2021 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring

Steve's Pick — Why We Bought This One

"146,000 km is higher than we usually carry on a Forester, and we make no apologies for the price — it reflects that. This specific example came with a meticulous service history and passed Ivan's extended inspection without hesitation. For a buyer who's done the research and knows what a properly maintained Forester is worth at this mileage, this is an excellent entry point into the model."

— Steve Van Dam, Owner

Edmunds highlights the 2021 Forester's excellent standard safety features, generous cargo room, and all-weather AWD as the reasons it's a top compact SUV pick.
