Love the design, interior cosmetics, and handling! Rides smooth and turns corners fairly good. Spacious interior and large windows. The additional wilderness features are a plus. Overall, makes you feel like you’re going on a wilderness adventure every time you hit the road!

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.

Reliability meets Functionality!

I’ve had my Forester Premium for almost a week and have been loving all the features! From safety features, like lane departure alerting and blind spot detection, to convenience feature, such as an easy to navigate central control panel and a million ways to adjust the seat to make it feel like a perfect fit, you really can’t go wrong!
