Excellent Car!

The 2021 Forester easily meets our needs and is exceeding expectations. We were looking for a smaller SUV, but with plenty of leg room and decent storage. This car clearly delivers! Also, the safety features and upgraded features that are part of the Touring trim have been a nice add.

My Second wonderful Subaru Forester.

Versatile, safe, good driving, comfortable, great quality and workmanship. Great car at a fair price. We liked our first Forester so much we had to trade for another.

I'm vey impressed so far

The car is well engineered and well thought out. Too many wonderful features to describe here. I would recommend test driving one, and seriously considering purchasing it.

Subaru Upgraded Sport

This 'non-luxury' car is way easier to drive than the luxury cars I test drove. The car stops itself going forward and reverse, stays in its lane at speeds above 30 on cruise control, and matches the speed of the car infront of you. I have never heard better stock sound coming out a new vehicle before; it blows HD Radio out of the water. The ONLY negative is that you need to have the radio on or sun roof open because the engine is loud when accelerating.

My 2nd Subaru

The Forester Limited with all options is a great car from bumper to bumper. No wonder it is the best selling model in the Subaru lineup.

Best car that I have owned

This car meets all my needs. I used to own a low car and I recently bought a SUV. At first I was very intimidated to drive a SUV but this car is absolutely amazing. The settings of this car is incredible. It's not to big but not to small. The car is very spacious.
