2019 Subaru Forester Sport Review
The all-new 2019 Subaru Forester adds a new model and a raft of new features to an already popular on and off-road crossover vehicle. Can the new technology, safety and comfort keep up with the competition like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V? In this video we take a look at the mid-range Sport model, which features blacked out details, orange highlights and a Forester-exclusive S# SI-Drive mode. |

Same here!!! Just picked up a 19 sepia bronze premium and after being a little sad a couple of days for trading my 16' WRX Im starting to really fall in love with her!
Came on here hoping to find a forum already loaded with info, sadly I find none. Did I miss the thread (im terrible w searching/finding the right info here)? |

I was excited until I heard one of the review say 0-60 is 10 sec?
How slow can they be in 2019? What the hell, Subaru. I guess okay if you do a lot of offroading and crawling. |

I like them. My only beef? They have one tailpipe but cutouts for two.

only thing that sets this apart is it has a Sport # option. and the price tag. everything else is aesthetic.

I want a Sport, but the rates suck and have sucked on that model for a few months now.
February 2019 Lease Rates for 36/15K .00080 MF and 59% residual (Forester Premium) (~ 1.9% interest) .00135 MF and 59% residual (Forester Sport) (~ 3.24% interest) .00045 MF and 58% residual (Forester Limited) (~ 1% interest) .00035 MF and 57% residual (Forester Touring) (~0.8% interest) I believe the Limited actually ends up being ~$40 cheaper a month and the Touring can end up being about the same as the Sport. Financing on the Forester is 3.49%. |

Hummm.. I'm going to take a look in a couple of weeks to buy the Sport with the HK stereo and electric gate. My local dealer says they have a bunch of Sports coming in, but I'm worried they have the recalled Hitachi electric steering bits from Dec/Jan production. I want them to either replace the parts before taking delivery or just get a new batch post-recall.
I'm going to be paying cash so as long as I get a good price I do not care. I rarely buy cars on a loan or lease. |

So I checked out the Sport my dealer had and while it was cool, it looked kinda clunky (or chunky) to me.. like a cheap Casio watch/Tonka feel especially the interior.
They had a Limited on display and I think I might do that instead. I'm probably just too old for that Sport appearance demographic. |

Lots of other brand SUVs are now offering turbo models and Subaru decide to drop theirs when they already have the engine ready to drop in????
The reviews I have read the stability and handling of the new Forester is really good and better than most of its competitors! |

I like the look of the sport it is just a shame that it’s a dog. So many companies now are offering sporty suvs that are actually fast...Subaru has been doing this for a while and now that it seems like theres a decent market for it they suddenly drop the xt? Just seems like a big mistake to me since everyone wants a cross over these days...

We've got a 19 Forester Sport and quite appreciate the eyesight features, though the windshield does seem too fragile - small rocks have already caused large cracks twice in the year and a half of ownership.
