What Our Members Are Saying about Subaru Forester Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Subaru Forester: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Generally seems like a well built car (except the silver plastic trim on the dash). |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Well though out materials. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Quality all around; nice interior materials which have proved durable as well. Fit and finish are excellent. Exterior has held up well also. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Subaru Forester: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I fully agree with previous report/survey: hard plastics on this generation for dashboard |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
After seeing the upgrade in material quality in actual Legacy from previous gen Legacy I would have hoped that the dash and door panel of the 2009 Forester were of the same high quality plastics. Plastics of the Forester feel thin and are scratch prone. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Dash and headliner prone to squeaks and rattles, too much easy-to-scratch hard plastic. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
We needed to replace the struts just before the warranty expired. We also needed to replace the ball joints, the bearings quite a bit. There was an issue with leak in the motor but that was under warranty and it was fixed. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
After 50k miles, lots of ticks and clicks from dashboard panels and rear panels. |
