The vehicle drives and handles very well. the safety features and adaptive cruse control are amazing. the map technology is horrible, your phone is much better. the technology in the car does not work seamlessly with your phone.

I read and respect Consumer Reports...Subaru Forester was top rated small SUV...It was also considered safest SUV for elderly drivers.. Highly reliable...attractive. Good mileage. Comfortable..

The technology is not as good as the Ford Fusion.

Quality vehicle, lots of safety features. However, be careful on an incline, as when shifting from reverse to drive, the vehicle will roll backwards, as it takes a few seconds for the transmission to kick in, my only dissatisfaction.

I really don't like that the Navigation system could not be purchased on a Forester with cloth seats. I have dogs and spend a lot of time in the mountains, so leather seats are not practical for my use of the vehicle. Cell phone coverage in mountainous terrain is not adequate for navigation purposes....just when you need it most.
