Basic car with room for groceries, dog, without being as big as an SUV.
Pros: fits groceries and can sleep in back with seats folded down, drives well in the winter. Cons: loud, terrible in the wind, have had issues with oil consumption (was resolved under warranty eventually). Overall this is a good vehicle for someone who has a dog and one or two children, doesn't want anything fancy. If you're looking for a fancy all the bells and whistles, smooth riding car... Look at another vehicle.

Good all around travel car. Lots of cargo space.
It gets great mileage, has lots of cargo room (especially with the seats down), drives easily (automatic transmission). I did have to have the catalytic converter replaced ($1000), and it did have a recall on the airbag (free). I got it in a dark red, so it looks great too!

It is a pretty average vehicle.
I have had my 2013 Subaru forester for about 2 years. I have had to replace the front left ball joint twice. The abs light and traction control light are constantly on even though I have had multiple people look at it and haven’t figured out why. My tire pressure gauge is also always on because if my tires have a little less air than normal, it turns on.

Great all wheel drive vehicle.
I love this car. No problems, great gas mileage. Some issues with oil when we first bought, but has since been resolved. The all wheel drive is great where I live, and I never have any issues in inclement weather. The Bluetooth/handsfree device is very helpful when driving, too.

Best car ever for a forever car of your dreams.
Subaru is an amazing car. I have been driving it for 7 years and had no problems. Engine runs a little differently than other cars because it is placed differently. Otherwise it runs great during the winter. I never got stuck in snow, traction is great. Runs great during the summer with all wheel drive. We went off roaring and there’s really no place where this car cannot go. I have a basic version of this car but it is as good as limited version. Has Bluetooth and USB option available for music listening. It is very spacious on the inside. High ceilings. Also the sport mode is great for driving in the mountains. I think that is all I have to say about it.

Subaru forester 2013 - personal account.
Oil consumption issues. New engine overhaul paid for by warranty. Emergency brake light has recurred. Tire pressure needs to be filled often (probably pa state roads for that, though). Comfortable car but no luxury amenities. Great for kids. Safe and reliable. Good trunk space. Overall like the car, but do not love it.
Hannah S

It gets good gas mileage.
I like the gas mileage. I like the clearance. I like the moon roof. I like the amount of space inside the cab.
Brennon B
on March 21, 2021
Handles like a small car, with mid size storage.
This car has been rock solid for my family. Comfortable ride. Good amount of cargo space available. Large moon roof is a plus. Really solid gas mileage too. Nice standard features. Durable. Couple cons, the ride is a bit noisy. Also you really need to stay on top of oil levels.

