Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Subaru Forester 4.67 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 6.33 / 10.

Why it stands out
The 2017 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact crossover that aims to do a little of everything. It is presented as a vehicle that can travel almost anywhere without costing much money, while also offering impressive levels of safety and crash protection. That combination makes it appealing to buyers who want everyday usefulness, confidence in poor conditions, and a sensible ownership proposition.
What also makes the 2017 Forester distinctive is that it comes in two clearly different versions. The Forester 2.5i is described as the straightforward, sensibly priced choice that delivers what is good about the model, while the Forester 2.0XT adds power, performance, and a handful of exclusive features in an effort to bring more excitement. The tradeoff is that the more powerful version comes with both cost and compromise, so the right choice depends on what matters most to the buyer.
At the same time, the 2017 model is not portrayed as a major redesign, since it is said to receive only minor sprucing up and to be due for a significant overhaul. That gives the Forester a familiar, established character rather than a fresh one, but it also helps explain its appeal: it focuses on the strengths that matter most to many shoppers, even if it is nearing the end of its current run.

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.
