If you've been searching for a 2019 Subaru Forester Limited for sale in Novato, California, your search may be over. Active Auto Sales in Novato, in the heart of Marin County, has this well-maintained 2019 Subaru Forester Limited Sport Utility available now — a versatile, all-weather SUV that punches well above its price point in the used market. With 69,381 miles on the odometer and Subaru's legendary all-wheel drive system under the hood, this Forester is ready to take on whatever Northern California throws at it.

About This 2019 Subaru Forester Limited

The 2019 Forester marked a complete redesign for Subaru's best-selling SUV, and this Limited trim represents the sweet spot between everyday practicality and genuine luxury features. At just over 69,000 miles, this Forester sits comfortably in the middle of its usable life — broken in, but with plenty of road left ahead of it. Subaru's symmetrical AWD and a reputation for long-term durability mean that buyers can confidently look at a 2019 model and expect many more years of reliable service. Whether you're commuting across the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge or heading up into the hills of Marin County on a weekend adventure, this Forester is built for exactly that kind of life.

2019 Subaru Forester Performance and Engine

2.5-Liter Naturally Aspirated Flat-Four Engine

Under the hood, the 2019 Subaru Forester Limited runs a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine — Subaru's signature "boxer" layout — producing 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with Subaru's Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission, which keeps the engine in its optimal power band to maximize both performance and fuel efficiency. Real-world drivers typically see around 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway, making this one of the more fuel-efficient AWD SUVs in its class.
 

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Subaru's symmetrical full-time AWD system isn't a part-time setup that kicks in only when traction is lost — it's active all the time, constantly balancing power between all four wheels. For Marin County drivers who deal with wet roads in winter, winding canyon roads, or occasional off-pavement excursions, this system provides a level of confidence and control that front-wheel-drive crossovers simply can't match. X-MODE terrain management adds additional grip for steeper or muddier conditions, making this Forester genuinely trail-capable when the weekend calls for it.

2019 Subaru Forester Limited Features and Interior

What the Limited Trim Includes

The Limited trim elevates the Forester well beyond the base experience. Expect genuine leather-trimmed seating with power adjustments for the driver, a panoramic power moonroof, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Heated front and rear seats are a welcome addition for cooler Marin County mornings, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls keeps the driver connected without distraction.
 

Cargo and Passenger Space

The 2019 redesign brought a longer wheelbase and significantly more interior room. Rear passengers enjoy class-leading legroom, and the cargo area behind the rear seats offers 35.4 cubic feet of space — expandable to 76.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. That's genuinely SUV-sized utility in a compact footprint. The large, boxy glasshouse design gives the Forester outstanding visibility from every seat, a feature that makes parking and lane changes in tight urban environments noticeably easier.

Subaru Forester Reliability and Ownership

The Subaru Forester consistently earns high marks from long-term owners and independent reliability organizations alike. J.D. Power rated the 2019 Forester well in initial quality, and real-world owner feedback points to very few major mechanical complaints. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine is simpler and more proven than turbocharged alternatives, which translates to lower maintenance costs over time. Subaru's EyeSight driver assistance suite — included on the Limited trim — has been praised by insurance organizations for its genuine crash-avoidance capability, which can also mean lower insurance premiums for owners.

Regular oil changes, coolant flushes at higher mileage intervals, and transmission fluid maintenance are the primary items to stay current on. At 69,381 miles, this Forester is well within the range where a buyer gets the benefit of past break-in wear without approaching the territory of major service intervals. Timing chain (not belt) design eliminates one of the most costly maintenance items found on competing vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2019 Subaru Forester a good buy?

Yes — the 2019 Forester is widely considered one of the best used compact SUV values on the market. The complete redesign that year brought a larger interior, improved tech, and the inclusion of EyeSight driver assistance across more trim levels. It combines proven AWD capability with strong fuel economy and a reliability record that holds up over high mileage.
 

How many miles is too many on a used Subaru Forester?

A well-maintained Subaru Forester can routinely reach 200,000 miles or more. At 69,381 miles, this example is in the early-to-mid portion of its expected lifespan — past the initial depreciation curve but well short of where serious wear concerns emerge. The key is documented maintenance history, which you can ask about when you visit.
 

What does the Forester Limited trim include over lower trims?

The Limited trim adds leather seating, power-adjustable driver's seat, a panoramic moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated rear seats, and a larger 8-inch touchscreen compared to base and Premium trims. It also typically includes blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert, features not available on lower configurations.
 

Does the 2019 Subaru Forester Limited have Apple CarPlay?

Yes. The 2019 Forester Limited includes Subaru's STARLINK infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are supported, making it easy to use navigation, music, and messaging from your smartphone while keeping your eyes on the road.
 

Is AWD worth it on a Subaru Forester in California?

For drivers in Marin County and the greater Bay Area, AWD is genuinely useful — not just for winter rain but for the hilly, winding terrain throughout the region. Subaru's symmetrical full-time AWD also tends to provide better resale value and is particularly appreciated by buyers who travel to Tahoe or other mountain destinations seasonally.
