I love my Subaru Forester, it has been extremely dependable since I purchased it with very good gas mileage and low maintenance

This car is very reliable. The only major breakdown I've had with it is a wheel bearing went out.
This is the most dependable car I have ever owned. I've had only one major breakdown and very few miscellaneous repairs. What I don't like about this particular vehicle is that there is only one keyhole to unlock the car. Only on the driver's side - none on passenger side.

The AC doesn't work all the time.
It has a long life, but can be a pain when something breaks because of brand specific parts.
LULU R

It runs well and we didn't pay an arm and a leg for it.
We love the sunroof. We also love that it runs well and for a long time. It's practical

Comfortable travel vehicle
My Subaru Forester rides very smoothly and has over 156,000 miles. I have had no major repairs done to it besides fixing my air conditioning. I love the sporty style in that it has ample room in the back for storage. Yet, the leg room in the back seat is small. The front seats are very comfortable and roomy. My only other complaint is that my car is noisy on the highway.

Safety, comfort and reliability. Stable AWD. Easy maintenance.
Purchased used; is actually 2005 model with all the best features. Less than 53K original miles. One owner, personally known to me. No complaints.
Tyler G
on February 27, 2021
It represents who I am, being outdoorsy and capable
I like that it has a stick shift, and that that it can be used for multiple purposes, especially off-roading
Sharon L

It is highly reliable and requires little maintenance.
Reliable, good gas mileage, all weather, not a lot of maintenance, great handling, good safety rating.

All about my Subie and how it gets me where I need to go.
My car is great! So far I have had no problems with this vehicle. I have owned it for a little over 3 years now. Even though it is now 13 years old nothing big has happened. It still gets great gas mileage. At least 28-30 on road trips. It is an automatic and very comfortable to drive. It has all automatic features. It is a large wagon type and can fit 5 passengers. AM FM radio and CD player. No USB
Cj M
on February 14, 2021
Reliable even in MN winters.
I love that my car just keeps going. It has 160k miles on it and even when it has problems it does not quit on me. The struts were a pain to replace because they were specific to mu edition of the car, but repairs and maintenance are otherwise reasonable.
Taylor R
on January 30, 2021
Lots of storage in a small car.
Scratchy breaks, even though mechanics tell me there's nothing wrong . Car lurches forward when it is cold outside. The door over the gas cap gets frozen in the winter, which is annoying . Really tight turning radius. Performs well and gets good gas mileage. Lots of trunk storage. Really big sunroof.
Marisa H
on January 20, 2021
It gets you where you need to go. It's never left me in a position where it just died and I had to get a ride.
I love the Subaru brand, it saved my life 2 years ago when I was hit by an 18-wheeler and survived without any major injuries. It's great in the winter and as I said, a safe car to drive.But they are known for having issues with head gasket, engine light and cruise control lights that stay on all the time, very annoying.
Laura M
on January 19, 2021
It's comfortable, roomy and gas efficient. It has a high safety rating.
I like the all wheel drive of the vehicle. It's compact but is still roomy. And I like the gas mileage.
Aidan M
on January 10, 2021
Great car. No complaints about my Subaru forester.
It is great. I have never except once had problems with my car in the ten or so years I've had it. I definitely will be buying a Subaru again. Apart from the oil change light that doesn't go out and the little bit of oil it leaks the car runs perfectly.
Jenn M

Spacious and reliable I love it
I love my car it does not ever go be me any problems if t runs great and is reliable. I am very pleased with my purchase and would buy another one in the future.
Heidi O
on January 6, 2021
It's comfortable. The seats do not hurt my back. There is a lot of space for my 2 large dogs, always a plus!
Surprisingly, this was my first Subaru and I love it in the snow. Perfect.Having bought it used, it has developed a lot of issues making it a lemon. The driver side window froze. The battery died, the bottom exhaust pipes were welded together, the left side bearing had to be replaced, the radiator has now started to be a problem. Endless issues.
M N
on January 4, 2021
I find my car extremely reliable and dependable. Has not given me any major repair issues.
Like-Dependable and deemed safe from consumer reports. Dislike- gas consumption.
lenora p

