With less than 90,00 miles blows #2 bearing.

I've had this car since it had 36 000 miles, oil changes every 3000 miles, Mobil1 full synthetic, I started the car and and heard the noise. Subaru will not do anything to help this catastrophic failure, so much for all the BS about a 200,000 mile car!

2013 Forester

I like the looks of the Forester, especially the older models. I would like to keep driving them for many years, but this one is burning oil. Will not be able to keep it as long as I would like. Gas mileage is just fair.

Not alone out there

I've learned to trust my Subaru. That's a very important feeling when you have a life that takes you where there are miles between communities in all kinds of weather. I feel if my Subaru can't handle it put out a flare, pull out the snacks, light, water and sleeping bag then lay the seat back and settle in until help comes.

LOVE

I love everything about my forester, I have never loved a vehicle as much as I love this girl. She drives great, she looks great and very reliable. It is also spacious allowing room for my kids in the back.

3013 Forester

Great car. Only complaint that I can think of is that it has the usual small car road noise when going 50mph or more. We took. 5000plus mile trip this last year and it went great.

Going downhill

Had a 2003 Forrester had over 170,000 miles when we traded it in, should have kept it. This 2013 Forrester giving us problems. It appears to have become unreliable and am thinking of trading it in. Was looking at other Subaru’s maybe not now.

Love it!

Comfortable to drive. I love the stick shift, which was what I prefer. The all wheel drive works well in all kinds of road conditions. I like that safety feature. I’m very tall and this car sits higher so easy to get in and out of and has enough head room.

After the road trip......

My Forrrester handled well going over the passes in Montana to North Dakota. I have never used Criuse Control until this trip and now I don't know how I would make the declining grades without it!

Love my car

My 4WD Forester is great. I feel very confident driving it in Michigan winter snows. It handels good on the open road and around town. It is just the right size to drive around town and it handles good on the open road. I drive my grandchildren around with confidence in my car. I love it and I would recommend buying this car to anyone who appreciates safety especially if they have children.

I will buy a Subaru Forester again

Very good service with a smile, friendly personnel, easy to make appointments, work is done on time and notification when car is ready to be picked up. Offers loan car if needed and provides detailed explanations of work completed.

Some minor but persistent issues

Overall I am fine with the car. It was oreowned and perhaps the issues originated there but the drain on the battery from certain electrical functions is a big problem for me. I am unable to make use of the door light which is a safety issue when driving at night. I assume that the issue with the tires that came with the vehicle was a dealer created issue since the mileage was minimal.

Rating our 2013 Subaru

This is the first SUV we have driven and would definitely purchase another Subaru Forester. It is perfect for hauling a large dog crate and dogs. There is much space for everything and anything.
