Performance
Your adventures demand nothing less than success, which is why the Subaru Forester brings a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine to the table. Through this revving component, you will be able to achieve 180 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. The sense of performance provided by this is further bolstered by the standard Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission, as it grants you those smooth gear shifts you’ve been looking for. This allows for a 26/33 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating, so making long-distance trips won’t become a struggle for you. Driving in the rain won’t cause you many issues either, as the SUV comes with a standard Subaru Symmetrical AWD configuration.
Technology
The 2025 Subaru Forester aims to cater to your every desire, which is why it comes equipped with a bevy of technologies. This includes the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot2, which allows for a consistent connection to the internet. This can be used to access your favorite apps on the standard dual 7-inch multimedia display on the dashboard, which simply demands a swipe and a tap. But if you would rather make use of your mobile device, spring for the optional wireless Apple CarPlay®3 and Android Auto™3 integrations to sync it with this vehicle’s systems. That way, you’ll have no trouble accessing the available Harman Kardon® 11-speaker setup for your excursions across Highway 227.
Comfort
Any expectations for the Subaru Forester’s comfortable interior will likely be shattered upon exploring it further. At the front, you can find a standard dual-zone automatic climate control system providing you and your copilot with different temperature settings. You can pair this with the optional 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support to find a sitting position that removes stiffness from your back. Do you often travel north for the winter? Then we recommend that you also obtain the available heated front- and second-row chairs, so that you and your guests won’t have to deal with the chill. Those seeking an upscale look should consider the available leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. To begin taking this SUV to Strother Park with your loved ones, contact our dealership today!

Dealership Information
Testimonials
Did a very good job!
They are my Dealership now!
“ It's worth the drive from Santa Ynez. I love my Subaru Crosstrek, and I want it to be my last car. She was due for her 60,000-mile service, which I knew was a big one ($$$$)... I made an appointment online (a nice feature offered by all Subaru dealers) .... I made it for 1pm. The next day, I was called, and my service advisor said this was a large service, and it would take up to 5 hours to get it done. They offered me a loaner car at no extra charge. The loaner was a 2024 Forrester Ascent. Super nice vehicle... much bigger and nicer than my own car! Very thorough, very professional, and friendly service staff. They are my Dealership now! ”
Thank you!
“ I had new tires installed and Subaru loaned me a car while I waited for it. I really appreciate that. ”
The customer service at this dealership is outstanding.
“ Ladies if you want to buy a car and have a great experience see Alex Nikolaou. My sister (70's) wanted to buy a car, so she brought me along to be the "heavy". Alex met us when we pulled up to the front of the dealership. He introduced himself and I told him we were not buying a car today. He appreciated; I was honest. As my sister looked around, she fell in love with the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness package. My sister test drove the vehicle and learned more about the active cruise control and active driving options on the vehicle. Alex showed her how to use the options and respectfully answered all our questions. We had a goal to walk away and have dinner and discuss the options. Alex said he would put some numbers together and send to us via text. We did not feel pressure or dirty leaving the dealership to think on this vehicle. The trade in price on her Subaru Outback was reasonable so we slept on the idea of a new car. In the morning we text Alex and set up an appt to come and test drive the car again. Alex explained all the nuances of the Forester compared to her older Outback. What sold my sister was the front camera, SLO has small parking spaces, and the front camera is fantastic for pulling into tight spaces. The cameras on this car make it easy to get in and out of parking spots without hitting the curb in front. What I would like to say about this experience is if you want your Grandmother, Mother or Sister to feel respected and not taken advantage of go see Alex at Subaru of San Luis Obispo. As my sister and I asked questions Alex slowly explained the answers. He did not talk down to us, and we had tons of questions. I did not feel dirty or swindled leaving the dealership after the purchase. Subaru of San Luis Obispo has a young gentleman, “Porter” to help explain all the electronic in the new car. My sister can go into this dealership any time in the future and ask for explanations of this knob, switch or setting up the apple car play to her current apple phone or when she upgrades to the new apple phone. The customer service at this dealership is outstanding. We recommend working with Alex for all your Subaru needs. ”

Exceptional service with an exceptional team
“ Exceptional service with an exceptional team. Everyone from the sales team to finance department/manager was incredibly knowledgable and able to make the process as quick as possible while being 100% transparent. I highly recommend Subaru of San Luis in search of a vehicle. ”
I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO!
“ Randy Gregory was our salesman and made the car buying experience super stress free. We came in for a test drive and weren't pressured to make the sale immediately. Came back after testing a few other models at other dealers with other sales people and by far Randy was the easiest and most transparent on features, price, etc. I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO! ”
Highly recommend this business for everyone.
“ We found a wonderful used car on their site and enquired about financing and within a hour was contacted by Liam a true professional who asked us to come in on Christmas eve and we felt like family members and never felt any pressure and everyone went above and beyond for us to give us the best buying experience we've ever had. Thank you so much Liam, Paras, and Peter for being the best in the business for us and our purchase. Highly recommend this business for everyone. ”
Will likely be the only shop I ever buy from again.
“ Bought a 2023 Subie Outback from Jimmy Binkele and Paras Shukla. These guys are consummate professionals and will likely be the only shop I ever buy from again. ”
Will be doing service with Subaru SLO again!

The best car dealership I have ever been to

It is a pleasure working with the staff. Everyone has always been pleasant, competent, and has kept me informed. The best car dealership I have ever been to. Thank you. ”
Top notch and courteous service.
“ I have bought two cars from Zak Vigil in the last three years. Zak was great to work with. Zak made both purchases convenient with processing most of the paperwork virtually and he was very knowledgeable about the cars. No pressure tactics either. Top notch and courteous service. ”
Awesome service