Forester is 165000 miles and it still works every day
Starts and runs, not too big, paid for, history of dependability
Angela P
on December 22, 2020
Safety and reliability are the most important areas.
We purchased the vehicle brand new. It is been involved in 2 accidents and continually provides me with a safe feeling. I also only need to fill the gas tank every other week. The insurance is also relatively low.
Kristina C
on December 22, 2020
Very reliable. Where I live, many people have Subarus, so it is pretty easy to get repairs
It works great for where I live, which is a place that gets a lot of snow, so the 4 wheel drive comes in handy. The check engine light is always on because there is some sort of problem with the catalytic converter, which is apparently a normal thing for these cars. Doesn't affect how it drives.
Megan N

2006 Subaru Forester review.
My vehicle's check engine light remains on when there is not anything wrong with my vehicle, but it runs well and has been around for 12 years. If idle, the ac turns warm, but once you start moving again the car will blow cold air. I love the heated seats feature. Overall I love the car, I have never had an issue.
Sharon N
on December 11, 2020
The accelerator is touchy.
Its size is just right small enough to handle easily but big enough to carry most of what I need. One drawback is that it tends to use oil faster.
Brian A
on December 7, 2020
It is very spacious, has a lot of trunk space, and is very safe to drive.
My Subaru Forester is a roomy, quick, fuel efficient vehicle that allows me comfortably drive anywhere I need to go.

Great car
2006 forester ll bean! The best car i have ever owned! Ive had toyotas,datsuns,fords and vw,s, of which 2nd best was vw! My subaru was given to me after a friend wrecked my 03 ford ranger,,the forester beats hands down the ranger on mileage,maint,drive, everthing! Although the forester is not without some issues! Of course leaky head gasket, of witch mine seeps oil out underside of right head, drips on oil filter and blows back on pipes! But almost everyone that has one had somewhat same issue,, right now im going through an issue from a engine code that came up from EVAP unit! And it was traced down to vapor canister, fuel sensor and shut off ? but cant complain! Its still the best! Theres not a car around that dont have maint issues! Ive only had subaru for two years and have not had in snow yet, just got new GTX yotohama tires, auto, ll bean is leather seats, heated seats front and back,,sun roof, weather channel, lots cargo room, i get upper 30s to low 40s on highway at 65 to 70 even though its auto!
Shari H
on December 2, 2020
It can take a beating and it keeps on running. It handles really good in the snow and the rain.
It has all wheel drive so it can go pretty much anywhere. It's like a mini truck when need be. It drives really well. It's good on gas.
Elijah M
on November 26, 2020
All wheel drive is amazing.
The overall all wheel drive in my Subaru is really nice. However the brakes are irritating sometimes and the heating system is known to have major issues. Size is small, stereo system could be nicer as well.
Cheryl P
on November 23, 2020
It is very reliable and well built, handles well on the road.
It gets decent gas mileage. I have had very few repairs and No large costly ones. It handles well in snow and is comfortable.
Anna G
on November 22, 2020
You feel safe in this car.
I like how my car drives. It hugs the curves. I don't like it is too small for those in the back seat. Plus it needs upgrades. Like USB hook ups etc.
Ruth E
on November 7, 2020
Really loud on the highway.
This vehicle makes really weird squeaky sounds when the wind is blowing hard. I hate how loud the windows are when we are on the freeway. It is so loud and we can barely hear each other talk.
Robert L

My vehicle is very reliable and lasts a long time.

Kathryn K
on November 1, 2020
I always feel safe in this vehicle. I bought this car for its safety rating.
My vehicle has 107, 000 miles. It leaks oil and has problems that any vehicle it is age would have, but I have an excellent mechanic and he keeps me on the road. It still gets decent gas mileage and I plan on driving it until it will not go any longer. I will replace it with another Subaru.
Jill N
on October 24, 2020
We like that it has all-wheel drive and handles rough terrain well. We live in a climate where there is a lot of snow and ice in winter and it has always been dependable through inclement weather.
Our car is very safe - we have used it since our children were born and rely on it for safe travel.
Janie W

Can pick up others at airport room for big luggage
Like how it handles have much room for sporting supplies. Dog loads easy as well as groceries
Denise R

Good gas mileage. Dependable car.
Since I have an older vehicle I am pleased that so far it has not caused any major problems. Thank you Subaru. Can take dog with me when I travel because there is plenty of room. That is really nice. Can take for extended trips and actually camp in vehicle.