Engine Issues Never resolved
My 2013 Forester ran well for a few years and then, my engine developed an oil consumption issue. Subaru was aware of this issue as I had received a letter warning that this was a potential issue and offering extended warranty. My local dealer rebuilt the engine in December 2017. By July 2018, it was discovered that the new engine was not properly sealed and so Subaru re-sealed the engine. Now, September 2019, my new engine is failing but because Subaru provided only a very limited warranty on this new engine, they inform me that it is out of warranty and will cost me over $5,000 to repair. I'm extremely disappointed in this service. Clearly, the new engine provided is also c**p but Subaru Canada was not willing to properly fix this. I'll never buy a Subaru again.
Ana N
on March 10, 2021
The interior and exterior is sleek black but my favorite part is the sunroof.
Reliable vehicle for the amount of mileage I have put on it in the past 2 and a half years. Routine maintenance is key to keep the car in good condition. Comfortable driving it and I have been in a couple of accidents and have felt very safe.
Brittany L
on March 8, 2021
It is one of the most dependable cars I have ever had.
My car has all wheel drive, which makes it really nice in the winter time. One thing that is inconvenient is that when I need to replace one tire, I have to replace all tires because of it being all wheel drive. The forester is also higher off of the ground and more spacious than my ford, which is nice since we have two medium sized dogs and go on road trips often.
Mappy W
on March 5, 2021
Forester: a secure, sensible buy.
If you want to feel secure in lousy weather this is an excellent vehicle and great value. It is the kind of vehicle that encourages sensible driving. It is not quick, or fast, and it leans enough to make quick turns uncomfortable. It trains you to drive well and safely. The visibility is excellent. You have a nice perch, lots of window and there are very few visual obstructions. Gas mileage is so-so but it is full-time all wheel drive.
Lily L
on March 1, 2021
I have been very impressed with the performance and quality of this car.
I love this vehicle. It has lots of cargo room without being a giant, gas guzzling monster. Great performance, lovely handling, well made.
Esther H
on February 28, 2021
Great gas mileage and seat warmers.
This car has had 6 recalls so far, it was sold to me without its previous problems being disclosed. There is a warning label inside the vehicle that says it can easily be tipped. It has very good gas mileage and is super spacious. I also like the visibility in this vehicle.
Sharon E
on February 24, 2021
Amazing car. Will last forever. Travels nice plenty of room.
Love the gas mileage. Love the hands free phone. Love the Bluetooth radio. Easy to park. Large trunk. Easy to keep clean. All wheel drive is amazing. Wish it had roof racks. The only thing I don't like is the buzzing sound if you don't wear your seatbelt.
Julia S
on February 17, 2021
In case of an accident, you and your family will most likely survive.
Safety is priority and Subaru is consistently rated high. The vehicle is has plenty of room for all riders. The windows are large and therefore does not block your view which is another safety factor. It is still compact, easy to drive, and easy to park.
Joseph F
on February 6, 2021
Smooth, comfortable driving.
The vehicle is a very comfortable ride. I have the manual version which I have had two issues in which the clutch has needed replacement. The AWD is a great feature. Plenty of room. The oil filter is in an easily accessible location. The dipstick is difficult to read.
Lisa A
on February 3, 2021
Very safe and reliable. Will last a long time if you take care of it.
No complaints, I love it. Rides nice has lots of room. It is very safe and versatile. Definitely will get another subaru.
Jessica B
on January 18, 2021
Safe family car with great storage for family vacations.
It is a very comfortable car to drive. Lots of storage in the back, good backseat for 2 kids. The turning radius is a lot better than on other small SUVs, and I love that it is all wheel drive. It makes me feel a lot safer when driving conditions are less than ideal. One downside is that you have to check the oil in between oil changes as it tends to run low between shop visits. I have heard that this is pretty common in this vehicle. The fuel mileage is good and it is pretty easy for maintenance. Overall, I would highly recommend this car.
Stephan J
on January 15, 2021
The perfect utilitarian car.
I love my car! It is comfortable, luxurious enough, has plenty of space for all my stuff I need to haul around, and nice premium features like heated seats and a sunroof. The only thing I do not like about it is the small gas tank that limits range. It has given me no issues.

Really good safety ratings make me feel secure at all times
Great field of view. Great safety ratings. Square cup holders are stupid

