Kbb.com Expert Rating
You'll Like This Car If...
If you like equal parts sport and utility in your SUV, the Forester is maneuverable in the city, yet roomy and capable enough for weekend excursions off the beaten path. You’ll also like its low starting price, standard AWD, respectable towing ability, top-rated safety and reliability, and turbo option.
You May Not Like This Car If...
If you want six cylinders, seven seats or rear-seat entertainment, the Forester is not for you. And although a 5-speed manual transmission is standard on the base and 2.5X Premium models, a SportShift automatic with just four speeds is the only transmission choice on the upper-trim levels or any of the turbocharged models.
