Improved Ride and Comfort
by River Rock on Tuesday, July 08, 2025
Purchased my 2025 Subaru Forester Sport and love the new body style and interior improvements of a quieter and more comfortable ride. This is my 4th Forester and so far the best one. I also got the optional package that has the power lifgate and the Harmon Kardon 11 speaker sound system which is well worth it since previous stock audio was not good. This one Rock's 🤟 I have always got Great trade in value from my Forester's which is a plus when purchasing a new vehicle. My only negatives are the infotainment takes time to get use to it and you have to look down to see it. And as others mentioned the cup holders seem to far back. - 1.0
Biggest car buying mistake I’ve ever made.
by Forester sucks on Saturday, December 13, 2025
500 miles into owning this 2025 Forester and I’m looking into trading it in and taking a massive loss. - massively inconsistent experience with acceleration. If I’m traveling 30 MPH and want to go 35 MPH, I have to press on the gas slightly more and wait 10 minutes or press harder and hear the engine rev so loudly you’d think I was drag racing. - the eyesight is a nightmare. I can be pulling into my driveway at a slow pace and it will slam the brakes as I approach my garage door, stopping 5 or more feet from it. I’m riding the brakes and going under 5MPH here. - The seats are miserable after anything more than 10 minutes driving. - I cannot believe this is even possible since it’s the simplest thing in the world, but the heat absolutely sucks. It always feels cold. - the touch screens and radio are an embarrassment to people with fingers. This is my first and last Subaru. - 5.0
2025 Model: What I've been waiting for!
by Saundra on Saturday, June 28, 2025
I've been waiting for the Forester become " boxy" again, and here it is in 2025! Seats are very comfortable, quiet cabin, good maneuverability. Drives smoothly, and have the option of Sport Mode for a more reactive feel. Very pleased!
