Why it stands out
The 2023 Subaru Forester is a rational rather than emotional choice in the compact SUV class, and that character shows up in the way it is built around everyday usefulness. Standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance give it a practical edge, while its roomy interior and sizable cargo hold make it easy to live with. Subaru also continues to refine the Forester this year with next-generation EyeSight safety features and an improved standard infotainment system.
That focus on function comes with a few trade-offs. The 2023 Subaru Forester still lacks a turbocharged engine option or an electrified drivetrain, and its engine is described as underwhelming. The voice recognition is also poor, and the back seat is uncomfortable, so buyers drawn to the Forester are likely doing so for its safety, value, and everyday versatility rather than for excitement.

Solid drive and comfortable ride. Reasonable value. More acceleration power is always welcome to have… but as it is, it’s already sufficient power for my needs. I’ve test driven RAV4 hybrid, CRV, CX5 and Sportage. Except for the overpriced RAV4 hybrid, the rest of the cars i tested didn’t fare well with me.

This is my first Subaru purchase. I decided on it after driving my husbands 2022 Forester. I absolutely love this car. It is a smooth ride and the safety features are great! Seats are comfortable and theres plenty of room! Its also got great pickup, which is something that was lacking from other similar cars I tested. Highly recommend this vehicle!

Great value for your money (provided you dont get scammed at the dealership) CVT is hard to swallow but that is only downside. Although power at 182hp on paper is adequate... drives and feels more powerful. Overall for the awd and safety... this is a great car!
