    Notes from the dealer

    A one-owner 2017 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium with a clean title and just under 84,000 miles on the odometer, this is the kind of used Subaru that's spent its whole life close to home, working through lake-effect winters and everything Northeast Ohio driving throws at it. Whoever takes it on next is picking up a Forester that's been driven the way this class is meant to be driven: daily, dependably, and without much fuss.

    This Forester has had one owner since new, purchased in 2016 and registered in Ohio for its entire life, most recently averaging under 8,500 miles a year, well below the industry average. CARFAX reports one minor damage event, cosmetic in nature, noted in March 2018, with no indication it affected the vehicle's structure or operation. No total loss, no structural damage, and no airbag deployment are reported, and there's no indication of an odometer rollback. Service history shows nine recorded visits: regular oil and filter changes, tire rotations and replacements, a rear differential service, an alignment, and more in late 2020 that covered front and rear brake rotors, brake caliper service, a clutch replacement, and four new tires. The Forester passed Ohio emissions inspection in both 2023 and 2025, with the last reported odometer reading matching the mileage on this listing.

    One owner, a documented nine-visit service history, and a 6-speed manual transmission that's grown genuinely uncommon on a Forester make this a specific kind of find for the used Subaru shopper who wants three pedals and a clean history to back it up.

    Behind the wheel, this Forester pairs its 2.5-liter engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a combination that's become rare in the compact SUV class and one that driving purists specifically seek out for backroads through the Cuyahoga Valley or a run along Route 2. A panoramic power moonroof opens up the cabin, heated front seats and heated side mirrors handle the mornings when lake-effect snow rolls in, and a rearview camera with Bluetooth connectivity covers the daily-driving basics. Inside, cloth seating, a power driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support, and a full floor console with covered storage round out a cabin built for regular use. This Forester also carries aluminum wheels, splash guards, and a rear cargo tray, the kind of details that point to an owner who actually used it.

    EPA estimates for this configuration land at 22 city / 28 highway MPG.

      I like it

      by Mark on 11/27/2025 4:22:54 PM

      Bought my 2016 Forester new and got about $4k off the sticker price. I maintain it very well and do the work myself. I’ve had to replace the shift safety interlock mechanism at around 80k miles, due to occasionally being unable remove the key from the ignition; replaced rear wheel hub at 130k miles; replaced infotainment head (radio) at about 100k miles. Biggest disappointment is the mediocre a/c that doesn’t blow very cold when it is really hot outside. It’s a very easy car to work on and maintain. New cars today are way overpriced, and I dislike the over abundance of angst inducing “safety” features so I’m going to keep my Forester and swap out the engine and trans. with salvage yard replacements when my engine and trans. give up the ghost.…

      Mostly enjoyed it until the computer began failing

      by rbinsc on 11/10/2025 10:09:28 PM

      Bought my "Pearl" '17 Subaru Forester used in 2020 or 21. The best things about it, hands down, were the great visibility from the big windows, high safety rating, ground clearance and rear passenger legroom + cargo space. It got decent gas mileage for mostly in-town driving. On the highway it had lousy road noise, so backseat passengers can't follow a conversation happening in front. I would have kept it until the wheels fell off, but the onboard computer started going haywire and the replacement cost was hefty for an 8 yo vehicle. Aside from road noise, my main complaints were the awful infotainment interface and tiny (useless) backup camera screen. So last November I decided to upgrade to the quieter, hybrid '21 Toyota Venza.…
