2016 Subaru Forester Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2016 Subaru Forester generally appreciate its smooth ride, spacious interior, and excellent safety features. Many drivers favor the all-wheel drive for winter conditions and the overall performance of the vehicle. However, some concerns were raised about the durability of the touch screen and the high mileage for the price in certain listings."
Great car handled well well maintained and kept beautiful interior
July 29, 2026We love our new/used. Subaru Forester. We loved our Subaru Impreza, but it ha d done it’s duty. Trading it in for the Forester is wonderful. We know we can relay on Subaru’s amazing all wheel drive to easily and confidently drive in the winter. We really appreciate having a bit more cargo space for long car camping trips. Love our new Subaru!
June 16, 2024A feature-rich vehicle with an excellent safety profile. Recommended, but close attention to service records is crucial. A prime weakness is in the durability of the touch screen.

September 4, 2021It’s a smooth ride and one of the safest vehicles. It is spacious on the inside and feels like a nice and fancy car without being too high tech or sports car-like. Great space for cargo too! Highly recommend!
September 28, 2023Plenty of leg, head room, nice pick up, smooth ride
June 14, 2020This car was just what I was looking for. I love the sun roof. The all wheel drive and the way the car floats down the freeway. Plenty of power. Great gas mileage. Automatic lift gate at the touch of a button.
May 7, 2024While it may not have the capacity to do Android Auto or Apple CarPlay without changing the head unit, it otherwise a great value.
January 24, 2023Fun car to drive with the best safety features
February 15, 2022Good features, too many miles for the price. Would have taken a look for less $$$
