Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Subaru Forester gets mild equipment changes. Last year's Premium package is now considered a trim level and additionally includes a standard power driver seat. The L.L. Bean Edition trim level is no more, though it was actually discontinued midway through last year. The optional navigation system now includes Bluetooth connectivity.

• Standard all-wheel drive, roomy cabin with ample cargo space, comfortable ride, capable engines, excellent safety scores.

• Outdated four-speed automatic transmission, so-so fit and finish.

  Love it so far - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By DtotheR - June 12 - 1:16 am

  Had the car for about two months already and love driving it. Turning radius is awesome and it handles very well. I have two large dogs and love how Subaru has a gate to keep them in the back. The overall appearance inside and out are great. Power for a 4 banger is good. Overall am very pleased with this purchase.

  Great for the $$$$ - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By Mark Mandell - April 3 - 2:33 pm

  For awhile took some adjusting on my part because I often made the error of having the gearshift in the "sport" mode and was overtaxing the gas mileage by doing so. When I finally corrected that (grateful to my salesman for that) I simply shifted the gear to the correct position and that made all the difference. Being this car is an AWD and has the turbo feature, it handles all the roads very smoothly. Can even drive quite fast and wouldnt notice the difference. Not sure whether having a 5th gear would make a difference as many others have commented about. The factory installed radio is weak but I experienced the same thing with my last car, a Volvo.

  Great Ride - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By dru - February 1 - 1:36 am

  Ive only had this car for 2 1/2 weeks and I love it. I sold my 2002 Jeep Liberty 2wheel drive for this Subie and I love it. I live were it snows a lot and the all wheel drive is great. The car handles nicely. I had a rattle in the back but I just opened and closed all the doors and it went away. The radio is on the cheap side but I dont live in the car I just drive to work so it will do just fine. The passenger seat is a little low but thats a minor issue. all-in-all this is a great value for what you get in terms of safety and driving. There is also a lot of cargo space for a small SUV

  Excellent all around - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By Ken - December 11 - 4:46 pm

  This is a lot of car for the money. You will be pleased with the performance of the engine, the handling and tight turn circle, heated seats, enormous sunroof, creature comforts, automatic climate control, visibility and other features. The car is fun to drive. No rattles after 3500 miles. CR rated very high (top) in small SUV category. I definitely agree.

  Definitely Love my Subaru - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By rthomas18 - November 3 - 8:42 pm

  Bought my subaru in May 2010 - put 22,000 miles on it over the past 6 months -- 2500 where I was towing at the maximum capacity. I could not be happier with the performance. The seats could be more comfy, and yes - the cup holders absolutely suck (I was told by a guy in the service department to use a strip of foam-works pretty well). Its a great car at a great price - just wish they offered the leather interior w/the 5-speed!

  Love My Subaru! - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By Robin - October 18 - 12:00 am

  After test driving the CR-V, Saturn Vue, VW, Rav-4... the Subaru stands alone. Its quiet. A smooth ride and spacious interior. Its interior has a more harmonious feel than the rest. I have all the high end features without paying a high end price.

  Best value for money - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By dee - July 3 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my forester in April 2010 and I have no regrets. Its the best value for money. My car is loaded with Blue tooth, navigation, heated seats, satellite radio, remote start, auto dimming mirrors, fog lights, moon roof, leather seats, dvd player, cd player, ipod connections and its all wheel drive. Brand new it cost me less than 30,000. I live in new hampshire so I need a car that is great in the snow, rain, mud or dry road. So far the subie is perfect. I strongly recommend fully loading this vehicle if you plan to get it. You wont be able to enjoy all of these comforts in any other high quality new SUV for the price of a Subaru. I road trip in comfort and style. no problem

  Second Subie - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By Gryjmcgrath - June 28 - 3:50 pm

  I had a 2005 Forester and the head gasket blew last year at 167,000. Bought a cheap Jeep before X- mas and decided on another Forester this year. Rides like a go-cart and and gets great gas mileage. The awd is a necessity up North. The ability to press a button and lock em in is a great improvement. This rig is easy to park and will go most anywhere in any weather. Missed my old one...glad I got this one.

  Loyal Owner - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By juice - June 7 - 9:13 am

  Got this after owning a 98 model for many good years. Mileage had been good, we break 30 on trips. Like the perforated and heated leather seats, too. Good size for a family of 4 - small outside, big inside. Ours hasnt seen the dealership since we bought it, our salesman says we see him every 7 years, when its time to buy a new one. Id like to see them add Direct Injection and maybe the CVT from the Outback. All in all were happy and would buy the same car again.

  What A Gem! - 2010 Subaru Forester
  By A Real Gem! - May 18 - 6:40 am

  Recently purchased 08/24/2009 but already super impressed. Im a tank, and my wife is a little bitty woman but our Forrester fits us both with all the comfort we could ask for. I have gone over this vehicle with a fine tooth comb and could not find a single defect, try that with any of the big three American brands. I intend on driving this car for many years, since my trade was a 92 Explorer. Almost a years research went into my purchase decision, I could not beat the safety options, comfort options, and other features for the price. Other comparable vehicles would have cost much more. I have never been as impressed with a vehicle as I have with this one. I know I have made the best choice!
