    Notes from the dealer

    A one-owner 2023 Subaru Forester with 11,855 miles fits the way Northeast Ohio actually drives, from lake-effect mornings on Route 2 to a Saturday run out to Holden Arboretum with the rear seats folded down. It was leased new, serviced on schedule, and carries Subaru Certified Pre-Owned backing.

    This Forester has had one previous owner, who held it on a personal lease in Ohio. Its CARFAX is clean, with no accidents or damage reported. It's a CARFAX Homegrown vehicle: Adventure Subaru sold it new in September 2023, and every service visit on its CARFAX since then was done in our service department. That history includes a pre-delivery inspection, plus oil and filter changes and maintenance inspections at 1,564, 3,723, 5,569, 7,988, and 10,171 miles, with tire rotations at four of those visits. Oil changes followed Subaru's recommended schedule. The factory basic warranty is at the end of its term, so the CPO coverage is the protection that matters going forward. As a Subaru Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, this CPO Forester comes with a completed 152-point inspection, a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a $0 deductible, and roadside assistance, and the coverage is transferable.

    The previous owner averaged under 4,000 miles a year, against a 15,000-mile industry average, and every documented service visit happened at the dealership that sold it new. A Forester with that little use and that complete a record is harder to find than most people expect.

    Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance give the Forester the footing Lake County winters ask for. That covers an unplowed side street and a slushy stretch of Route 2 after a lake-effect band moves through. The EyeSight Driver-Assist System works with Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering to take some of the effort out of highway drives and stop-and-go commutes into Cleveland. LED Steering Responsive Headlights with High Beam Assist follow the curve on dark back roads through the Cuyahoga Valley. The 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine pairs with a Lineartronic CVT with SI-DRIVE and Low Shift Mode.

    Inside, the 6.5-inch STARLINK Multimedia system handles smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth hands-free calling. Automatic climate control with air filtration keeps the cabin comfortable from January through July. A rear vision camera with dynamic guidelines helps in tight summer lots at Geneva-on-the-Lake. The 60/40 split fold-down rear seat opens up room for bikes, coolers, or a week of groceries. Fixed crossbar mounting points on the roof leave this Forester ready for a rack when kayaks or skis come along. It also carries a five-star overall NHTSA safety rating.

    26 city / 33 highway MPG.

    At Adventure Subaru, Subaru Certified Pre-Owned isn't a checkbox. It's a commitment. Our factory-trained technicians complete the 152-point inspection, and we stand behind the coverage long after you drive home. Find us at 1991 Mentor Ave, Painesville, Ohio.

      Love this Subaru

      by Subaru Owner on 6/10/2026 5:39:32 PM

      I've owned other vehicles and rented many on trips. The Forester wilderness has more power and clearance, gets great gas mileage, and overall is the most dependable. Plus, it looks good! I would choose it again without hesitation.…

      Genuinely love my car

      by limes on 3/27/2026 3:06:39 AM

      I bought this car new and off the lot so it had maximum 5 miles on it before I took it home. We’re going on 4 years of driving and I understand the cult following of Subaru’s. No major or moderate issues to report!…
