It's very safe and has great resale value. Don't buy a used 2013 Forester as they had quality issues. Love the large moon/sunroof.

It's a great vehicle for urban and freeway driving - visibility is excellent, performance of the turbo is great, the ergonomics are good, there is lots of cargo space. The driver assistance features are very useful in urban freeway driving. You will appreciate the ground clearance if you drive on rough roads on the weekends.

I love how my new Subaru Forester handles itself while driving. And I'm so happy I purchased the safety features - Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Pre-collision Braking and Rear-vision camera. The price also sealed the deal for me.

I tell all my friends it is the best car out there for country living, lots of storage, all wheel drive for our snowy winters and ease in entering and exiting.

When I bought my Subaru, my family and friends began to consider purchasing a Subaru when they saw mine. I told them that my new car was safe and very innovative. It has all the necessary features to feel comfortable and adventurous while sitting in the vehicle. The car is very quiet yet it is strong and good at acceleration.

Extremely good visibility with abundance of safety features. Driving is smooth with surprisingly good road connectedness. Entrance, exit and storage big pluses.

I love my Subaru. It rides great. I live in the mountains and the car glides up the hills and through the curves with agility and ease.
