Dealer Description

With a fairly plush ride, the Forester is a comfortable all-day cruiser. Even full-throttle acceleration doesn't significantly disturb the Forester's cabin, which remains impressively impervious to tire, wind and engine noise. Great gas mileage: 32 MPG Hwy. Subaru is famous for not having the best exterior design as Germans, but let me tell you, we leased 12 cars in 15 years. I drove from Honda Civic up to Audi A4 and BMW X3. All people complain about turbo lag on turbo engines but on Subaru it is almost not present. CVT transmission makes this car fast having linear acceleration with few time between the demand for an increase in power. Subaru has many years of experience in rallies with turbo engines, while other brands such as Mazda, Ford and Toyota have poor experience (check reviews on turbo problems for 2017-2018 Mazda Cx-9 and also for Lexus cars). I changed wheels for a wider ones and it looks great and performs better (it has a greater offset). Now, due to its boxy design cargo area is amazing. Lots of visibility and room. Interior design is simple but logic. All controls are placed in the right spot. Also Eye technology has many years on the market. Subaru is the pioneer on it, and it works great! My sister is starting to have problems with the Honda sensing technology on her brand new 2017 CRV. Her car stops by itself with no reason (it seems suffers from shadowing). Sound system (Harman and Kardon) is great with huge bass. However, no car is perfect. Subaru needs to improve seats. Those are very flat and not comfortable for long trips. I hope the new Ascent will have better seats. Getting 22 MPG in city on premium for a 250HP car is great. Magazines such as Car and Driver and MotorTrend do not like to mention this car or compare to others because it will beat many common competitors such as Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4 or Tucson. Any of them offer a real powerful engine to compete with Subaru Forester XT. This is my second XT in 3 years. It is a great SUV making a balance among price, performance and reliability (XT model is still assembled in Japan!).
