CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Subaru Forester
Summary
With 200 currently listed for sale and an average price of $15,010 CAD, 31.5% of 2017 Subaru Foresters for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Subaru Forester 4.67 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2017 Forester models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact SUV that leans hard into safety, visibility, and everyday usability. In its generation, Subaru gave the Forester a more modern, sculpted design, improved aerodynamics, and larger windows for better visibility, while also moving it to stiffer mechanical underpinnings that improved ride, stability, handling, and crash protection. It also came with standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, and Subaru’s EyeSight system was standard across the range, bringing adaptive cruise control, Pre-Collision Braking, lane departure and sway warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.
For buyers, the 2017 model year offers a well-rounded mix of comfort and capability rather than outright excitement. Power came from an updated 2.5-litre boxer engine with 182 hp and 176 lb-ft, paired with a CVT and AWD. The trim walk included useful equipment such as a panoramic power moonroof, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and, on higher trims, an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The Touring trim added a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat and roof rails, while the Sport trim brought a more aggressive look with dark trim, orange accents, and 18-inch black alloy wheels.
There are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The Forester was praised for refinement and practicality, but the turbocharged XT and manual transmission were gone, which removed some of its sportier appeal. Some owners also reported wind noise at highway speeds in earlier models, though that improved in later years. Even so, the 2017 Subaru Forester remains appealing for shoppers who want a roomy, confidence-inspiring SUV with strong safety credentials and standard AWD.

I fell in love with this car at first sight. I drove and considered a 2025 Forester to compare and could not move to 2025. The 2017 Forester is friendly, bright, wide visibility, you sit high in it, it has a smooth ride and has all the basics that you need. My particular pre-owned model had a quality I cannot describe that is probably due to the previous owner but it is a perfect car. I would not hesitate to buy at 2017 Forester, unless it is truly toward the end of its life.

Excellent value for the money, the moon roof extends back to the third row and is my favorite feature. Very kid friendly, and exceptionally comfortable. Packed with all the creature comforts one could want in a vehicle.

It’s my first subaru and I’m already in love with the whole brand! The adaptive cruise control is one amazing feature, the cabin feels cavernous, and I feel glued to the road.

If you live in an area where 4 wheel drive is a winter necessity the Subaru Forester fills that need with comfort and stability. The all wheel drive (AWD) that never shuts off gives more sure footed traction Winter and Summer. It doesnt matter if you buy the basic model or the luxury model the AWD and stability control are standard features.

How much does the 2017 Subaru Forester cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $15,003 CAD |
| Year-Round Low | $14,980 CAD |
| Year-Round High | $18,627 CAD |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $18,756 CAD |
| Change vs. Last Year | −20.01% |
Prices have softened 20.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.
There are 203 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of choice if you're comparing condition, mileage, and equipment.
Is the 2017 Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — the 2017 Subaru Forester earns a 4.67/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its exceptional safety features, spacious interior, and reliable all-wheel-drive capabilities, and many also value the comfort and technology it offers. For you, that makes it a sensible fit if you want a practical compact SUV that prioritises everyday usability, visibility, and confidence in all-weather driving. With 32.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful market opportunity if you shop carefully.
Is the 2017 Subaru Forester reliable?
Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback highlights reliable all-wheel-drive capability and a vehicle that many drivers feel they can count on for daily use. That said, some buyers mention concerns about hidden issues such as structural damage, so condition checks matter when you shop used. For long-term ownership, your risk is less about the model’s basic dependability and more about finding a well-maintained example with a clean history.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Subaru Forester?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can afford to be choosy without waiting forever.
- Deal availability: 32.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 203 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 20.01% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $14,980 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Subaru Forester's resale value?
The current average of $15,003 CAD sits slightly below last year's $18,756 CAD.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can make the Forester easier to buy now but may also limit upside for a future seller if values stay soft. If you own one, strong condition and a clean history will matter more when it comes time to resell. Well-kept examples should still appeal to shoppers who want a practical SUV with standard all-wheel drive and a reputation for safety.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Subaru Forester or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 32.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 20.01% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2017 is a strong choice if you want a practical, safety-focused compact SUV with standard all-wheel drive and broad owner approval. If your priority is value, this year looks especially appealing because pricing has eased and deal availability is decent. If you are shopping on a tighter budget, you may also want to compare nearby years for the best combination of price, condition, and equipment.
