Forester

  • 2,000 miles
Primarily driver's seat is not comfortable. Back pain starts already after 30 min drive, get legs cramps when you step out of the car. Seat configuration does not allow to adjust it for comfortable seating position due to poor design. Forester 2019 has the most adjustable seats from all Subaru line, but looks like worse configuration overall. All existing adjustments still do not allow to seat comfortably even for a pretty short period of time. If you try to support the bottom part of the back, then upper part is not touching the seat and in case of rear accident injury chances are higher than average. If you adjust to support upper part, then lower part does not have any support and back hurts already after 5-10 min drive.

The seatbelt in the backseat gets tangled and locks in an upper position making the seatbelt inoperable.I have had the car seven months and it has happened 10 times. I take it to the dealer, they pull the stuck belt out from under the metal roller, but it happens again and again.