I like that It's a blue Subaru Forester. It's very roomy for my family. Has good gas mileage
Betsy S
on January 6, 2021
Love is what makes a Subaru a Subaru.
I love the heated seats. I do not like that the cup holders are square. Cups rattle in them. I get between 20-23 mpg and I think that could be a little better. The sunroof works well and I live the extra light from it, because I do not like the tinted windows. The controls for the sound system on the steering wheel are helpful.
Claudia R
on January 5, 2021
Great all weather vehicles!
Love my forester Subaru! It runs great and great with handling curves and going around corners. It has good acceleration. The service department is helpful and offers nice perks like free oil changes and inspections. When there is a recall they are good at notifying me and fixing the problem hassle free.
Allison D
on December 31, 2020
It is a small SUV that drive like a sedan.
Very expensive to fix any issues. Car makes a lot of noise while driving it. The brakes need to be fixed every year. The gas mileage gets worse over time.. I love the blue tooth and the size of the car and being able to drive a SUV without the feel of an SUV.
Molly N
on December 30, 2020
Great car today and tomorrow.
The Subaru Forester makes me feel very safe. It is not too big. Great visibility. All wheel drive. These are all pros for the car. The cons all 4 tires need to be the same at all times. If you get a flat tire, the same tire has to be purchased. The car is not quiet. It sometimes makes some noises when starting up. This is my second Subaru and would buy Subaru’s again.
Josh B
on December 28, 2020
The perfect vehicle for your mountain adventures.
It is a really nice car. We got it for mountain driving in the Rockies and it has held up to all weather conditions! In the snow it alerts you when you are losing traction, and handles very well. I have done many off roading excursions from Denver to Moab and have yet to encounter any issues.
Karen E
on December 28, 2020
Subaru Forester highs and lows.
This auto is easy on gas and performs well in the snow and ice conditions. It is moderately priced. The interior is a bit less that what I like, with poor carpeting. The interiors size is also a bit smaller inside than I like. If something falls I will not easily find it.
Sarah B
on December 19, 2020
Subaru forester oil consumption.
Its had a lot of recalls including replacing the engine. Even after the engine replacement it consumes a lot of oil. When I drive through mountains it has trouble getting up the incline. The gas mileage is not what it promised. If I were to buy another car it would not be this one.
Leslie P
on December 10, 2020
I like the heated seats and the large moon roof
I have had no issues with my Subaru. I have over 166,000 miles and the car is still going strong. The performance of the car has been fine. The car is very comfortable and I have plenty of legroom. This is good because my partner and I both have very long legs.
Guy C
on December 4, 2020
Built safely. Smooth ride.
4 wheel drive. The front end seems shorter than it is. It is a very smooth city drive. Excellent mileage.
jahqiel P
on December 3, 2020
Subaru forester is a good working car & great for daily commute.
It's a good running vehicle, runs great when used to its full potential. Not very great with music, speakers need to be louder. The gas is affordable and could last you a long time when used correctly. It has a lot of space for its size plus it's great for driving in bad weather setting. Among ranked the best in performance.
Janet S
on November 30, 2020
The safety feature is the best. It runs quietly. I love it
The gas mileage could be better. Will look for a bigger suv next time
Ashley M
on November 27, 2020
Would not re-buy another forester in the future.
Burns/consumes excessive oil. Extremely noisy when its started before it warms up. Terrible in windy conditions. Interior is not "classy", simple and plain. All wheel drive, good for all season driving. Plenty of room for groceries, family, dog. Simple interior - not a lot of buttons to learn to use.
Jamie R
on November 21, 2020
It is a great car for the outdoors.
This car has good visibility and a fairly good turning radius. Easy to drive and pretty good gas mileage. It is good for driving on a variety of terrain and good for driving long distances. Parts are not too expensive and so it is easy and moderately priced to get fixed.
Nissy M
on November 21, 2020
Subaru forester: it is an amazing vehicle that everyone should try out.
Very smooth to drive. Easy to manage. Able to break easily with so much grip being used. Excellent for a family.. Long trips and so on. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. The car is easy to clean and usually tend not to give anyone a hard time.
Josh R
on November 15, 2020
My car has all wheel drive so I am less likely to have problems in the winter.
I appreciate having all wheel drive. It's the first vehicle that I have owned that has the ability to haul things.I like being a bit higher up on the road .
Sheila E
on November 13, 2020
It is very convenient you can haul a lot of things with it.
The vehicle is good and not too bad on gas. It is comfortable and not too big for a SUV. It has a good reputation... Gas mileage could be improved..
Sarah S
on November 9, 2020
It goods in the snow and bad weather.
I like that it has all wheel drive. I like that it has large trunk space lots of room. I dislike that it does not have a sunroof.
Harry B
on October 30, 2020
I use synthetic oil to help improve mileage.
My vehicle is 2013 base Forester. It is white with a black interior. I purchased this vehicle primarily to deal with the snowy days common in my area during the winter. The vehicle works very well for Its intended purpose.
Donna H
on October 25, 2020
Great car, but disappointed in some repairs needed.
Negative: had to have the catalytic converter replaced. It is easy to drive, gets good (25+/mile) gas mileage, am able to haul a good size quantity in the back. It now has 180,000 miles on it and needs to have the oil checked regularly. I have had it in for the airbag recall, and for regular service.
Kayla C
on October 24, 2020
My vehicle is good for outdoor activities and for outdoor enthusiasts.
Overall, I like the space of the vehicle. I am able to take it camping and road tripping and pack a lot of stuff with no problem. So far it is been a reliable vehicle. The seats are also comfortable - I have been able to take out on long drives. Performance is also pretty good.
Karen E
on October 22, 2020
It holds Its value well and is easy on gas mileage
I like that it handles well in the winter weather. I like the mpgs. I don't like the interior carpet and I don't like size
Jen S

