Drive Car West Coast , Canada. Great car in Snow/Ice. SAFETY....Only SUV that passes the off-set Crash test...and that alone is enough to buy this car after my recent ( non fault) Subaru write off crash. Great Mileage! I get 32 us mpg on highway(over Mountain passes) and 34 us mpg on flat highways ; 25 us mpg in City...so I don't know why the Lead foot drivers complain of "poor" mileage.I had a CRV & Nissan and this car is superior....and I would buy this SUV again and again.

Subaru Hybrid Burns Gas and OIl

Purchased new 2014 Forrester in July 2013. At 33,000 miles the low oil light came on so I added a quart. It burns a quart every 2,000 miles. Subaru tells me it's acceptable (to them). I called a few dealerships to see if it was true and they all said the same thing. This is our 4th and sadly last Subaru. (GL-10, Legacy, Outback, Forrester). I've tried heavier (5w20) oil with the same results. On a positive note the oil consumption has not affected the gas mileage and the plugs are not fouled. The car now has 75k on it. The passenger srs light has started coming on intermittently and the cvt has gotten noticeably louder. I got a letter from the dealership about an extended warranty on the trans related to stalling. I gotta say I'm not impressed with the car. I wouldn't sell this car to anybody given the laundry list of problems. I felt deprived of the new car owner experience. A Lemon.
