Subaru Forester Premium 2.5i AWD (2023)
Squared-off glass, a low bonnet and a flat-four mounted low and long, which is why it feels more like a tall estate than an SUV. Permanent all-wheel drive, 220 mm of clearance.

Rating anonymously. We set one first-party cookie so the same browser cannot rate the same car twice; it holds a random number and nothing else. Create an account if you would rather manage your ratings later - anything you rate now moves with it.
How your three scores become one number
The overall score is the weighted mean of your three scores (Performance / Utility / Reliability), shrunk towards the site-wide average using a Bayesian prior of 5 votes. That is why a car with two votes never outranks a car with two hundred, and why a single angry score cannot sink a popular model.
Current site-wide mean: 3.9/5 (7.7/10). Your rating is stored with the three integers you pick, an optional note, and a timestamp.
