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.

2014 Forester - Our Review

We have had 'our 2014 Forester for about a year and a half. We believe it is an excellent vehicle in all respects. We would likely buy a Forester again if that opportunity were to come about. I wish this car had a digital mpg gauge, however.

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.

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.

Forester

I have driven every German and almost most Japanese cars made. I had to say my Subaru is as dependable as any of them and better than most. Am definitely buying another one!

great car

This is our second Forester. We find them perfect for our needs. They have a great cargo area, super handling, good visibility and easy to get in and out of. They are wonderful in slippery conditions and very comfortable in freeway driving.

I like it.

Some of the short block engines go through a lot of oil and Subaru extended the warranty on the CVT transmission but I put a lot of miles on this vehicle and haven't had a single problem that makes me regret in any way my purchase of this vehicle. People I have in my vehicle always are saying they can't believe how well the car presents in ride, appearance, and feel even though it's coming up on 160k miles. I would say if you like the price, get one. You probably won't be sorry.

Opinion

I love my Subaru Forester. This is a great car for the kind of weather and terrain here in Idaho. My Great Pyrenees loves it too!

I love my Forester with one exception. The seats are the most uncomfortable car seats I have ever had.

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

My First Forester

I purchased a 2014 Forester Touring. Although this is my fourth Subaru, this is my FIRST Forester. I actually like it better than my last three, which were Outbacks (I still have one of them, a 99 Limited). I am 6' and the extra cabin height makes it easier to get in and out of. I have also had both knees replaced and the position of the steering wheel and lower/narrower rocker makes it easier than the Outbacks. One thing that has been unavailable (and I truly miss) is automatic dimming headlights. This would be an awesome addition. Interestingly, when I purchased my Forester there were a couple of other "geezers" like me who had knee replacements trading their Outbacks for Foresters for the same reason...

Not crazy about it. Poor Quality.

1) Rear camera hard to see. 2) Headlights are weak, low beam is a safety hazard. 3) No dash light to say headlights are on. 2012 model has light. 4) Remote start is annoying. Motor shuts off when you open the door. Have to restart the engine. 5) no power source for cel phone charging when car is off. Lurches when you step on the gas. Tires spin in snow . Hard to feather the gas. Repairs: Between 23 to 27 months: Driver door trim falling off, Radio/GPS off, had to be replaced, Battery dead at 23,000 miles. Now using oil, have to add between changes.

Great car - I researched the best car for my and I decided on a Subaru Forester

I was in a market for a new car; I researched and test-drove about 8 cars in the small SUV category and some fun ones too like the FIAT 500L. I decided on the Subaru Forester due to the safety features, the comfortable styling, my requirements of seating 5 people, energy sufficient, and good for car-camping and road trips, and value of the money. So far, I have been happy driving the car for the last three years. I only had one problem when the hatchback stopped working - some glitch, and I had to take it back to the dealer to reset to factory settings.

The only real problem I have with my Forrester is the comfort of the seats. No one is comfortable in them.

Subaru Forester Review

I love my Subaru Forester! It's comfortable, gets good gas mileage, hugs the road, and drives great in winter conditions. I would definitely consider purchasing another Forester should the need arise.

Subaru Forester 2014

This vehicle replaced a Subaru Outback 2004 which had 230K miles, the Forester is much better on gas millage and handles better than expected in winter driving and towing of trailer.

Love it!

I've only had the car for 2 weeks but I love it! I really appreciate how high I sit. I like the visibility! The big windows bring in a lot of natural light and the sun/moon roof is huge! The ride is smooth and the bumps feel easy now. The clearance from the ground to the bumper is enough to get around a city with lots of potholes and not bottom out. It's great on gas too! The sound system is awesome and the hands-free phone is a nice feature. I am very happy with my purchase! I wanted something to make my life easier and this car does it! I am a grateful owner of a 2014 Subaru Forester!
