Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Subaru Forester lineup includes two additional trim levels, the Sports 2.5 X and Sports 2.5 XT, which offer a hip styling motif inside and out. In other news, all Foresters except the base 2.5 X model get an upgraded CD player with MP3, WMA and CD-RW capability. It's also Sirius Satellite Radio-ready and has an auxiliary jack for connecting handheld MP3 players. Additionally, the base 2.5 X gains electronic brakeforce distribution, while the Forester XT Limited gets standard 17-inch wheels. The front door panels in all Subaru Foresters now have bottle holders, and the base engine now meets the PZEV standard in California and the Northeastern states. Lastly, the turbo engine has been re-rated for 224 horsepower.

• Class-leading crash test scores, standard all-wheel drive, rides and handles like a car, powerful turbo engine.

• Tight legroom in the backseat, too much road noise at highway speeds.

  Not Bad At All - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By ATC - October 17 - 4:13 pm

  Im only 52"... not a lot of cars out there that can provide me with much needed comfort for visibility... But the Forester has changed it all. It is a joy to drive at all the times but up to a 45 degree up hill to the high way from a complete stop. I have the most joy driving through the severe snow storms!!! Unbelievable control in 6" snow! LOVE IT!

  Very happy with the Forester! - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By BD - August 3 - 11:50 pm

  I bought this car used, when it was 18 months old. It has met or exceeded all of my expectations. Its fun to drive, comfortable on long trips, no problems at all. The driver controls are well laid out, the amenities are convenient, the engine power of my base model is more than adequate. The storage space is great! Its very fun to drive and makes me happy on a daily basis.

  Forester - Fun! - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By Jay Johnson - July 28 - 11:23 am

  The Forester is a fun vehicle. It feels safe and capable, making wet or icy conditions a breeze. Cargo space is abundant, allowing space for necessities and toys. A bicycle will fit inside without removing a wheel. The one we have is my wifes; I want another one for myself.

  One week - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By Linda Lee - July 16 - 1:23 pm

  I like the "evenness" or the ride and the feeling of good control. It went off the road (2 tires on pavement, 2 on dirt) to avoid a head-on collision with no loss or compromise of control. I especially like the moonroof feature - perhaps I noticed this because it is summer and it hasnt rained yet. I like the built in audio aux jack.

  We now have a pair - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By Barry M - May 20 - 10:00 am

  Bought a 1998 Forester after only owning American cars. It now has 120K on it and Im still driving it. The LL Bean has all the features including a sunroof that is larger than any Ive seen, almost a convertible! The heated leather seats are my wifes favorite feature. My favorite feature is the cargo space (the LL Bean has the "tuff stuff" liner for durability) and the handling. No other car does AWD better. It laughs at Midwest winters. The new climate control is a good feature along with all the cup holders a man could want. The 6 disk sound system that plays MP3s is great, I dont hear the same tune for weeks! This wont be the last of the Foresters in our family.

  Forester rating - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By SCK - April 24 - 11:30 pm

  This is my second Forester. The first was a 2000S model. Not too many changes in features as far as I can see from a performance standpoint but it is a little noisier car. The suspension has changed and I dont find the ride to be as smooth. It seems to be a little sluggish once you take your foot off of the gas; sort of pulls back a little. I am, and always will be sold on the AWD feature and thats why I bought another one. It handles wonderfully in the snow. Not too sure of how it does in the rain. Havent had the chance to tell yet.

  Sporty, Fun to drive, Corners, Off Road - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By DesertRider - April 15 - 1:40 pm

  Owned for 1 month. Lots of fun to drive - corners like a sports car, gets decent mileage - and will climb like a 4WD vehicle. I tested it at the dealer on a nasty climb, and it shone. The responsiveness, compared to the Toyota RAV4, sold me. Gas mileage not as good as rated, but still decent. Averaging 20 - 21 with city driving. Its just plain fun to drive (even though its not the turbo) and I find I like it more, day by day. I wanted 1. Good gas mileage. 2. The ability to carry things/tow. 3. Off road capability. 4. Reliability. I cant speak to the reliability yet, and Ive been working too much to wander in the backcountry offroad - but on the other two counts, thus far, it delivers.

  Best Car Yet - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By Johns Forester - March 10 - 12:43 pm

  The ride in this 2007 Forester is terrific, and apparently Subaru has made some minor changes that customers wanted: theres a holder for the iPod, for instance, and road noise is minimal. Ive been driving small SUVs for about 10 years, and this is the best car yet--best handling, most comfortable,and best looking.

  Whoop-de-do - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By Dave - February 22 - 9:53 pm

  I now have 54000 miles on my Subaru with no major problems. The carpet on the drivers side and the heavy rubber floor mat did wear through at 32000 miles but was replaced under warranty. Just replaced the tires with Yoko Geolander A/T-S. THIS is the tire that should have from the factory.

  Our second scooby - 2007 Subaru Forester
  By tscascade1 - January 3 - 10:33 am

  For those looking for a purely utilitarian vehicle, this is it. It eats up anything wet, snowy, or off pavement. Great for outdoorsy families. The unfortunate drawbacks are the ride quality and the noise. When driving this car I sometimes feel like the thing is on a Jell-o mold. The body roll,the acceleration squat, and the brake dive is annoying. It is also grossly underpowered for a 3200 pound cube. If you can bring yourself to do it, settle for the 4-speed automatic. The M/T feels like a broomstick connected to a pillow. Fortunately, it comes in turbo trim and may be worth the premium fuel cost to get the motor & suspension upgrades. In the end, at its price point, nothing comes close!