It is made very well. It's great in snow and It's great in the summer. It's just a great car
I love my car. It's actually 2004 but that was not one of the options. I have 196,000 miles on it and It's been one of the best cars I have ever owned.
Jason m
on September 15, 2020
Nice design but potentially problematic maintenance if you keep for an extended period of time.
It is a decent design, with enough space for storage of groceries and other essentials, the occasional home improvement project supplies. The front end has been problematic, which seems to be a general Subaru issue. The bearings have worn out several times causing a loud noise and had to be replaced. Not as reliable as I would like.
Tara P
on August 19, 2020
Subaru is a reliable long lasting car worth the money.
I really like my Subaru Forester because it has proven to be a reliable brand. I have owned a few and so have family members and it's always been a reliable, safe, and competitively priced brand. Subaru also is always trying to improve on their products. On my Forester the only thing I do not like is the small amount of legroom in the back seat.
Matt W
on August 8, 2020
It is reliable and gets me from point a to point b with very few issues.
My car is 12 years old and has been fairly reliable. The last 2 years I have had to have some work done, but before that other than routine maintenance it has been fantastic.
Gail P

It's the brand and model I intend to drive for years to come.

Erin K

The vehicle has great safety ratings and is durable.
This vehicle is great. I have had some issues, but it is 12 years old. I have replaced the starter and the catalytic converter. The gas mileage is consistent )between 25 and 27 mpg). It runs great and has good pick up
Caity T

Subaru Forester Review/Concerns
Subaru Forester is a great car in terms of aesthetics and performance. The major downside is a leaking head gasket, which apparently is a widespread problem for foresters.
Ruth O
on June 24, 2020
Great in the snow and rain.
It's very reliable and handles well in the rain and snow. I feel safe. It's easy to drive and maneuver and backing up and parking is a breeze. However the gas mileage isn't very good and sometimes acceleration is slow, especially on hills. It is roomy and great for families and dogs. The seats lay perfectly flat which makes it great for hauling things as well.
Janet P
on June 14, 2020
Subaru forester is a trouble-free vehicle, comfortable for driver & passengers.
No problems with the car. The only service required has been routine maintenance. The car provides a very comfortable ride and gas mileage is good. For these reasons we have two identical cars in our household.
jesse g
on June 12, 2020
My car gets me where I need to go and I can plenty with it short of it being a truck.
It does great in the snow and rain but it uses way too much gas. But most annoying is the stupid faulty diagnostics kit.
Debbie M
on June 9, 2020
All wheel drive takes you over snow, ice rocks, dirt and more.
I love the all wheel drive which is great in the mountains. My Subaru is reliable for everyday and on long trips. Maintenance is not too costly. Subaru also keeps its value compared to other vehicles. Heat and air work well. Car is roomy to haul lots of stuff.
John S
on June 8, 2020
Is fun to drive, and low maintenance. Great for weekend getaways with ample storage for camping.
It's compact, nice turning radius, and has pretty good acceleration. Great back area for the dog.
Christina P
on May 27, 2020
All around great car won me over.
I bought my car used, put a little work in, and have absolutely loved it. I was afraid it was going to feel big and SUV-ish, but I am happy to say it is just right. I love the ground clearance and the height I sit at while driving, and there are virtually no blind spots with all of those windows. It has heated seats, and the biggest sunroof I have ever seen. The AWD is amazing in snowy ct where I live, though that big, flat roof is hard to clear snow off of at times. This car is practical and powerful, feels safe and like it just might run forever.
Knickel Allison
on May 27, 2020
Great on gas, SPACIOUS INTERIOR, no major issues.
My 2006 Forrester has lasted many road trips, kayak trips, and camping/off road trips. Very durable car, ive been in several accidents and all of them I feel as if the damage should have been much more significant. I got read ended by someone in a sedan texting doing about 40 mph, their car was undriveable, hood went up into a triangle with a completely smashed engine, and my Subaru made it out with just a dent to the bumper, no damage to the frame/rear wheels. I was SHOCKED I got hit with such force and my airbags did not deploy, but my seatbelt locked and I barely moved. No whiplash or anything. Great in the rain & snow. Perfect beginner SUV for young adults. I bought mine used, in great condition. 14 yrs old 140,000 miles and NO ENGINE PROBLEMS, only have had to do basic matience like oil changes, tire roatations, etc.
Susan C
on May 21, 2020
My opinion of my main transportation vehicle is not so good. It has a lot of road noise, and it drives like it has no shocks. I feel like I am riding in a rugged jeep!
Check out the noise while you drive and also notice how smooth the ride is (or is not!)
dona k

