Subaru Forester Customer Reviews In Florida
My wife and I purchased a CPO 2025 Forester the Monday after Christmas through the Costco Auto Program at Devoe Subaru of Naples. We initially reached out about a vehicle we saw listed online and they connected us with Kos, who made the whole process very simple and easy. We were very happy with the experience overall and we got a great deal! We would highly recommend Devoe Subaru of Naples to anyone interested in a reliable vehicle! We look forward to coming back for another Subaru once this one is paid off!

I was looking for a specific Forester for a while and was lucky to find one in Naples. I live on the east coast and most dealers would not work with me to agree on a price over the phone. I am happy I found my car at Subaru of Naples. It has been a stress free experience from the first contact. I appreciate honesty and clarity on the prices and involved fees. Working with Amy, Blake and Carl has been a pleasure. Thank you for a pleasant experience. I will be back in the future, definitely worth driving 100+ miles to experience a hassle free car purchase.
Buying my Forester was a great experience. Anthony Cruz is knowledgeable, friendly and interested in your needs and wants. I LOVE this car! I am so impressed with the quality, numerous safety features in the vehicle body, comfort, ease of operation and visibility from within the car. I really feel safe because of the strong construction and that I can see traffic around me much better than from my previous vehicle. I love the large touch screen, the arrangement of its features, and the ease and intuitiveness of programming and using it. I've only had this car a week, but I feel this is the best car I've ever owned.
Best experience buying a vehicle I’ve ever had. No one was trying to push anything on me, and very accommodating to my circumstances. We visited the dealership 3 times before buying and felt comfortable and relaxed each time. 10/10 would recommend this dealership and especially Austin, he was amazing! Very pleased with my brand new Forester Sport :)
Purchased 2025 Forester. Salesman knew products very well. Transaction couldn’t have been any smoother. Staff was excellent.
