I have owned the Forester for 4 months and have covered 10,000KMs (6200 miles). Zero problems and does everything well in the "real world". Driving a Canadian Premier model (top trim). What's good? Unbeatable visibility in all driving situations Very good ride quality, even on poor pavement Tons of space for a small footprint Easy to understand and use features Relatively quiet Oversize sunroof Front wipers and rear wiper cover much more surface than their competitors Good build quality Huge 63L gas tank = long range cruising on the highway Needs improvement Fuel economy could be better. Currently averaging 8,2L/100 KMs (70% Highway/30% Urban) Not enough front storage room in the door pockets and centre console. Happy Camper!

All Around Great Ride

My wife and I are really enjoying our new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring. It has a quiet comfortable ride and we love having the 360 camera. We are a little disappointed with the fuel economy to date of about 33 mpg but still much better than the 2017 Legacy 3.6R we traded in for the Forester. In sum, we could not be happier with our choice to buy the Forester Hybrid Touring.

2025 Forester Sport Owner

The acceleration is lacking, but for a small SUV, the comfort and technology outweighs the speed. The look of the Metallic grey with the bronze accents and the sunroof are my favorite features of the 2025 Sport. The speaker sound system is top notch and did I mention how quiet the ride is? The interior is very easy to clean and looks sharp! It has a lot more cargo space than expected. Overall, I’m incredibly proud to drive my new Forester Sport and feel it stands out from the rest of the small SUV’s on the road.
