Subaru forester Buying Guide

What types of used Subaru Forester cars are there?

The Subaru Forester was one of the world’s first crossover SUVs when it came out in 1997, and it proved that simply putting an estate car’s body on a taller chassis could work well.

It’s had a few different trims, but now you can have it as the entry-level XE trim, Sport and top-spec XE Premium that gets a full sunroof to make it feel like a driving conservatory. Lovely.

What features does the Subaru Forester have?

The Subaru Forester is a car that’s built with the outdoors in mind, but it still packs a lot of handy tech in the interior.

Notably, the seven-inch touchscreen infotainment display features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with sat-nav available in mid-spec models.

There’s an extra screen included to monitor the Forester’s driving, and this is particularly useful when heading off-road. Each model is all-wheel drive as standard, too.

If you care about space then the 509-litre boot will be handy, and the cabin itself is spacious. The rear doors open at an angle to give easier access, and this is ideal if you’re moving a baby seat in and out of the car.

Is the Subaru Forester reliable?

The Subaru Forester was awarded the full five-star Euro NCAP rating, with an impressive 97% rating for adult occupants and 91% for children.

Overall, the Forester is highly rated for reliability and places high up on customer satisfaction surveys. Minimal issues seem to be reported in the first year of ownership, and reviews praise the efficiency and high-quality build.

There’s also evidence that the Forester is a strong workhorse even when racking up the mileage, so this is one you can trust for years to come. Subaru has long been considered a reliable brand that produce solid, high-quality vehicles.

How much does the Subaru Forester cost to run?

Due to the large size of the Forester and its four-wheel-drive capabilities, fuel efficiency might seem slightly lower than other SUVs.

You can expect around 34.7mpg WLTP from petrol options, with CO2 emissions of 154g/km. You’ll need to consider if the off-roading capabilities of this car are worth it and if you don’t mind paying a little bit more for fuel.

The Forester usually sits in insurance groups from 21 to 31, so it won’t be too pricey to get covered. Opt for one of the 2.0 petrol models if you want to make savings, as these are usually the cheaper option to insure.

Who is the Subaru Forester suitable for?

The Subaru Forester is ideal for families with a sense of adventure, boasting a spacious cabin, a 509-litre boot and off-roading abilities.

It’s best suited to motorists who think they’ll be getting muddy as often as they’ll be heading into the city – the best of both worlds.
