Meh

My father's CRV which is two years older gets way better MPG, has had far less issues, and rides much better - and the CRV has double the miles. This is the first car my wife and I purchased new. Thought it would be an awesome experience but it has been "meh." In terms of reliability - the only mechanical issue we have had in 6 yrs and 51k miles is a cam shaft seal. Had that not been under warranty it would have hurt. Also the shocks went bad around 20k which was very surprising. Ever get stuck? Nope! Best AWD available under $50k. But with the average 18 MPG and bad ride quality, despite a really nice interior and great amenities this car gets a lackluster overall rating. Oh, almost forgot, the transmission shudders badly. Feels like TCC lockup issue. Not looking forward to that repair. A far cry from what I would expect from Motor Trend's 2009 Car of the Year winner

great

Easy to drive and a good all around car especially in bad weather. One problem, I need the seat to go higher. I am only 5ft.

National Park Road Trip

Our 2011 Subaru Forester was a superstar, carrying us 12,000 problem- free miles for 10 weeks as we toured 17 national parks in May, June and July 2016. Through snow, sleet, hail, torrents of rain and high mountain passes the car never failed us once!

Great vehicle!

I love my Subaru Forester! It's safe, reliable and well made requiring little to no service other than oil changes every 5,750 miles. It's comfortable and gets great mileage.

Outstanding vehicle !

We have traveled across the country from New Jersey to Bosie Idaho and San Jose California five times. We have taken the northern and southern routes over the Rockies and in the deserts of the southwest. Our 2011 Forester has been terrific with NO problems and averaged 30 mpg. Great car and still runs well at 145,000 miles and is just five year old.

Terrific Car

I have had this car for 5 years and have traveled 140,000 miles. We have drive cross country to Boise Idaho and San Jose California five times. The car has excellent in all kinds of weather and conditions. From climbing the Rockies to the deserts of Arizona. We have never had one problem on any of these trips.
