Notes from the dealer
We've just taken in a 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium SUV - it is finished in Dark Gray Metallic, with a Gray cloth interior. Showing 137,344 miles, this Forester is powered by a fuel-efficient 2.5L 4-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a smooth 6-Speed CVT transmission and Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. With an EPA-estimated 24 MPG city and 32 MPG highway, it delivers the confidence of an SUV without sacrificing everyday efficiency.
This Forester comes with a two-owner history and is in good condition, making it an appealing choice for drivers looking for dependable all-weather capability, family-friendly versatility, and long-term value. Whether you are commuting through unpredictable weather, loading up for a weekend getaway, or simply tackling everyday errands, this Subaru feels right at home.
Slide behind the wheel and you will immediately appreciate the elevated seating position that provides an excellent view of the road ahead. The spacious cabin feels open and airy thanks to the panoramic power moonroof, allowing natural light to flood the interior and making every drive feel a little more adventurous. The 10-way power drivers seat with lumbar support helps you settle into a comfortable position, while heated front seats provide welcome warmth on cold mornings.
This Premium model is equipped with the sought-after All-Weather Package and EyeSight Driver Assist Technology package. Adaptive cruise control helps take the stress out of long highway drives by maintaining a comfortable distance from traffic ahead, while lane departure warning and pre-collision braking add an extra layer of confidence when life gets busy. A rear vision camera makes backing into tight parking spaces simple and reassuring.
Subaru built the Forester for drivers who refuse to let the forecast dictate their plans. The windshield wiper de-icer, heated exterior mirrors, all-season tires, and full-time AWD system work together to provide confident traction and visibility when conditions turn slippery. Whether you are navigating rain-soaked highways, snowy backroads, or gravel trails leading to your favorite campsite, this Forester is ready for the challenge.
Technology is thoughtfully integrated throughout the cabin. The STARLINK 7.0 Multimedia Navigation System features built-in navigation, Bluetooth hands-free calling, Bluetooth audio streaming, voice controls, HD Radio, SiriusXM capability, smartphone connectivity, dual USB ports, and a user-friendly touchscreen that keeps important information within easy reach. Steering wheel audio controls help keep your focus where it belongs - on the road ahead.
Practicality is another Forester strength. The generous cargo area, cargo tray, luggage compartment cover, cargo net, and versatile 60/40 split-folding rear seats make it easy to carry everything from groceries and sports equipment to camping gear and luggage. Roof rails add even more flexibility for bikes, kayaks, or extra cargo when adventure calls.
At Huebner Chevrolet Subaru, we believe buying a vehicle should be straightforward and enjoyable. We offer transparent pricing, flexible financing options, available protection plans, and free delivery within 150 miles. If you have been searching for an affordable AWD SUV with advanced safety technology, outstanding versatility, and Subaru dependability, this Forester deserves a closer look.

I like it

Bought my 2016 Forester new and got about $4k off the sticker price. I maintain it very well and do the work myself. I’ve had to replace the shift safety interlock mechanism at around 80k miles, due to occasionally being unable remove the key from the ignition; replaced rear wheel hub at 130k miles; replaced infotainment head (radio) at about 100k miles. Biggest disappointment is the mediocre a/c that doesn’t blow very cold when it is really hot outside. It’s a very easy car to work on and maintain. New cars today are way overpriced, and I dislike the over abundance of angst inducing “safety” features so I’m going to keep my Forester and swap out the engine and trans. with salvage yard replacements when my engine and trans. give up the ghost. - 4.0
Mostly enjoyed it until the computer began failing

Bought my "Pearl" '17 Subaru Forester used in 2020 or 21. The best things about it, hands down, were the great visibility from the big windows, high safety rating, ground clearance and rear passenger legroom + cargo space. It got decent gas mileage for mostly in-town driving. On the highway it had lousy road noise, so backseat passengers can't follow a conversation happening in front. I would have kept it until the wheels fell off, but the onboard computer started going haywire and the replacement cost was hefty for an 8 yo vehicle. Aside from road noise, my main complaints were the awful infotainment interface and tiny (useless) backup camera screen. So last November I decided to upgrade to the quieter, hybrid '21 Toyota Venza.
