Why the Subaru Forester Is a Smart Used SUV Choice
The Forester has long been one of Subaru's most beloved SUVs. Its upright design delivers excellent outward visibility, while its compact footprint makes it easy to maneuver. Easily navigate tight parking lots, old neighborhoods and busy city streets.
Every pre-owned Forester comes with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a standard inclusion from the get-go. AWD is useful for driving on wet and sometimes sandy Florida roadways.
Florida drivers often appreciate how well the Forester balances interior space with efficient road manners. Forester is a strong option for both in-county commuting and longer drives shuttling between Gainesville and Jacksonville.
Features & Technology Vary by Year and Trim
Features and technology vary on Used Forester SUVs depending on model year and trim level. Recent Forester models offer Subaru EyeSight® driver-assist technology. The package may include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and pre-collision braking. Higher trims can add upgraded infotainment systems, premium audio, power-adjustable seating, and enhanced interior materials.
A major redesign launched with the 2019 Forester bringing improvements to ride comfort, safety systems, and interior layout. The updates made later model years extra attractive to used SUV buyers. Later, smaller updates added refinements to infotainment and made advanced safety features more available.
