First time driving this car and I must say, everything about this car is amazing.. This car was built to last and kick butt. I wish I had one thing bad to say but hey, they really covered every inch of this car...

The "base" Forester is an amazing vehicle especially for the price. Has all the features you need and none that are "extra." Enjoy how it drives, the roominess, and every aspect of it.

Nice car, bad seating position

Traded our gas hog 2023 Ascent for a shiny, new Forester Sport. Initially loved the Forester but discovered that for trips over an hour long that the driver seat caused really bad back pain. No amount of adjusting would relieve it. We just traded for a 2025 Outback Limited after driving our son's and being pain free.

Terrible head lights low beam design

As an engineer for the last 35 years in automotive industry I worked in both processing and quality. I bought a Forester Limited for my wife, made in Japan, came after 2 months with only 5 miles on odometer. Within 2 minutes I noticed that the sunroof switch is bent, cannot open the sunroof, no big deal, it happens, even when made in Japan. It was fixed. After 3 weeks a TPMS failed, no big deal again. As my wife started driving in the morning when dark she mentioned about weird head lights low beam. The horizon line is scattered and underneath all kind od dark spots that bounce up and down when you brake and accelerates, all depending on how far or close the objects in the front of you are It is very distracting and dangerous. This is a flaw design, dealer cannot fix it ... and Subaru preaching about safety ...they should know better. Otherwise the car is comfortable, sits very well on road, quiet CVT, fast enough for 4 cylinders. If you consider buying a Subaru make sure you do mostly daylight driving 😅😅😅.
Remote Start is an app

Drivers have to have a smart phone app to be able to have remote start on a 2025 Forester. We have a second home where there is not wi-fi or cell service. There are still areas that do not have cell service due to terrain or being remote. So the Subaru monthly charge for Starlink is useless in this instance. Remote start should be on the key fob like most other manufacturers. Subaru has dropped the ball on this option by trying to force buyers in to the monthly charge service Starlink. Buyers should be aware of this fact.
