It is very spacious and offers a good and controlled driver with all wheel drive. The safety features on the car are really good there is an automated emergency brake system and a system that lets you when you diverge from a lane and everything, which is very helpful.
Sometimes the rear door gets stuck and does not open, but that is an easy fix. It does not let you open the trunk with the key fob or the inside button. When that happens I have had to go to the dealerships or just make sure the hold button is in the right position.
The forester is AWD so good in snowy and rainy conditions. It is also good on gas. The safety ratings are also good. Design is nice and simple and the ride is nice and smooth. Sound system is good. Panoramic sunroof is a nice feature.
Because of Subaru's quality there was no negotiation room on the purchase price. The helpful features such as brake assist are annoying at times. If you do not want the eco mode on you have to turn it off EVERY TIME you get in the car.
It has 4 wheel drive. A clear back up camera. Durable Leather seats. The Sunroof is very nice. I also really love the smooth drivetrain. It is a great car for dogs and for my new child. A great family friendly car!
The cons of the vehicle are that sometimes it is hard to clean. Other than that this vehicle does not have any other cons that I can think of. I have had it for a year and it has been a great vehicle for our family.
It really is an upgrade from Subaru's lineup even just a few years ago. The Forester is the perfect size--not too big, but not too small, with a little extra height to make things easier--and the perfect amount of power to deal with weather conditions in all four seasons. Your commute will be comfy because this trim comes with every upgrade that you didn't think you needed but then immediately could no longer live without. I use the app on an almost daily basis to turn my car on remotely and set the climate controls to the perfect temperature. It has all of the bells and whistles that you actually need and use.
The sensors are temperamental, and you never know if the automatic braking is going to have a bad day and slam on the breaks on the highway because a leaf looked at it funny. Sometimes, all of the electronic systems make it nearly impossible to diagnose or treat a straightforward problem. My battery has already died once in the first three months of ownership. I cannot imagine that these electronic systems and sensors are going to age well.
That it is reliable, backup camera, low maintenance, drives smooth. There is a lot of room in the back seat for passengers. I have had my Honda for almost a year now and haven't had any issues with it yet.
I am not sure of any cons. However, there was a recall on the steering wheel, but Honda was awesome and got that fixed for us quickly and now I feel safe. I would still use this car for the rest of my life.
The safety features that prevent me from getting too close to another vehicle while in cruise control. I also really like the back camera that helps me when I am backing up. The CarPlay feature is also really great because I have my entire music library on the screen.
I haven't experienced much, but the gas tank seems to be rather small considering it is an SUV. In my last car, which was an accord, the gas tank was 16 gallons. The CR-V has a 10 gallon tank. However, the gas mileage is about the same, so it equates to the same amount of gas used, but I need to fill up more often.
The size of this car is perfect for my family. And it rides smooth. Also it's not a gas guzzler. The color was exactly what I wanted, and the price point was better than I saw elsewhere. It's been great.
I don't have anything really negative to say so far. I guess the worst thing is the Bluetooth. I hate that it's the only way to connect your music to the car, it's kind of a pain but otherwise it's cool.
Great performing vehicle, good gas mileage. More expensive than other comparable vehicles to purchase or lease. Smooth ride. 2019 Has better features such as lane departure warning. Would like automatic lights.
Too expensive to buy or lease compared to other comparable vehicles. Salesman stated it was because the CR-V was selling so well that any discount was not necessary to sell the vehicle. Unless price comes down I will not lease a CR-V again.
