About the model
The 2009–2013 Subaru Forester
The 2009–2013 Forester grew into a roomier compact SUV, with a longer wheelbase and standard all-wheel drive and stability control. Buyers like its tall seating position, generous ground clearance and big windows that make it easy to see out.

Capability2
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, standard
Every 2009–2013 Forester has Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance (8.9 on the XT). Snowy roads, ruts and trailhead parking lots are well within its comfort zone.
Manual or 4-speed automatic
Non-turbo 2.5X models came with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. The turbo XT came only with the automatic. No Forester of this generation has a CVT.
Safety2
Stability control and curtain airbags
Vehicle Dynamics Control stability and traction control is standard, along with side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Brake Assist.
IIHS Top Safety Pick, 2009–2013
The IIHS named the Forester a Top Safety Pick for every model year from 2009 through 2013, with Good ratings in its frontal, side, roof strength and head restraint tests.
Space1
Longer wheelbase, roomier cabin
This generation rides on a 103-inch wheelbase, 3.6 inches longer than before, which frees up rear legroom and cargo space. Fold the rear seat for up to 68.3 cubic feet.
Good to know2
Timing belt or chain, by year and engine
2009–2010 non-turbo models and every turbo XT use a timing belt, which Subaru says to replace at 105,000 miles. 2011–2013 non-turbo models have a timing chain. Ask us what this car's records show.
Oil-use service bulletin (2011–2013)
Subaru bulletin 02-157-14R covers unusual oil consumption on some 2011–2013 non-turbo 2.5-liter engines within set VIN ranges. A verified case got a new short block. Ask us what this car's records show.
Specs are the manufacturer's figures for this generation. Equipment varies by trim and year, so ask us about anything that matters to you on this exact car.