It is a very safe car that many people would like.
I like the safety of the vehicle. It has good gas mileage, and is a good size. I do not really dislike anything.
Lila G

Handles great in Minnesota winter!
I haven't experienced many issues with my forester. It is a great car, I like driving it. The SUV handles pretty well in the winter, in Minnesota - which is saying something, but of course I would absolutely love it if it handled it even better in the snow and ice.
Sarah L
on October 12, 2020
Great car with a little noise.
Great car that is extremely reliable. I have not had many problems with it except for the noisy-ness of the engine. When you drive, it will roar at times. I've had mechanics check it out, but they all say it is a characteristic of the car. After a while you zone the noise out.
Lyndy P
on October 11, 2020
That it is great for all seasons. Great for traveling and rated top for safety.
I love my Subaru Forester because it's compact and easy to park, yet roomy. The maintenance can be expensive but the car lasts a long time and with regular maintenance you can get up to 300k miles on it.
Freya K
on October 4, 2020
The car is very comfortable.
My car drives very well and has enough space for luggage and passengers. The moon roof is very nice when car camping. The back seats lay flat so two people can lay in the back and sleep comfortably. The car is able to drive in manual, which is very helpful on dirt roads. The engine has enough power to accelerate quickly.
HOLLY M
on October 2, 2020
Clean, easy going SUV. Subarus are the way to go.
Positives: very comfortable and spacious. All applications work well - heat, air, radio, power windows etc. I have the basic model, and the only problem I experience is it does not have a lot of power going up hills including when there is any weight on the car. This is with a manual transmission. Love the look and the feel.
Jojin J
on September 13, 2020
Subaru forester 2013 is a very forester is a reliable car.
It very smooth driving with easy to break and no sound. The suburb forester, model 2013 is a silver color and bought it as used. Yet the performance is very well. It is very reliable. I believe I had issues with the car once, however it is was simple to fix.
Bill T
on September 7, 2020
Great crossover with character.
My car is fairly loud when it drives and it sounds like an airplane. It has a lot of space in the back and I was able to move all of my stuff in and out of college for four years. It is very reliable and have driven it for 10 hours straight with no problems.
Clara K
on September 6, 2020
Subaru forester: the best vehicle.
This car is very useful. I love how it runs. I already have over 100,000 miles on it and my cars still going strong and we've only had to take it to get repairs once. I definitely recommend this car to anyone and everyone. It is also great as a family car.
Tom S
on September 6, 2020
Reliable and safe family car
The vehicle is a good size and easy to park in small spaces while also having the ability to hold a sufficient amount of cargo in the back seat. It gets reasonably good mileage. It has good pick up and acceleration. One downside is that it has an unusual blind spot from the drivers side.
Ellie P
on September 6, 2020
Heated seats, sunroof, roomy, Bluetooth radio, lights in cup holders.
I love this forester because it is big enough for friends and family it has great gas mileage and fun features. There is a sunroof for summer adventures and heated seats for winter. The size of the car is great because I am able to see things clearly and without restriction.
Leslie K
on September 4, 2020
My sweet forester. It can be a city or country car!
I always feel safe driving in my subaru. It handles really well in the rain. I feel like I have control. It is also a great car for hauling things. There is lots of room. Even though it looks small, it really holds a lot! I have experienced stalling with it lately. It usually happens when it is cool so I thought it was just because the engine has not warmed up, but even when I let it idle for a good while it still stalls. That is the only issue I have with my car, though. I truly love my little forester!
Donald G
on August 27, 2020
Gas mileage is lower than manufacturer claims.
I like the size and how it handles. I don't like the gas mileage (lower than claimed at purchase) and expensive repairs that occurred both before and after warranty expired.
James R
on August 23, 2020
Subaru is the greatest of all!
This car drives fast, steady and smooth. Great traction in snow. Comfortable and easy to navigate. Subaru makes great cars and the forester is by far one of the greatest. Gas mileage is great and the engine is fantastic. The color and detail In Deep blue and has a great appearance.
Liz K
on August 20, 2020
It makes for a good family car for a group of four people or less.
I like the height. The space for loading items is ideal. Gets good gas mileage.
Lindsay V
on August 20, 2020
Nice ride but have needed to put a lot of work in to it.
Good ride and is very reliable. The air conditioning has had a few Problems but when it works it works well. The tires have had to be worked on a number of times the wheel bearings have been loose. It's been an easy fix but expensive. I would recommend a newer edition the 2013 is getting very outdated.
Amy S
on August 18, 2020
It gets good gas mileage and has great accessory features.
I like that my Subaru has Bluetooth capabilities, gets decent gas mileage, and handles well on the road. I dislike that it does not have a sunroof or heated seats. I would like it even more if it had these things.
Barbara G
on August 16, 2020
It is not too big or too small.
Love the height of the SUV, as I have a bad back and it allows me to enter the car comfortably. . . The ride is wonderful. I do not have all the bells and whistles, but I do not feel like I am missing anything.
Molly M

