Very satisfied with my first car!

Got a limited trim level, everything exceed my expectations. The only regret is that I should go for the touring trim level cuz it adds some detailed features that would enhance the driving experience more.

The new Hybrid Forester Sport model is beautiful, has higher wheels, a comfortable, quiet, smooth ride. The interior is gorgeous and the safety features are extremely helpful.

Ugly blue

I loved everything about the 2025 Forester. I want one. I loved the blue I saw in the show room, beautiful blue/grey, but it is only in the basic. Walk out to see the blue in the sport, what the hell, it is an ugly blue/purple. So I love all the features but don’t want to pay that price right now. So I wait. Maybe they will change the color.