Safe and solid and great car to drive. Over 100,000 mi and runs like a top thank God
It's one of the best cars i ever drove. Very safe and solid car. Was in minor accident and very minimal damage to subaru but honda ridgeline wiped out his whole front driver quarter panel,light,and grill
Tori C

I love my 2006 Forester - an excellent first car
I love my 2006 Forester! I bought it used with 100,000 miles. The head gasket is leaking and I often have to top off my oil, but this is a common issue with Subaru wagons from this era. With proper attention and care the car has been great. It has so many excellent features, my favorite being the sunroof/moonroof combo. So lovely on a warm summer day! I would definitely recommend this car. It is perfectly spacious but also doesn't feel too big. I love it!

I love my Subaru Forester. It is reliable, comfortable, and stylish. With this car I can easily transport people, pets, groceries and other items - even bicycles - whenever I need to, wherever I need to go. Fuel economy is good, and I enjoy the dependable, pleasant reputation Subaru has. It is a car I can trust, I feel very safe in a Subaru.
Diane S
on May 3, 2020
We have a manual version, and I love that aspect of it. We not only have an automatic theft deterrent, but it makes sure I pay attention on the road. Overall, the performance has been decent. It's now above 150k miles, so it needs repair work on the rods and it's definitely been running louder than it used to. We also recently had to change the tires and brakes. Still, we like it overall and I'm glad for the safety of the build.
If given regular checkups, it's built for longevity.
Michelle c

My turbo Forester has SO much power!
My Subaru Forester is a great car for living in the mountains, in the winter snow. I have a turbo model so going up the steep mountain summits, I love the power.... When everyone else is losing power on the inclines, I pass everyone, no one passes me!
Jet r
on April 21, 2020
My car has been very reliable. I have over 150000 miles and only have the typical wear and tear on it. It is cozy enough for a long drive, and is able to fit all of my stuff when I go camping.
The one thing people should know about my car is the fact that it fits all of my needs.
dARIN S
on April 15, 2020
It will remain reliable if you take care of it.
It has had Its share of issues, but our Forester has been a mostly reliable car. It is excellent in rain and snow. It has a high safety rating. It suits our needs as a family of four.
Emma E
on April 12, 2020
Reliable, handles well, multi-purpose, spacious, long life, specious.
I find it reliable and sturdy. It isn't fantastic on gas, maintenance is relatively expensive, but for an old car I think it will hold up for years to come. The hatchback and 4 wheel drive are super convenient and it sits high enough not to worry about the undercarriage.
Maureen S
on April 7, 2020
The Subaru Forester a reliable car for both of your on and off-road travels.
This has been a great car! It has been very reliable and has served as our daily and off-road car for 12 years.
Brenda T

Reliable with small problems
I own a Subaru Forester. Bought it used about a year ago. Have had a few problems. Some things are minor like the windshield wipers broke while I was driving down the road. I also had to replace the brakes, and all the parts that go with that. The motor runs beautiful though. I like that there is plenty of room in it for the whole family plus groceries or the family dog to join in the way back. The four wheel drive comes in handy on the back roads and have had no problems with that.
Thomas C
on March 26, 2020
Good for rolling hills. I live in an area with a lot of hills. The all wheel drive comes in handy in bad weather. The Forester is a perfect size for a small SUV.
I like the all wheel drive but the car has terrible mileage. Subaru has a problem with their gas gauges. They are not accurate
Michael S

Subaru vehicles perform the best in snow/ice. Always have traction.

