Subaru Forester Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Subaru Forester rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Subaru Forester reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

Successful Repair Trips per Year (per 100 vehicles)
Year	Make	Model	Trips / Year per 100	TS	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2010	Subaru	Forester	28 Fewest         Most		37 5.9 6500

We also have some new reliability stats for the Subaru Forester. "Nada-odds" reports the percentage that required no repairs at all, not even a minor one--nada--in the past year, while "Lemon-odds" reports the percentage that required three (or more) repair trips.

Nada-odds     cars per 100 with no repairs (nada) in the past year; 100 is ideal Lemon-odds     cars per 100 with 3+ repair trips in the past year; 0 is ideal
Year	Make	Model	Nada-odds per 100 cars	Lemon-odds per 100 cars	Cars Mon/Car Av Odo
2009	Subaru	Forester	79	2	43 11.8 19700

To see how the Subaru Forester's Nada-odds and Lemon-odds compare to competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Subaru Forester--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

"Why (Not) the Subaru Forester?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Forester--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Subaru Forester review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Subaru Forester Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Subaru Forester tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Subaru Forester--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
