    Notes from the dealer

    2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Only 48,391 Miles, AWD and a New Lower Price

    PRICE REDUCED * ONLY 48,391 MILES * 60,000+ MILES BELOW AVERAGE * SYMMETRICAL AWD * UP TO 32 MPG HIGHWAY * BACKUP CAMERA

    Mileage is what makes this 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i an exceptional find. It has only 48,391 milesmore than 60,000 miles below the market average.

    That remarkably low mileage is combined with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, excellent visibility, generous cargo space and a recently reduced price. This is the kind of affordable AWD SUV that deserves serious attention.

    TOP FEATURES: Only 48,391 Miles * 60,000+ Miles Below Market Average * Symmetrical AWD * 2.5L BOXER Engine * 170 Horsepower * Up to 32 MPG Highway * 8.7 Inches of Ground Clearance * Rearview Camera * Subaru STARLINK * Cruise Control * Keyless Entry * 17-Inch Alloy Wheels

    Subaru Symmetrical AWD is designed to provide balanced power delivery and confident traction. Combined with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, this Forester is well suited for rain, snow, rough roads and changing Northeast Ohio conditions.

    The 2.5L BOXER four-cylinder engine produces 170 horsepower and is paired with a Lineartronic transmission. It delivers smooth everyday performance while returning up to an EPA-estimated 32 MPG on the highway.

    Inside, the Foresters upright design creates excellent outward visibility and a spacious, comfortable cabin. Cloth bucket seats, air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, power windows and power mirrors provide practical everyday comfort.

    A split-folding rear seat allows the cargo area to expand for groceries, luggage, outdoor equipment and larger purchases. The wide rear opening and generous roof height make bulky items easier to load.

    The Subaru STARLINK 6.2-inch multimedia system provides access to audio and compatible connected features. USB connectivity, satellite-radio capability, a CD player and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls add convenience.

    A rearview camera helps when backing and parking. Four-wheel independent suspension contributes to a composed ride, while electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, brake assist and four-wheel disc brakes provide additional confidence.

    Crystal Black Silica paint, black roof rails and 17-inch alloy wheels give this Forester a clean, timeless appearance. The roof rails also provide useful versatility for compatible cargo carriers and outdoor equipment.

    This Forester combines exceptionally low mileage, standard AWD, useful ground clearance, excellent visibility and flexible cargo space in an easy-to-own SUV.

    The new lower price strengthens the value. The 48,391 miles are what make this 2016 Forester especially difficult to duplicate.

      Great site

      Easy to get the value for your vehicle, minimal distractions, easy to enter other vehicles. The only hassle was adding extra words and email to this review.

      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.
