Consumer Reports Names Two Subaru Models Most Satisfying to Own

Each year, Consumer Reports asks its users which vehicles they love owning the most, and Subaru earned two spots on this year’s list. Out of five compact and subcompact SUVs, drivers stated they were most satisfied with the 2023 Forester and 2023 Crosstrek. Both models landed at the top of the last, and we aren’t surprised – both are top-sellers here at Subaru of Auburn! Consumer Reports users and Auburn customers alike have named the Forester and Crosstrek as models they would purchase again, and here’s why.

2023 Subaru Forester

The #1 SUV according to Consumer Reports is this year’s Forester, earning 87 points. What do owners love about their Subaru Forester? Well, there isn’t much not to love. To start, the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER engine delivers a class-leading 33 highway and 26 city MPG. Symmetrical All-Wheel Driver is a standard feature, offering superior handling in any condition. Drivers appreciate the advanced safety features like EyeSight to provide a more confident drive with features like Emergency Automatic Steering and Pre-Collision Braking. There’s lots of room for family, furry friends, and gear in the roomy interior, and seamless entertainment integration makes trips more fun for everyone.

2023 Subaru Crosstrek

Earning #2 on the list is the 2023 Crosstrek with 84 points. The slightly smaller 2.0L Subaru Boxer Engine ups the combined MPG to 30, while the manual option gets a combined 25 MPG. If you opt for the higher trim levels, you can get the same 2.5L engine as you’d find in the Forester. Like the Forester, Symmetrical All-Wheel Driver comes standard along with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology on CVT models. It’s one of the most affordable Subaru models on the market while offering supreme value starting at $23,645 MSRP. Crosstrek drivers love its comfort, convenience, and versatility.
