Holding its own but needing an update

After having driven this car for two years I have to say I still love it. However, it could use some updates in refinement. The ride is a little bouncy/busy over small bumps but handles larger bumps well. Road/tire noise is higher than I like but better than all but the latest versions of the Nissan Rogue and Honda CRV. I get very good gas mileage, around 24 or so in town and it jumps over 30 anytime I get on the highway. It handles slick roads very well with its all wheel drive. I would like to see the styling updated so it doesn't look so boxy. Again, the latest from the competition are looking very stylish. I still haven't had a single warranty issue to deal with, other than wiper blades so would recommend it highly to someone who wants a reliable, economical, and comfortable car. Mine has the Subaru Eyesight safety system and factory navigation, both perform very well and I also recommend those features.

subaru forester

Great auto! Only criticism - radio and GPS could be way simpler. My other auto way simpler on both.

Top Pick for Good Reason

The main nitpicks I have for the Forester are: the ride is a little bouncy; road/tire noise is higher than I like; and as the miles add up, some rattles are more noticeable. Overall, this car is fun to drive and has sporty handling. The acceleration could be better, but it merges with traffic on the freeway just fine. Gas mileage is a real plus. If I light-foot it around town, I can get close to 30mpg. Anytime I hit the freeway, it consistently gets over 30. The room inside is very good, with plenty of space for me (6'2") and four other passengers and their stuff in the back. Other than the rattles, I have had no warranty issues with this car. I would recommend it and would buy another improved model. I am told the latest model year is quieter riding and has more up to date electronic features. I am waiting for the next gen model to see if I want to upgrade...

Forester

I love the visibility and comfort of my Forester except for the small cargo area. I miss my Legacy's cargo area where I could also sleep without needing to sleep crosswise and I'm 5'. I also do not care for the complex tech system, to just hear the radio or get my GPS, which I use my phone.

2015 Subaru Forester

I have had this car for over two years, and have always felt very safe and secure driving it. I have great visibility all around. Blind spot is easy to check. This is my second Forester, and I feel that it's the most comfortable of the line. Ease of getting in and out is another plus for me.

Great vehicle with a few deficiencies

One major problem is the terrible navigation/radio/phone unit. Most user unfriendly electronic system ever. It actually works when you can spend hours figuring it out.. Also driver seat controls placed very low on driver seat. Actually hard to reach for a short person..

It has great safety features, has run well

I've had only Honda's the past 25+ years, so having the Subaru is just different. Got it based on recommendations from family members. With my Honda's, ANYTHING safety related was fixed at no charge. My 2 issues with the car, which I SHOULD HAVE looked for before buying - no air/heat vents in the back seat!! And no light in the way back. It has been a great car/SUV. I've had an issue with the passenger seat air bag sensor, but it's being recalled to fix that.

2015 Subaru Forester

Good car for the money. Fuel efficient safe and easy to repair if needed. GPS not user friendly. Clock is difficult to navigate, however like all the feature that make driving a breeze such as fuel countdown ,mileage accrual and Safety alerts.

Subaru Forrester

Like the vehicle, sits up high, roomy, rides a little rough. It does have reliability. Basically like the vehicle. My first Subaru. Wish you could unlock more than just driver door if battery is totally dead. Could not get into back of vehicle to get jumper cables.

Great vehicle for active life style.

Love my Forester. I have no complaints at all except for the electronics. The bluetooth will not auto connect and the aux to the radio is sketchy - mutes and won't unmute, hard to manage. Other than that I love the functionality of my SUV. Drives great, low maintenance! Drives really well!

noisy ride

I don't like the noise level on the highway and that three button programming tool is a joke.

Great car, good milage, car goes everywhere.

This is clearly one of the best cars I have ever owned. It goes everywhere in just about any kind of weather. The only time I have ever gotten stuck was on a hill with 18" of snow. Not the car's fault. The ground clearance is 9+ inches. 18" of snow turned it into a snow plow. But all the other cars on my hill got stuck, including all the big pickup trucks.

Too Expensive Everything

I got the Forester because it was the best rated for AWD. It's definitely the best suspension and driving vehicle in the winter. However a month after warranty ran out, it came up with a problem with three warning lights lighting up like a Christmas tree and the Cruse Control wouldn't work while this happens. It's an intermittent problem. Dealer wanted to charge me $350 to fix it. Took it home and found on the internet that it was the break switch, which cost $5 on Amazon, and fix it myself. The control arms broke on the suspension system. $1,600 to replace. No wonder the sales person was insisting on me buying the warranty extension which I didn't have a budget for. It's like the knew I would need it. This is the most expensive vehicle maintenance wise in it's class. Had a Toyota Rav4 before and never this expensive to fix. Buying a Toyota or Honda next time around.

Was never what I hoped for.

I was disappointed early on when it could never and I mean never hold my Bluetooth connection. Never got the gas mileage I expected seems like it wasn’t made to Subaru standards. Center armrest/console is worthless.
