This is our 2nd foester- we have a 2011 Touring model as well as the new 2014 Touring model ( i vesrsions) The cars are very differant, might as well be made by 2 differant companies , they so unalike- The major differances are improvements to the tranny (now CVT) smoother than the 4 gear jobby of our 2011-- beter gas mileage (3 to 4 miles per gal improvement) We have the A/C on continually , so do not get EPA standard ratings( 24/32 mpg)_pay a penalty of about 4 m/p/g less on average- BUT the improvement of the 2011 Touring model is a average of 3 to 5 m/p/g - __ Interior very roomy- STARK

*** I sold it. I miss it a bit but mostly for the power. **** I'm a bit disappointed in my first Subaru. The ECM had to be reprogrammed early on as it had terrible pre ignition. The drivers seat bottom material had to be replaced at 34,000 miles due to cracking. The transmission began leaking around 45,000 miles. The transmission developed a nasty shudder that come and goes around that time too. All of this is/has been repaired under warranty but after 500,000 miles spread out over 3 Toyota Tacomas and 1 Tundra, I feel let down. Think I might have to move on. I had the transmission leak fixed under the extended warranty. While they had it they updated the transmission programming and this has resolved the shudder. Subaru extended the cvt warranty due to issues.

Little things, no auto locking doors, have to hold door when getting out it it will swing all the way out to bang the car next to you, poor seat adjustment options, and not a terribly smooth ride. Stereo sub par. Otherwise has good acceleration, handles well, great fuel efficiency, reliable and roomy.

There is little room for storage and hauling in the back end, That is my only complaint about my car, would recommend it to everyone wanting a smaller suv.

I was excited and happy about the forester (2014). Great on fuel, at first. Simple interior. I really wanted a vehicle to get a places with a small gas price. The vehicle was great till after 75,000 miles. I now have about 105,000 miles on it(4/24/18). The guy is right about the foresters burning gas, I started having to keep quarts of oil in my vehicle in case the oil light came on. I would get an oil change, half way through the miles the light comes on, I've learned to add oil. So, recently my check engine light came on. It was P0420-catalytic converter efficiency below threshold (bank 1) or could be the Oxygen sensor. I went to the dealer got a tune up and asked about the check engine light. The person told me it was the catalytic converter and to replace it would be $1,700. That's a down payment on a new car. I am confident in myself and family members to help me replace the part but when I went to purchase the part I couldn't get the actual converter part, just the O2 sensor. Hopefully, that's all I need to do. SO! when I asked "how many more miles can I go on the converter now?" she responded with, "Idk, it depends" then I asked "how does this happen? is it common? how can I prevent this?" but no definite answer.