Joe O

Realistic evaluation of Subaru Forester.
The most common problem is that the crank or crankshaft sensor has gone bad several times. This also happened to a previous Subaru I owned, an Outback. I also had to replace the catalytic converter, but I was surprised that it didn't cost nearly as much as I had expected. It has also had a few minor electrical problems, but nothing major.
Gail F
on March 9, 2020
Second Subaru -- my favorite brand.
This is my second forester. The first one was in an accident; it was replaced by a slightly newer one (used) found at the local dealership. I really like the forester -- basically has all the features I want, and is comfortable and easy to use.
A S

Alaska SUV outperforms in the last frontier state. It's a 10.
Reconstructed title. Excellent condition-. Trustworthy engine, leather seating throughout, easy engine and interior upkeep, SUV all wheel drive, silver body and trim. Child proof windows in rear window seats. Keyless entry. Automated sunroof with cover, features are great for driving in any conditions.
John L
on February 27, 2020
At home in the woods or the city
The Forester is an ideal vehicle for a family of 3 who likes to spend time outdoors. The vehicle has more ground clearance than a car, but is much smaller than a full size truck or SUV. Hauling groceries and home improvement items is a breeze. Just wish the gas mileage was better.
Ellie P
on February 27, 2020
It's large than it appears and it very comfortable

All around well equipped vehicle.
My forester is great on gas mileage. I only had to do general maintenance on my vehicle brakes, oil changes, tires. Very roomy and great trunk space.

Subaru: Dependable for Life
My Subaru Forester is the best vehicle I have ever owned. The four-wheel drive is dependable and I have never had any issues, after 7 years of owning a Subaru. I would recommend Subaru to anyone interested in buying or leasing a vehicle. My Forester is over 10 years old but has not had any issues
Jena D

The Forester is a very dependable vehicle.
The Subaru Forester is a very dependable vehicle. Any complaints I have would be basically cosmetic. You can very loudly hear air thru the windows. The headlights get water in them. I would still definitely recommend and purchase another Forester. The engine is sound. It's a good vehicle.
Carina E

The Subaru has always been my favorite car and always will be!
The Subaru has always been a reliable car to me. It always gets me wherever I need to go. It is great on gas mileage, it usually doesn't cost me more than $35 - $40 to completely fill my tank. It definitely has some up-and-go to it and is a comfortable car that I can use for just about anything and anywhere I want to go. Good for going long distances.
Lisa Mary R

My Little Green Bean Forester

I love the sunroof my favorite thing about this car.
Want a vehicle with less mileage but this vehicle is not too bad for now only issues I am having is paying off credit cards and loans to get ahead to get a new subaru forester. Has minor issues. It has oil leaks and it had a catalytic converter issues and was replaced.
Zack P
on December 30, 2019
All wheel drive and very safe and reliable
Great car! Subaru are one of the most trusted cars for their safety and reliability. No other car comes close to securing your family and all the goods you have in your car. I wouldn't trust any other car to safely transport me and my family across the country other than Subaru
Megan M
on December 29, 2019
My 2006 Subaru Forester may shake often, but is the most reliable car I have had.
My vehicle has always run just fine, but when it is at a stop light for too long the air conditioning stops working. I believe it needs to be recharged. Also my car shakes constantly. I do not know why, but it has not caused any serious issues yet. The check engine light remains on even when nothing is wrong with the car (I think this is a common Subaru problem). It has driver and passenger heated seats which are very nice to have, especially during the winter. Overall it is a great car and I can always rely on it running when I need it to.
Sonia W
on December 19, 2019
It takes premium gas. It has a turbo. It has power for it being a 4 cylinder car.
It's a very reliable car. It still looks good for it is age. Good on gas. Fits my family perfect. Has good truck space. I can put seats down and carry larger items.
Fran F

