Whether or not the Subaru Forester is a good vehicle to buy for a family would depend on how many there is in the family. When I was looking to purchase a Subaru, I was looking at the Forester and test drove one. It is a narrow vehicle, so I would say it would seat a family of four comfortably. Five would be a tight fit, but it is doable. I am assuming all the children will be in the back. Three adults in the back would be a tight fit.
The aspect of a Subaru that does make it a great family car is its all-wheel-drive system. I do own a Subaru Outback sedan, so I can attest to the safety of Subaru. For that reason alone, it is a great family car. After owning an all-wheel-drive, I would not want to own or drive anything else.
There is ample storage space in the back, and the flip-up door does make it convenient to use the cargo area versus using a trunk. I do believe the Forester is slightly taller than the sedans or station wagons.
