Tried to sell me four new tires

The service manager tried to sell me four new tires as the the original four failed inspection. I only drove 32,000 miles on these four tires, had oil my oil changes and tires rotatated at Parkway Subaru. Went to a local professional to inspect the car and everything passed inspection including the tires. Parkway Subaru was looking to cheat me out of $900 in tires. My wife and I are Senior Citizens

Subaru Forester

The best foul weather car in the world.excellent visability. Very comfortable seats with a lumbar support. Excellent smooth power with the turbo but a decline in gas mileage. I get about 25 mph. Wonderful ability to get in and out of the car. Important to me as I am a senior. Unstoppable in snow.

My 2018 Subaru Forester

In the past I have been a die-hard Honda Pilot person (along with other vehicles that I won't even mention!!). I'm so PLEASED that I switched to the Subaru Forester (based upon Consumer Reports reviews and recommendations, plus a good friend who has a 2017 Forester. I still can't be more ecstatic with my switch. Thank all of you so much.

Excellent except for the navigation system

Navigation system is the worst!!! In no way does it meet the Subaru standard of excellence.

Not my favorite car. Gave it 3 stars because it is free to me.

If it isn't free - don't buy it! 2018 - Blind Spot on the back right-hand side. It looks like VERY many other cars out there - went to "my" car at least 50 times in the last 2 years to find out "it wasn't mine". I would call it a work vehicle but it is too high to load and unload equipment. Phone reception stinks. GPS stinks.

2018 subaru forester

Great mileage, handles well. The electronics package is not well thought out . Everything is ignition switch related ....Turn off the ignition everything turns off . Charger ports , can't roll up a window before exit, drive time function resets to 0 , When using the remote start opening any door turns the engine off. The info package contains alot if usless information like AWD tire rotation and throttle position bar graph. No iformation related to tire pressure ...just an idiot light.

I switched!

For over 50 years I drove VW's and loved them, but two years ago when I needed a new car I bought my Subaru Forester and couldn't be happier. I was used to a peppy, fun car to drive and worried that the Forester wouldn't add up but it has exceeded my expectations and I am now a loyal Subaru owner. And the car holds a lots including a big crate in the rear for my dogs, with lots of room leftover in the middle seat. And the added benefit of it being very safe in the snow is fabulous. I recommend Subaru's highly.

2018 Forester.

Love it! I had a 2008, which was totaled by a guy driving a Dodge Ram. I loved it. I love this one as well. Must, as we’ve had 5 Subaru’s, my parents had 4...

My thoughts on my 2018 Forester

Have had quite a few new cars and this one ranks right up there as one of the best. However, there are a few things I think Subaru should consider changing. 1) This is the most important, IMO. Reduce the time it takes for the temperature light to go out and the RPMs to drop down before you are supposed to put the car in gear. My car takes over 2-3 minutes! 2) Install a temperature gauge on the dash.

Love my Forester!

This is my first Subaru and I will never own any other type of vehicle. I feel so comfortable and safe driving this vehicle no matter the weather conditions....heavy snow or a rain downpour this car goes through it like a hot knife through butter....I am hooked on Subaru!!!! The only negative comment I can make is I wish I had a trunk release inside my Forester, but I have the basic model.
