2012 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

I sure enjoy the peace of mind that comes from driving a Subaru! Safe, reliable and love the extras like heated seats and sunroof!

Just bought this car used to replace my `04 Honda Civic that transmission went out. I had liked Subaru?s for awhile now but had looked at cross treks and outbacks. For whatever reason I never thought of looking at foresters. My friend bought one a year ago and recommended I look into them and I?m so glad I did! The car handles wonderfully, the large windows mean almost no blindspots, backup can and leather heated seats are a great perk! Already been driven in the snow and I feel much safer now. Design could be more sporty but the interior is wonderful.

I had the 2.5x which is the base model forester, and the 4 cylinder engine was very lacking. I bought an AWD vehicle as I thought it would help in the winter with my commute to town, but it would get stuck in the smallest amount of snow. I did like the interior and found the seats very comfortable.

Enjoy driving and being able to load her up for market days and long drives to visit family and friends. Dependable without having to worry about anything but standard maintenance. I drive with confidence & recommend if you like driving without destroying our planet! Easy access for me and dogs. Will not be without a Subaru ever again. Smile & drive.

Fantastic, just completed 3500 mile trip, it was a pleasure to drive. Far above my expectations. Fun

This car is good at everything. It drives nicely, powerful enough, simple and sound interior and not afraid to drive anywhere. You can use every inch of ample space for camping or bikes or kids or dogs. The list can go on forever! They are capable off road vehicles as you can research in the blogs...

This car is extremely reliable! It gets me wherever I need to be, especially during New England winter driving conditions! I love driving it!

This car holds the road beautifully, rain, shine, ice snow. Donner Pasd in winter is no problem at all.

The Forester has remained a good and reliable friend for five years and shows no signs of letting up up on dependability and comfort. I love the sun roof on summer days and and the quick heat and defrosting in the winter. This is my third Subaru and the best.

Smooth drive, efficient, comfortable, and roomy. Took it for a 12hr road trip right after we bought it and couldn't be happier.
