Three weeks ago I bought a 2.5i Premium PZEV 4dr SUV AWD with 4cyl CVT. So far I have driven this SUV for about 1100 miles and I am very happy with it. Love the comfort of the ride. I like the way it handles the road, pickup, braking and wet weather. Turning radius is great and road handling was excellent in highway. The view from drivers seat is great. So far my mileage is hovering around 25mpg highway and 21mpg in city. I expect it to give 27mpg combined and 32mpg highway as stated by Subaru once I put on more miles. I live in Chicago area and expect it to handle very well in snow. I will write another review after driving my Forester in winter.
2014 Forester still mm awesome

Shortcuts on the 2014 Forester

I owned a 1998 and 2004 Outback and they were tight, high quality cars. This car has rattles on the front dashboard and the dealer has tried but cannot fix it. Subaru even eliminated the temp. gauge in favor of a 1960s style light on the dash. The lighting in the very back storage area is poor, no light under the hood either, and there is no hook to hang dry cleaning. All in all, the interior is a disappointment but the back seat legroom is awesome and I'm happy with the highway gas mileage. Not much power in this car. If there was a 2.8 V6 option, that would add something.

Over 4 years in and not impressed

We initially were looking at the Crosstrek and perhaps the Outback. The dealer mentioned the Forester and we took it for a drive. We quickly forgot about the other two. Test drove Ford, Nissan, Honda too. When I drive the forester MPG- city/hwy 25/32. When my wife drives, which is most of the time, city/hwy 22/29. Overall a little disappointed in the gas mileage perspective, but it does better than our 2009 Camry! Price paid- 28423- Limited, option pack 2, remote start, splash guards, all weather mats. Briggs in Topeka went very smoothly. ***Update after 3 years. Personally I think the driver seat isn't very comfortable. My right knee always has the keys sitting on it- a bit cramped for my 6' height. Road noise is a bit loud. Haven't had any oil problems that I've heard the Forrester is prone to. Gas mileage is underwhelming, especially if you drive 75+ mph as we often do in the midwest. The ride is pretty rough- you feel most of the bumps on the road, but I don't mind that too much. Fantastic in the snow. A recent brake electrical mechanism had to be replaced, my wife had difficulty getting the car out of park due to this part failure. Since we are past the 36,000 mi warranty it was $95, but concerning that we have a problem only 3 years in. Overall it's a good car, but I don't know that it is worth the price we paid. ***pros- great in the snow/wet weather, great visibility from the cabin. Cons- noisey cabin, not very comfortable front seats, firm/rough ride, HD radio goes in and out,
