It is a reliable vehicle. It has great gas mileage. The back seats fold down. It has cruise control. It has front and back windshield wipers. It has vents in the back seat so you can feel the air conditioner and heat and be able to control it.
It tells you when the tire pressure is low and when the air is checked in the tires you have to press the reset button instead of it resetting by itself. It comes with only a radio and does not include a CD player or cassette player.
It is easy to drive, low maintenance, and very comfortable. There's plenty of room in the back seats as well as in the trunk. I like the front dashboard layout and the rear view camera that helps when you are backing out or into a parking area.
I dislike the trunk hatch. When you open the hatch after it has rained and/or is raining, the water drips off the trunk onto your head. I cannot think of any other cons about this vehicle. It is the second one I have owned and I'd buy it again.
Honda resale value, low maintenance, features offered for price. I like the driver assist, heated seats, the display for maps, rear backup camera and cargo area net and cover up. It is easy to drive and the gas mileage is good.
None. I have no complaints with this vehicle. I do however have a smaller SUV which is easier for me to get around in and park. I do preferred the larger SUV for long trips because of more storage room.
The LX model is cheaper than the other models offered for this SUV. It has great gas mileage, powered windows, AC, Bluetooth and USB connections, rear camera view for backing up, good trunk space and back seats fold all the way down for more trunk space if needed.
The only con I have encountered with this vehicle is the gear stick button broke and popped out on its own. It happened within the same year I got it which normally would have been covered through warranty but in my case I passed the mileages for the warranty due to the distance I have to travel for work.
The car is one of the only ones we could find with a Manual transmission. Room for dog in the back plus humans in the back seat. Comfortable. Good in the snow with good snow tires. We've had no problems with the VT winters.
At times, it can feel that it lacks power. Just needs that extra push going uphill that's what it lacks. Other than that, there are no significant cons of my current vehicle. I do not have anything else to discuss.
Nimble. Good in snow. Small but roomy. Great for hauling 'stuff'. Great visibility. Styling is not exiting but allows it to blend into the rest of the environment. Gas mileage ok and the size of the gas tank allows me to only have to fill it up every six days. The seats heat up very quickly.
It takes 20 minutes for the car to heat up in the winter. Headrests in passenger back seats obscure vision. Air conditioner had a leak but it was still under warranty. The back windshield wiper fluid stopped working after a couple years. When parking and placing car in reverse (stick), the clutch has popped out causing the car to roll across the parking lot.
Love the features. Touch screen map/audio. Rear-view camera. 4-Wheel drive. Cruise control, spatial awareness, and blind spot lights. Durable. Lots of automatic features. X mode. Good for mountain driving.
I honestly do not think there are any major cons with this vehicle. I really enjoy driving it, and would for sure consider buying another Subaru. I think the only thing I have noticed is the lack of a spot for sunglasses.
High safety ratings and great gas mileage. The car is easy to drive and park. Lots of cargo room in the back. The back passenger area has ample leg room for adults. The Bluetooth is easy to pair as is the garage door opener.
The seats are uncomfortable on long trips. There could be more padding in the seats. The light colored interior is harder to keep clean with pets. There have been a few recalls. Mice have entered the interior of the car with the car being closed up. This is my second Forester and I really like it. I have been happy with Subaru for the most part.
