, large information center and easy to use apps. Great ride and fun to drive.

I love our new 2025 forester sport river rock pearl. 400 miles and so far only positive experience. The visibility is great, I sit above almost all cars on a freeway. The driving is smooth and if I want it to be more agile there’s a sport mode. It has all modern features of a modern car with classic car design which I personally love. It’s a well built Japanese utility car for any purpose.

Pleasant Ride

2025 Subaru Forester Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

This our second Forester so I didn’t need a lot of information about it. Came close to buying a Crosstrek Limited but picked up this Forester Premium for about the same price. Let’s say I gave up on some features and leather seats for a quieter roomier and slightly more reliable car. In the two weeks of ownership. I find it comfortable and I like all the Easy link driver assist features. 11.6 screen and the menus are easy to learn and use.Drove a Rav4 recently on a vacation and I like the way this car drives more.

I love the look inside and out! The tech is great! Very intuitive! I have the Limited trim. Rides great and is much peppier than I expected. Very roomy and very comfortable front and back. Good sized cargo area! I couldn’t be happier!