Great in snow - especially if you live in the northeast
My car has had issues with the battery and bluetooth in just the first two years of owning. Subaru cars are great but their customer service is generally awful.
Suzanne P

It's a car - what more do you need?
I have no idea what to say. It's a car. It gets me from one place to another. That's all I ask of it.
Cynthia S
on August 12, 2020
We'll get it fixed and keep it.
I had a short engine block recall replacement due to oil consumption. I recently had issues covered under warranty related to the repair and now I have a slight fluid leak in my transmission. My extended warranty ended in 2016 and I am at 72, 000 miles.
SHEMAINE R
on August 12, 2020
Subaru love. My Subaru is the most reliable car I have ever had..
My Subaru has never let me down. It gets me through snow storm and backroads. It is not the quietest car and now has a ping that is driving me crazy but it is totally reliable. The older ones seem to be oil hogs as well. Still, this is my third Subaru and I will get another one when I am ready to go in debt.
Max C

The most perfect vehicle on the market.
The car is amazing, I'drives like a dream. It is extremely comfortable, open and airy. It even has heated seats if you want to use this feature, and the sunroof is beautiful. I just love everything there is about my vehicle. It is very spacious and has a large cargo space in the back for packages and groceries to be out in. The back seat are very spacious and has a lot of leg room.
Laurel V
on July 17, 2020
Love my car- next car will be a Subaru as well!
I have appreciated the versatility of my car. I can take it camping, hiking, skiing and then help my friends move apartments in the city and go get drinks with them afterwards. It is reliable as long as you keep it on its regular maintenance schedule.
Marlene D
on July 15, 2020
The heated seats warm up quickly and having automatic starter is great.
Love the way it handles in snow. Easy to maneuver. Interior is very spacious and easy to keep clean. It has a big moon roof. It heats up quickly and the air conditioning cools the car quickly. The trunk is very roomy. I am not crazy about the radio and it is speakers. The reception could be better. It's great on gas.

