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.

Air fuel sensor

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 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.

Perfect SUV for me

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!

Defies Expectations

Based on recommendations from family who own Subarus, we narrowed our search down to just a Mazda CX-5/50 and the Subaru. Edmunds was very helpful in terms of determining price range, recommended option packages, their reviews of the different cars we were considering initially and the likely trade in value of our former car. In the end, the test drives cinched the deal and made the Subaru the obvious choice for us.