It is a reliable and affordable SUV. It's not fancy but it works for me.
I've had my vehicle for 5 years. I like that it's reliable and comfort. I do a lot of outdoor activities and it works well for my lifestyle. It easily transports kayaks.
Annette C
on December 10, 2019
My vehicle is an all wheel drive car that I am able to rely on.
It is a little small in the back seat area for passengers, in do like the ride if the car and enjoy it be all wheel drive. The giant sunroof is amazing and when you fold the seats down it has a lot of space for different things to fit. The leather seats get a little warm but the seat warmers for the winter are perfect.
Deborah M

There is nothing more I can say about this guy that it is a great car.

Ana P
on November 28, 2019
The vehicle really does not have too many highlights.
My car is a used car however it has problems with the engine, the cruise control, and the catalytic converter. The car makes strange sounds and takes a while before picking up the speed. Sometimes the brake pad and the accelerator lock up on me when I am trying to reverse and parallel park into a spot which makes me think the car is just not safe to have my children in.
Anthony T

It is super reliable in all weather conditions. Never breaks down.
Awd. Cheap on gas. Dependable. Hatchback trunk feature. Manual transmission. Easy to work on because of the small engine block.

One of the best running cars around.
Very reliable and smooth driving car. Runs great and it's a great size. Not too big not too small. Perfect. I love the color of it ( it's silver) I named it Suby! LoL. There was a small wire problem but it was a very easy fix. Now we're back on the road and I had other cars I could have gotten but this one really truly caught my eye .
Susanna P
on October 3, 2019
This is the car of my dreams!
I love my Subaru forester! The law makes it wonderful and reliable in the wintertime, and as a first responder that is really crucial to me. The controls are very intuitive, and it handles like a dream. The steering, accelerator and brakes are all very smooth. This car is comfortable, has plenty of cargo space, and is so much fun to take places. It is high enough to get to trail heads, but small enough to make city parking easy. I cannot recommend this car highly enough!

Decent all around, could be a little better on gas but it is a good car.
Decent on gas, plenty of legroom, heated seats and a lot of room in the hatch. The engine is strong and the car has been reliable. The only downside is the all wheel drive and having to change out 4 tires for and inspections versus 2 on a rwd. Comfortable seats for long range drives.

The perfect sleeper to cruise around town.
My 2006 Forester XT is a fun practical vehicle. The turbo puts a smile on your face as you press the accelerator and feel pressed against your seat hauling down the road all whilst carrying cover in the large capacity trunk. However, if you are looking for a gas sipper then you might want to look elsewhere as this vehicle nets about 280 to a tank while requiring 93 octane. Other than that....12 year old vehicle with nearly 180k miles has treated me well. Just keep an eye on wheel bearings

It is one of the most dependable cars on the market today !!
This is the best car that I have ever owned, it is an all wheel drive car so it great in the snow, it gets great gas mileage and it is large enough for all my needs.

The hatchback feature is great, and it allows a large amount of storage if you're going camping, on a road trip, to the beach, or a wide variety of other things.
I like that it has a lot of spacious room in the trunk. I go on road trips regularly and this car has been very reliable. It gets great mileage and doesn't require a lot of maintenance.

GREAT FOR FUN TIMES! Wherever you go, whatever you do you'll want to go in your Subaru.
I love that it is very spacious and durable. Great for adventures with friends! I can fit so much in it and take it everywhere. I love the sporty look.

Awesome Subaru Forester 2006
My Subaru is incredibly reliable and gets great gas mileage. I take it off road on old Jeep trails quite often. It has plenty of room and the roof rack is incredibly handy. I also got in one car accident with the car and it held up well with no engine damage or framework damage.

Subaru’s are very reliable.
The car is very reliable and easy to fix within a reasonable price point. I dislike that the car is older and has a few small rust spots.
