2014 forester 2.5 premium

Good pickup and fuel economy. Backup camera excellent. Horn not positioned for quick emergency response. Bluetooth setup and time setting difficult.

2014 Subaru Forester

I am very happy with the performance of the Subaru and had a previous Subaru. The newest Subaru has a few flaws.

Great in the snow

I really like this car as it handles extremely well in the snow. For the first time, I don't mind driving in the snow. There is considerable road noise when on the highway. My husband bought the same car only 2 years newer.

Subaru Forester

For the most part I love my Forester, however more could be done to improve the comfort of the seating. The seats are very uncomfortable.

Subaru Forester 2014

I have only one complaint for the Forester. The seats are extremely uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time over 30 minutes.

Well built vehicle

Built to last and easy to drive. Stiff ride but corners well. Engine is great and pretty quite compared to other brands of this size. Transmission is smooth on hills and seems to always be matched to engine rpm requirements.

Nice Reliable Car

Great used reliable vehicle. Great features, accelerates fast and smoothly. Back up camera provides clear video. Hatch auto open/close. Back seats can go down with press of button. Driver seat power operated, easy to adjust even at a red light or stop sign. I definitely recommend Subaru Forester's they drive well, have lots of space, very reliable and is one of safest SUVs.

Spunky, versatile, and comfortable

The 2014 Subaru Forester Touring is a surprisingly roomy and capable “Swiss Army Knife” on wheels. It’s comfortable, rides well, handles with precision, and easily carries five adult passengers. It’s got tons of room for cargo, even with the rear seats upright. If not for subpar gas mileage and excessive wind noise, I’d give it 5 stars

Everything is great, except the radio.

I love my Forester. It is well equipped, reliable, comfortable and goes wherever I need it to. My only complaint is that I have had trouble with Bluetooth since I got the car. The dealer replaced it twice, but now refuses to even though the car is under warranty and the Bluetooth is clearly misbehaving. I think it's likely that newer models have resolved the problem.

2014 Subaru Forester

I have the touring model and have enjoyed driving it. I live out in the country, so we have more snow and ice and have never had a problem negotiating the roads. With all the features on this car that can be used when weather and roads are challenging, it is a wonderful choice.

Very depenable but...

Subarus burn oil. There is no other way to word it. Not too much but you'll need to add a quart between oil changes so you have to be on it. We keep a new quart in the car. Great car otherwise. Great visibility when driving. Awesome in snow.

Roomy despite its size.

I bought this vehicle for fuel efficiency (4 liter engine) and interior capacity. It is not a luxury ride (other models or trim packages can accommodate that) but it is serving its purpose, well on its way to 200K miles! The interior space allows handling of bigger, boxier items that won't fit into comparable SUVs by other manufacturers. I needed a dependable, fuel efficient vehicle with adequate interior space for many miles on the road, both personally and professionally. This Forester gives me all that I bought it for and has needed only occasional repairs.

Overall good but horrible seats and bluetooth

Love the car but it takes a toll on your back during long journeys. Doesn't have the best suspension which is OK as it makes up on reliability. Engine burns a ton of oil even after getting shirt block replaced so have 2 quarts of oil budgeted for refills between oil changes because the engine burns through the stuff... Bluetooth disconnects on random but if you're driving a stick you can theoretically throw the car into neutral and rev match back when it turns back on provided road conditions are safe to do so while moving... Not recommended for sure if you don't known what you're doing but overall she's a nice car. Had to replace the clutch around 94k miles, passenger power window failed around 95k miles and 9+ years, had to replace one of the windshield fluid pipe branches things that failed a few years ago and I can't think of much else that went wrong with the car

I love my Forester. It is the second Forester I have owned and would get another one if/when I need another car. No problems with it. Perfect for me and my husband.
