    Dealer Notes

    Daybreak Blue Pearl might just be the best color Subaru offers right now, and this 2026 Forester Base wears it beautifully. Priced at $32,048, it comes ready for real New England life with all-weather floor liners, a cargo tray, and a rear bumper cover already on board. The remote engine starter means you can warm the cabin up before you even put your shoes on, which is a small thing that makes a big difference on a cold morning.

    The Forester's symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard on every trim, so this base model gives you the same confident grip you get on higher trims. The continuously variable automatic transmission keeps things smooth on the highway, and the fuel economy works out to 26 MPG in the city and 33 on the highway. That kind of range adds up fast if you are putting in regular commuter miles or weekend road trips up to the White Mountains.

    The H-4 engine runs on regular gasoline, so you are not paying a premium at the pump. The gray interior is clean and practical, and the cargo area on a Forester is genuinely one of the roomiest in its class. With the cargo tray already installed, hauling muddy gear or grocery bags is easy to manage without worrying about the floor.

    If you want to see this Forester up close or just have some questions, give us a call at 978-797-1818. Our team at AutoFair Subaru is happy to walk you through the details or set up a test drive at a time that works for you.

      Well built, solid vehicle. Excellent visibility. Ok acceleration with the hybrid. Handling is good too and good turning radius. I average about 30 mpg. I have not had issues with the screen freezing or being able to navigate to any apps. I have never had an issue with the parking sensors. They sometimes beep but never intrude on me actually being able to maneuver the vehicle. You can turn off the lane keep assist and the "nanny" that tells you to keep your eyes on the road. I wish it was faster and got better mpgs but overall a great vehicle and I knew what I was purchasing. Subaru has one of the best dealership customer services where I live, most other dealers here couldn't care less about you after the sale. Also one of the only dealers that don't mark up over msrp.…
    • Excellent SUV

      I have owned many new cars from Japanese and American brands over the years, except a Subaru. I just purchased a '26 Touring Hybrid and absolutely love this car over all others. It drives very smoothly, is quiet, and definitely has a noted feel of luxury, both inside and out. The stereo is amazing and even allows me to replay songs on the radio. I could not be happier with this purchase.…
