2016 Subaru Forester

Great car, but not for everybody

PROS

Ride and Handling

Plenty of power will provide smooth merging onto highways and passing slow vehicles is not an issue. This is turbo charges model with 260HP on tap, works very well with CVT transmission.

Technology and Entertainment

I was quite satisfied with infotainment, it connected to my phone with no issues and the navigation is working.

Interior Space

Quite enough space for taller people at the back seat and trunk big enough for my needs. It can accommodate 4 people for a weekend getaway, along with their luggage.

Value

This is very well designed vehicle for it's intended purpose. The car was in good condition while I was driving it, but I didn't take it off road to test its capabilities.

Styling

Boxy style like other SUVs suites me, because of the elevated seating position. Easy egress and ingress.

Reliability

I had a car for only about a month and I didn't have any issues, but other people swear on its long term reliability.

CONS

Ride and Handling

Some people say there is no such thing as too much power, but I say - there is! I am at the age where I don't rely on the power of the car to get out of a trouble , but on planning to get somewhere on time.

Seat Comfort

Cabin noise is noticeable, but not irritating. What bothers me is, why would a designer put sporty seats with hard cushions in a vehicle like this? My model didn't have lumbar adjustment, but after 20-30min of driving I didn't feel comfortable to take on any longer journeys. Suspension is too hard, like on a sports car and feels horrible on bad city streets. Small sports steering wheel is very unusual on SUVs, but these are 3 deal breakers for me!

Technology and Entertainment

Some people would say that car's tech is outdated. All technology looks like some post-2000 year designs...

Fuel Economy

This car is not very efficient, but considering the power of turbo-4 engine, it's not bad. Hybrid vehicles could be more efficient, but then you have to deal with batteries, etc. My 99% of city driving returned 12.6L/100km of premium 91 octane gas.

2022 Subaru Forester

Great vehicle all around but Basics should have a mapping system built into the car,

PROS

Ride and Handling

Nice, smooth ride

Interior Space

Interior space is great backseat is a decent size. Trunk is good size as well. Doesn’t look like a huge car, but there’s lots of space.

Value

I know super Forsters maintain their value over high kilometres especially this year

CONS

Technology and Entertainment

I have a pretty basic model in the tech. This is not great at all. Most of the apps are unuseable if you don’t pay for a subscription. There’s no map system in this car you have to run it off of your phone which that should be a basic in a 2022 model

Fuel Economy

Wish had better fuel efficiency

Decent car for a decent price point

PROS

Seat Comfort

Decent room for a family of 3 (about to be four)

Technology and Entertainment

Thought I would hate the Subaru Eye but eventually grew to really enjoy the features. Annoying on rainy days though.

Interior Space

Good trunk space and tool storage in spare wheel compartment.

CONS

Seat Comfort

Could be more comfy.

Technology and Entertainment

On high precipitation days the Eye can't see well when the windshield is busy and is constantly beeping.

2019 Subaru Forester

Loving this car so far!

PROS

Seat Comfort

Seats are comfortable for long drives and I like how well I can see blind spots.

Interior Space

Lots of trunk space, enough to fit a stroller comfortably.

CONS

Ride and Handling

Could have a little more acceleration power.

Reliability

We have had some minor issues with the car, but no crazy expensive fixes were required.
