Reviews for 2012 Subaru Forester

Overall Rating

4.6 out of 5 (15 reviews)

Best car, great price

Security and safety. In any weather I feel in control and secure. Hardly do you see a Subaru involved in a weather related accident.

Pros

  • Braking: Brakes are very responsive. When I brake, this car wants to stop.

Cons

  • Technology and Entertainment: Could be a bit more up to date. But works as is.

- Carolina Argumedo, 2012 Subaru Forester

Handling, storage, maneuverability are Aces!

It meets all of my needs and interior is supremely flexible as to passengers or cargo.

Pros

  • Ride and Handling: It's my first SUV, yet handles like a car, and the ride is smooth.
  • Power: It has been several years since I've had a 6-cylinder; the response is instantaneous!
  • Reliability: It is purportedly one of the best vehicles to drive in New England.

Cons

  • Fuel Economy: The six cylinders deplete gasoline more quickly.
  • Technology and Entertainment: It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles of newer models.

- Sue Dexter, 2012 Subaru Forester

A fun & functional vehicle.

I believe the Forester has a sweet balance of size, function, and fuel economy.

Pros

  • Fuel Economy: Great mileage for an all wheel drive wagon.
  • Weather Versatility: All wheel drive contributes to better handling no matter what the weather is.
  • Visibility: The seating position, hood contour, and pillar placement all allow for great visibility while driving.
