Dealer Comments

The 2018 Subaru Forester 4D Sport Utility delivers the confidence, comfort, and everyday practicality shoppers want in a versatile compact SUV. Finished in a vibrant Red with a clean gray cloth cabin, it blends smart design with a relaxing driving experience that makes errands, commutes, and weekend getaways feel easy. With standard AWD and excellent visibility, it is ready for Hudson Valley backroads, city streets, and the kind of four-season weather common across the Northeast. If you're looking for a used car in the Hudson Valley that balances value, space, and all-weather traction, this Forester fits the bill.

Inside, supportive front bucket seats and a power driver seat help you dial in a comfortable position, while the split folding rear seat and rear seat center armrest add flexibility for passengers and cargo. The power moonroof brings in fresh air and light on nice days, and the ride remains composed thanks to four-wheel independent suspension. Thoughtful touches like illuminated entry, front reading lights, and an overhead console keep daily life organized and stress-free.

Technology and safety are straightforward and intuitive. The Subaru Starlink 7.0-inch multimedia display pairs with AM/FM radio, SiriusXM capability, a CD player, radio data system, and 6 speakers for clear, simple entertainment. Steering wheel media controls make it easy to adjust audio on the move. An exterior rear camera helps with backing in tight spots, while the Subaru STARLINK emergency communication system provides added peace of mind. Active safety features include traction control, electronic stability control, 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, brake assist, low tire pressure warning, and multiple airbags including knee airbags. Front and rear anti-roll bars contribute to confident handling & more.

Everyday convenience comes standard. You get automatic temperature control with air conditioning and a rear window defroster, power windows, power door mirrors, power steering, remote keyless entry, speed control, and a security system with panic alarm. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel, tachometer, outside temperature display, and trip computer put key information at a glance. On the outside, body-color bumpers, alloy wheels, a spoiler, roof rack rails, rear window wiper, and variably intermittent wipers reinforce the Foresters ready-for-anything personality. A capable chassis with a 3.70 axle ratio rounds out the balanced driving feel.

With 134,203 miles, this Forester stands out as an affordable used car for shoppers focused on practical value. Subarus reputation for thoughtful engineering and everyday durability makes it a smart companion for workdays and weekends alike, without stretching your budget.
