Reviews for 2016 Subaru Forester
Great car in a small package
Perfect car for hauling a small amount and very comfy. Also, the turbo is excellent for zipping around when you need to.
Pros
- Power: The Forester XT is fantastic and is a lot faster than you’d expect.
- Fuel Economy: Doesn’t guzzle gas like a few other of the smaller SUVs or crossovers
- Ride and Handling: Subaru vehicles always handle extremely well with AWD
Cons
- Technology and Entertainment: Subaru is notorious for having awful infortainment systems and this is no different.
- Cargo Space: I wish there was a bit more storage in the cargo area but it’s to be expected with a smaller vehicle like this one.
- Cost to Maintain: I haven’t had to yet, but servicing the turbo isn’t going to be cheap, among other things.
Best Decision I made!
This SUV is the perfect height for me. I don’t like climbing up into a truck or climbing down to get into my old car. The height of the Subaru is perfect so I can just slide into my seat, no more climbing!
Pros
- Technology and Entertainment: We wanted all the bells & whistles, this car has them!
Great car and at an affordable price
It's All-Wheel-Drive so it handles well on just about any surface. The cabin noise is very low. The acceleration power is better than I expected. Great gas mileage. I feel comfortable and safe in this SUV.
Pros
- Cabin Noise: It's a quiet ride in town and on the freeway.
- Power: It gets up to speed very quickly.
