        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.

        Overall, a great suv

        by Coco on Sunday, February 01, 2026

        I have owned the 2025 Subaru Forester Sport Hybrid for almost a year now. We just had a massive snowstorm so I’m able to write about how it has fared in bad winter conditions. I previously had a Mazda CX5 for almost 11 years and I loved that SUV. But I wasn’t crazy about the 2025 model which had me looking at other SUVs. Both of these SUVs have mostly pros and very few cons. Pros: The hybrid version makes the interior cabin ultra quiet. I can barely tell the car is on even when it switches to gas mode. The Forester is more powerful than the CX5, making driving more enjoyable. I know I’m in the minority here, but I actually like their infotainment screen and I like its location. The CX5 had the screen in the center dashboard. I like the location of the Forester; I don’t have to raise my arm up high. I like the large screen, especially when viewing my maps. I like the exterior look of the forester, and the river rock gray color is so good at hiding dirt. I get compliments on the color and the bronze hubcaps all the time. The Harman Karmon sound system is amazing, even better than the Bose I had with the Mazda. The backup camera is great at detecting cars coming from far away and alerts me with plenty of notice. The Forester is more comfortable for long distance drives, compared to the CX5. I comfortably drove six hours. I wish the drivers seat was a little longer, but I have long upper legs. The Forester absorbs bumps on the road extremely well. Defroster works quickly and is strong. Heated seats get very warm. Cons: There is one major thing about the Forester that I don’t like and it’s the sport-tech trim seats (Basically a faux leather). It’s awful in summertime. It holds onto heat and the seats are super hot when the temperature outside reaches over 85°. My back gets sweaty driving a short distance, even early in the morning. This one reason will likely have me trading this car in sooner than I normally would. I highly suggest opting for either cloth or leather seats, stay away from the sport tech trim. I also wish the trunk were a little bit larger, and the backseat area was a little bit smaller. I’m not sure the Forester is very well insulated. I can feel pockets of cold air coming in around the gearshift. Which also explains why the interior must get so hot in the summertime. While, I’m happy to have the latest safety features, they can feel like a bit too much sometimes. Another con is that there is a lag when phone calls come in. After I accept the call, I have to wait about 3 seconds before saying hello. Otherwise, they will not hear me answer the call. As someone else mentioned, cupholder location is bad; This needs improved. Winter weather. We just got about 15 inches of snow in southwestern Pennsylvania last week. This area of the country is very hilly. I felt more in control with the Forester than I did the CX5. It grips the road better and plows through snow more easily. It has Normal mode, snow mode, and deep snow mode. Snow mode was great and helpful. Deep snow mode was a little tricky to use and made driving more challenging, I need to research this mode more. The windshield for the Forester is much closer to my face than the CX5. This has taken some getting used to, I definitely preferred the location and slanting of the CX5 windshield better. Is the hybrid version worth the extra money? Hard to say. I definitely fill my tank up less, but not significantly. I do love the whisper quietness of the hybrid. I believe I’m getting 34 miles per gallon. And, it’s better for the environment, so that’s a win. Overall, this is a good SUV. It feels safe and the ride is very smooth. It’s powerful, comfortable, accelerates very quickly and easily, has a great sound system. The pros very easily outweigh the cons.

        Nice suv

        by Bart on Sunday, February 22, 2026

        This is my first Subaru. Great suv for anyone that wants AWD and good MPG. I drove 250 miles on a half a tank got like 33 mpg around 70 mph safe car handling is great around turns. Not a fast suv but it will do speed limit easy. Comfortable ride. Wish the heater and AC controls were like the old ones kind of annoying looking down at the screen for that. But other than that it’s a good all around suv.