The subaru is rugged, durable, and reliable. It holds its own in all sorts of weather. It'd be nice if it got better gas mileage but it still doesn't do too bad there either
Heather D

Black on black sporty suburb.
Smooth riding locally (to work, etc. ) And road trips (on highway). Comfortable seating (leather). No major problems since owning it. Love the way it looks too (black in and exterior). Added bigger/nicer wheels and bike rack for sportier look. Would recommend and own another suburb in the future.
Lou K
on June 17, 2020
Good handling and save view from all sides.
The vehicle is fairly comfortable and other than the factory recalls, pretty reliable. It is used primarily to shuttle our grandkids to and from school, sports, music and other functions, where my children's cars will not hold our kids and their friends.
Emilie D
on June 16, 2020
Subaru 2013 forester has still got it!
My vehicle does not have any issues! It rides super smooth even though it's a bit older. It rarely rusts and I've never had any issues with it. I always purchase Subarus! It's very comfortable and is always easy to clean. My dogs love to sit in the spacious back seats.
Aurora N
on June 15, 2020
Love my Subaru! It is an enjoyable vehicle to drive.
Have had no problems. Very reliable. A lot of legroom, front and back. My granddaughters are six feet tall and they ride comfortably in the back. I did buy the basic model. Still has Bluetooth and cruise control. The windows are large so the view is fantastic. No blind slots.
Shawna R
on June 6, 2020

It runs okay for being 6 years old
It is a okay car, it is a cheaply made. The mechanics work well in it. Wish it had more extras in it, like more information on the dash. I don't know what more to say about the car. Not really good at writing about my car. Which the air work better in it
Sarah M
on May 31, 2020
It has very high safety ratings in all areas tested.
My vehicle is generally comfortable and reliable. It has had some strange glitches such as the oil light turning on and off randomly when the oil is fine. Also my check engine light turns on and off randomly and the dealership is unable to determine what is wrong.
Trish H
on May 26, 2020
Has been a peace of mind that is also dependable.
I have not had any problems. It has been trustworthy, goes well in the snow. Heated leather seats and remote start. I have navigation and sirius radio with Bluetooth phone connection for hands free for driving. It has a sunroof . Also has turbo engine has the speed when you need it.
Marie C
on May 17, 2020
Very high rated in safety ratings
Like the lack of blind spots in my view. I have plenty of room to transport things. I do wish it got better gas mileage.
Sheila C
on April 30, 2020
Subaru is reliable and a good family vehicle.
No real problems, but expensive to maintain in south Florida at a dealership. It now seems dated when compared to the whistles and bells of newer cars, even in the Subaru family of vehicles, and the car is only 5 years old. It gets good gas mileage, and is easy to drive and not too big.
Rachel D
on April 29, 2020
Performs well, lacks luxury.
My Subaru is extremely reliable and good in all weather. It definitely gets me from point A to point B and never has cost too much to maintain. It is comfortable enough, but definitely lacks any "luxury" feeling if that is what you are looking for. My biggest complaint with my car is that the Bluetooth constantly connects and disconnects. It is very unreliable. I have taken it in for service and I am told this is just how it is. It is annoying as I have a long commute and use Bluetooth for navigation, music, and talking on the phone. If you need a reliable, mostly comfortable, practical vehicle, this is it. If you are looking for high-tech features and luxury, look elsewhere.
Lauren S
on April 27, 2020
The heat / ac works really well and with the automatic start.
The car is good but since it is on the older side, the Bluetooth audio has to be manually connected every time you get in the car, and if you are within 1.5 rpms the car will hum and it will drive you nuts. The automatic driver's side window struggles to go back up, and if the windshield wipers are going there will be a clicking noise on the opposite side of the wheel near the blinker.
Sarah F
on April 10, 2020
My 2013 Subaru forester is an amazing adventure car.
I just recently bought my 2013 Subaru forester! I am so happy with the all wheel drive, the sound system, and the accessories Subaru offers. I was looking into buying a Subaru for a while and really fell in love with this car for the gas mileage and much more. All the accessories work great and I recently purchased a roof rack which fit perfectly with no problem at all.
Lila W

