My car accelerates quickly and I get good gas mileage (26.7 mpg) on a mix of city-highway driving. I appreciate the luxury inside - heated leather seats, dual zone climate controls, heated steering wheel, navigation, upgraded audio system, and all the different ways I can listen to music (regular radio, Sirius XM radio, CD, iPod, Pandora). I decided to upgrade to Limited and added on the upgraded Harmon Kardon audio package, heated steering wheel, and other upgrades so it's almost a Touring level vehicle. This is my 5th Subaru and replaced my 2010 Forester Premium. After 19 years, this is a whole new driving experience and I'm lovin' every minute. I'm hopeful that the 2020 Forester will have good reliability over time. There is plenty of cargo space where I can plug in my Subaru cooler. Tire pressure reading is available with the click of a button instead of checking tires with a gauge. The Subaru "A" button allows for an automatic shut-off of the engine as a gas saver when idling at intersections, but can be turned off each time the vehicle is started (an option that cannot be turned off in some GM's). The ride is smooth and the seats are extremely comfortable for anyone with a lumbar/back problem.
You don't get the road noise in the Forester which is more common to Hondas. I'm usually on the interstates daily and have no problem accelerating right on to them at a pretty good clip. I disagree with reviewers who say this vehicle is lacking in power.
The reclining rear seats and cup holder console make it a plus for passengers and another plus is the rear privacy glass. It sits a bit higher off the ground which makes for easier getting in/out for older passengers. The vehicle is a bit taller and longer than my old Forester. It has also a child safety reminder so infants are not forgotten in rear seats. The eye sight assist and front and rear cameras are additional safety features (these do need to be turned off while going through a carwash). The driver's seat has front, side and knee air bags.
What attracted me to the vehicle was its safety rating. At first glance the interior cabin resembled a mini cockpit! The 2020 Forester has a CD player and plenty of USB ports! Love the keyless entry as well. I went with the Premium because I didn't want leather seats in the hot mid-west. In late January I purchased a Forester Premium with two upgrade packages. I bought my 1st Subaru Forester Limited 19 years ago.
