About the Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester is a versatile crossover SUV that has carved out a niche in the Kenyan market, appealing to both urban dwellers and those who frequently travel upcountry. With its all-wheel-drive system, it handles rough terrains and unpaved roads with ease, making it ideal for regions with challenging road conditions. The Forester is particularly popular among families and adventure enthusiasts who value space, safety, and reliability. Most units in Kenya are petrol-powered, with automatic transmissions, offering a balance between performance and practicality.

Pros

Excellent AWD capability
Spacious interior
Strong safety features
Good ground clearance

Cons

Thirsty in urban settings
CVT can be problematic
Higher service costs for AWD
Limited diesel options

Reliability

The Forester has a reputation for durability, largely due to its robust build and reliable boxer engine. However, regular maintenance is crucial to avoid issues with the CVT and to ensure the longevity of the AWD system. High-mileage units may start to show wear on suspension components, especially if frequently used on rough roads.

Maintenance

Routine maintenance is straightforward, but the CVT requires careful attention to avoid costly repairs. Service intervals should be strictly adhered to, particularly for oil changes and timing belt replacements. While service costs are generally reasonable, the AWD system can be more complex and expensive to service compared to 2WD competitors.

Parts availability

Parts for the Subaru Forester are generally available in Nairobi's Kirinyaga Road, Grogan, and Ngara areas, as well as in major towns like Mombasa and Nakuru. Genuine parts can be sourced from Subaru's authorised service centres, though they may be pricier. Aftermarket options are plentiful, but quality varies, so it's advisable to purchase from reputable dealers.

Fuel economy

The petrol variants are known for being moderately thirsty, especially in urban traffic, where the AWD system and automatic transmission can increase fuel consumption. On highways, the Forester performs more efficiently, but still lags behind some rivals in fuel economy.
