The Forester is a great car, solid, inspected and ideal for two people who are transporting a lot of things. I have driven other SUVs of the same size, but Subaru has its own signature. Thumbs up for comfort. Recommendation for drivers who know.

The car is very comfortable, with an excellent view, technologically advanced, safe and with a lot of space on the back seat and in the trunk. It is well controlled with many sensors and cameras. Design that will last.

Good car, consumption depending of drive style. Sometime wish faster acceleration ( 2.0 e boxer), than switch to sport drive, and it is all ok. Off road capability make me smiley. Comfortable, first time can make 500km without need to search for the rest.

Great car just a little to big for the two of us. Engines could be more economical

My second Forester and predominantly used for country (rural) trips. Most reviewers seem to find it underpowered but I’ve always found it comfortable to drive both for performance and road holding. Plenty of room given there are only 2 of us travelling and we have never found the seating uncomfortable. The only negative in the city driving fuel economy so I’m looking forward to trying a full EV Subaru.

Great 4x4 that did an excellent job. The space inside was more than adequate, parking was easy with fear camera. It coped well with town driving albeit a large vehicle. The Foresters cope well with hauling large objects and would still be my daily ride except battery life was kacking.

Everything is good, but the car is a gas guzzler and looks 20 years old even though it is 10, seat material and roofliner also feel cheap. Maintainance is also high even though the car is reliable.

I am short so found it hard to judge front bumper size at first. Bigger to park than what I had, but nice to drive. A bit more thirsty on fuel - but again I had a 2L that was a lighter car.
