Great vehicle. Had a forester for 19 years. Absolute best vehicle I ever had. It had one (1) repair that totaled $340. Been driving this for a while now, no complaints!

I bought this car new in 2018. It has been a good car and hasn’t given me any major issues. There are a few minor issues tho. The paint chips very easily, so you have to use touch up paint on it from time to time. Also the driver side seat could be more comfortable. Everything else about the car is great.

The good: Comfortable, good on gas, great in bad weather. Fit and finish are excellent. The bad: Defrosters are terrible. Nav unit died at abt 20k (subaru replaced). Both front hubs needed replacement around 75k. When parking, the car randomly does not unlock the doors.

Good handling especially on sharp curves, reliable and safe car for all seasons, tested and tried to be both effective and efficient during the winter season.
Not worth the price

The car is ok but I've had so many little technical errors and I've only had it for 2 years. The switch to move the seat only sometimes works. The touch screen ghost pushes buttons and I'm told to fix it costs thousands of dollars and the most annoying part, there is no off button, all I can do is turn the volume down. My tire gauge sensor is glitchy and again the annoying part is I can't adjust my display settings until I "fix it" (which they have done multiple times). If the battery dies prepare to tow the whole car cuz it will lock itself down or you'll have to call a lock smith just to pop the hood to charge it. If you lose your key fob the car alarm will go off EVERY TIME you unlock the car with the key until you drop $300 on a new key fob. To open the trunk you have to turn the car completely off. If the car dies while the trunk is open, once you get it going again the alarm will go off continuously and the only fix is to drive to Subaru dealership (with the alarm blaring the entire time) and get them to reset it. Subaru has designed this car so you HAVE to take it to them to fix every tiny little thing. For how much I paid for this car I should not have to pay as much as I have to maintain it. Also note that the radio display does well working with apple phones but if you have a Droid or Google phone good luck getting it to integrate.

Update: I've had this a little over 4 years and I still love it. The only issue I have is with the dashboard button to lift the rear door. Occasionally I can only open it by getting out of the car and using the open grip on the door. The only goody it doesn't have is automatic windshield wipers. I wish it had them. ~ My previous vehicle was 18 years old. There was a learning curve with all the new technology in this car. Once I figured out all the technicalities, I wonder how I did without them. The gas mileage is awesome.

Love this in the snow. Outstanding in NH winters. Wish mileage was better though not bad for its size. Zero to sixty could be better.
