I love my 2018 Forester. I’m only 5’ and the seats are very comfortable. Don’t really like the Navigation - can’t seem to make it work. I have 2 friends who also have a Forester, all of ours are green... Read full review

Make Model Year
Subaru's popular Forester continues to put function in front of form. It stands out from the crowd, resisting the contemporary trend toward making SUVs look like sports coupes with descending rooflines and curvaceous bodies. Instead, the Forester aces the fundamentals with a space-efficient design, large windows, and big square doors. That recipe has resulted in the easiest access and the best view out of almost any vehicle, and one of the roomiest rear seats in the class, with copious head and leg room.
By adapting various fuel-efficient technologies, including using a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), the Forester delivers a class-leading 26 mpg overall and 35 mpg on the highway. Performance is decent from that standard 2.5-liter, 170-hp four-cylinder engine; an uplevel 2.0-liter, 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder XT version is available. Unlike most modern small SUVs, a manual transmission can be had, but only with the base engine and basic trim levels.
Advanced safety gear is readily available as part of Subaru's EyeSight suite of safety equipment, including lane-departure and forward-collision warning systems coupled with automatic emergency braking. All-wheel-drive is standard on all Foresters; it is very capable in wintry conditions.
The ride is supple -- one of the best in the segment. Handling is responsive and very secure, but the Forester isn't as agile as, say, the Ford Escape or Mazda CX-5.
Don't expect luxury inside; interior trim remains quite austere, with several especially cheap-looking touches. It's not particularly quiet inside either, with noticeable engine noise when accelerating. Updates for 2016 included a new touch-screen infotainment system that significantly improves the Forester's connectivity quotient; previous Foresters fell far behind the tech curve. 2017 brings more luxury features, like a heated steering wheel and blind-spot monitoring, plus added noise insulation and engine tweaks for minor fuel economy improvements.
Overall, if you're looking for a small SUV that's very functional and fuel-efficient, the Forester is hard to beat. It also offers a lot for the money. The mid-trim Forester 2.5i Premium has a huge sunroof, heated front seats, and a power driver's seat, all for about $29,000.
The 2018 Subaru Forester wins extra points for having a stripped-down, manual-gearbox model that’s a relatively bargain at the low end, and a wide variety of upscale features at the top end. The Forester Touring shouldn’t be mistaken for a luxury crossover, but the entire range represents good value for the money, and we rate it this year at 8 out of 10 points. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
The 2018 Subaru Forester can be ordered as a 2.5i model with base, Premium, Limited, and Touring trim levels, or a 2.0XT performance model in Limited and Touring versions only. Prices start just over $23,000 and go as high as $35,000. All versions have Bluetooth pairing, steering-wheel controls for the audio system, a 6.2-inch touchscreen for basic infotainment functions, and a rearview camera as standard.
Base models will be relatively rare, but the 2.5i Premium version hits the sweet spot in the crossover market. It adds a 10-way adjustable power driver's seat, reclining rear seatbacks, a panoramic power moonroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
The 6-speed manual gearbox is offered only on base and Premium models. The latter also gets the All-Weather Package, which includes heated front seats and side mirrors, plus a windshield-wiper deicer, if you order the manual (it’s optional on the more common CVT models).
A Black Edition trim package is newly available for Premium trims and it includes dark-finish wheels and special exterior accents.
Adding the turbo engine to make it a 2.0XT, the Premium trim includes larger brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a rear spoiler, 18-inch wheels, the All-Weather Package, and the X-Mode for the all-wheel-drive system.
Limited models bundle in the CVT and X-Mode, along with perforated leather trim on the seats, the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, automatic climate control, fog lights, the All-Weather Package, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, and a power liftgate. (Some features can be added as individual options on Premium models as well.
Top-of-the-line Forester Touring versions, however, are the only ones with a 440-watt premium audio system and eight speakers, the excellent one-touch folding rear seatback, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition, a heated steering wheel, and HID headlights with automatic height adjustment. The 2.0XT Touring also has torque vectoring.