Height from road, good response on wet surface, good performance power when accelerating, I feel safe in it.
Marcela M

My love for Subaru is like my love for adventure.
I love my Subaru. It has turbo and it is all wheel drive. Great for road trips and camping trips. It has a camera for those hard to park spaces. It also has a huge moon roof that you can open a stargaze or just open for the fresh air. I have never had an issue with my Subaru. It has been very reliable since day 1.

Zippy Manual With Room for Gear
Perfectly sporty for me. It's a little loud on the road and I always have to top off the oil between oil changes because it burns oil.

The love of Subaru forester
I absolutely love my subaru. I feel the most safe thant I have ever felt in my subaru. It drives smooth and is very comfortable.

Six years later, still on top of it is class.
Never had a problem. Narrow enough to fit in small parking lots, big enough to fill up on a hardware store run. Plus, 4 wheel drive is a huge bonus. The biggest thing I noticed was there are practically no blind spots in this car! The only downside (and I stress only) is the gas mileage. At the time, it wasn't bad. It is still not horrible, but newer models have better mileage.

I learned something today after owning for 6 years
I have an XT Touring Forester and accidentally left the hatch back light on all night with original battery. The battery was completely dead in the morning. No big deal right? I have jumper cables and battery jumper kit under hatchback floor. Guess what? The hatch back won't open when the battery is dead. I had to empty everything through the back row. I now keep my jumper cables and battery jumper kit under the passenger seat. I'm the original owner and love my XT Touring Forester. The gas mileage has gotten better as it breaks in topping out at 24-25 MPG highway. Seriously fast SUV and handles great in the snow. No problems at all. Original battery, tires and brakes at 60K. I use synthetic oil and replace as Subaru recommends. Note: Tires have half tread; brake pads over 50%, battery still working. You simply can't beat a Subaru.

Amazing car, cannot recommend enough.
Great turning radius, comfortable seat, great all around visibility, very safe! Has survived a rear end collision while keeping the occupants safe with little jarring because the crumble zone did a wonderful job. I love this car and will definitely be getting it again next time I am in the market.

Overall great vehicle especially for unpredictable weather
Reliable, great in rain and snow. I had problems with the alignment because of the dealership, but they finally took ownership and fixed the problem. I did feel the car ran differently when you used regular vs premium gas. Very comfortable overall but narrow back seats. Great for moving large items because the middle seats go flat. Rear view camera is decent but does not give a very wide view

Dependable and reliable, will definitely last for years with regular maintenance
I love my Subaru. It's so roomy I can fit 5 people easy. I am a nanny and I typically have two or three car seats in the back and I can easily fit groceries and bicycles and toys for the kids in the back. The gas mileage is great. The one thing I don't like is I wish had a roof rack which I don't.

Perfect sized vehicle for someone looking for something larger than a car.
I have had my vehicle for a short period of time but have loved the time I have had with it. I have had no problems with it and I know that my vehicle is a reliable car in all sorts of weather conditions. The Bluetooth speaker is a plus and a nice feature to have.

It is practical and reliable. I can depend on it to satisfy my transportation needs.
My vehicle is suits my purposes well. It provides safe, reliable transportation with comfort. The cost of ownership is reasonable. Overall I am very happy with it.

Reliable, engine and tranny is good.
The problem: it accelerates too fast or too slow. No in between. You have to push it at a certain medium to get the best performance. The pros: very good performance, ac, steering. The cons: the drive is a bit rough but still a decent ride. The pros: it feels tough and safe.
