Edmunds.com 2010 Subaru Forester Overview
Vehicle Overview from Edmunds.com
"Subaru owners are clearly a fiercely loyal bunch. The brand's commercial showing an owner habitually going from one beloved Forester to the next is no exaggeration. The reasons why, though, are a bit harder to discern. Perhaps..." Read more
2010 Subaru Forester Review
Foul weather capable and enjoyable to drive.
"The Subaru Forester offers foul weather capability with its all-wheel-drive system and it excels on unpaved roads and in other less-than-perfect driving conditions. Forester is stable and rugged off road, while there are no harsh spots to the highway ride. Overall, the Forester compares favorably to the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and other compact SUVs." Read more

2009 Subaru Forester Review
All-new, bigger, roomier.
"Redesigned, the 2009 Subaru Forester offers more than ever before, for less money. It's slightly longer and wider, and has a good bit more rear seat legroom and cargo space. Its 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine is handicapped by a four-speed automatic transmission, more so in the base engine than the turbocharged version (which requires premium fuel). It's stable and rugged off road, using its proven all-wheel drive and a new rear suspension to good advantage, while there are no harsh spots to the hi" Read more

"The Subaru Forester has long been an offbeat entrant in the compact crossover SUV class; in fact, we weren't sure it technically belonged in that class. While some of its competitors featured jacked-up ride heights and butch ae..." Read more

Vehicle Overview from Kelley Blue Book
" YOU'LL LIKE THIS CAR IF...
If you like your SUVs to be true to the "Utility" in "Sport Utility Vehicle," while still being small enough to comfortably maneuver in a city, the Forester may be the vehicle for you. With a low starting price, standard AWD, proven reliability, more towing power than many others in its class and great visibility all around, there's certainly a lot to love.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF...
If you want a V6 engine, room for seven or rear-seat entertainment, the 2009 Subaru Forester may not be for you. And although a manual transmission is offered, the automatic is the only transmission available with the turbocharged engine." Read more
2007 Subaru Forester Review
New Sports models.
"Even as crossover SUVs proliferate, few can match the versatility built into the Subaru Forester. Forester brings it all, or almost all: great all-weather, all-road capability, solid dynamic performance on pavement, passenger/cargo flexibility, lots of useful features, fuel economy, lots of safety equipment and good crash-test scores at a reasonable price. It can even be fun to drive. And now, thanks to the new Sports 2.5 XT, you can have the visceral rush of the turbocharged Limited for almost $2,000 less" Read more
2006 Subaru Forester Review
Significant improvements for a versatile vehicle.
"Even as quot;crossoverquot; vehicles proliferate, few can match the versatility built into the Subaru Forester. Forester brings it all, or almost all: great all-weather, all-road capability, solid dynamic performance on pavement, passenger/cargo flexibility, lots of useful features, fuel economy, lots of safety equipment and good crash-test scores at a reasonable price. It can even be fun to drive. The turbocharged XT Limited delivers acceleration that's a visceral rush." Read more
2004 Subaru Forester Review
Recently redesigned, now with a turbo option.
"When it comes to versatility there's no vehicle like the Subaru Forester. It has it all: performance, reliability, economy and function. Subaru's engineering and track record are exceptional." Read more
2003 Subaru Forester Review
New design brings more room, better handling.
"The 2003 Subaru Forester has been greatly improved over last year's model, which was a capable, versatile vehicle. Neither the sexiest nor the most functional car on the dealer lot, the Forester matches Subaru engineering with the best features of the economy car, wagon, and SUV to make a vehicle that has the best of all worlds, but belongs to none. We appreciated the Premium Package with its leather interior trim and moonroof." Read more
2002 Subaru Forester Review
Ready for snow, dirt roads, and pavement.
"Subaru Forester offers excellent dirt road and winter weather performance. On dry paved roads, it offers performance and handling comparable to a sporty compact. Its off-road capability approaches that of a sport-utility vehicle, yet it provides more driver confidence on tricky mountain roads with superior braking and handling performance." Read more
2001 Subaru Forester Review
All-weather, light-terrain capability with carlike handling.
"Subaru Forester offers excellent dirt road and winter weather performance. On dry paved roads, it offers performance and handling comparable to a sporty compact. Its off-road capability approaches that of a sport-utility vehicle, yet it provides more driver confidence on tricky mountain roads with superior braking and handling performance." Read more
