I purchased a 2014 forester 2.5i touring 2 years ago. It had 154600 km when purchased. I have put 50,000 km on the odometer, yes we do a lot of driving. As a mechanic, I service my subue every 8500km, always use same brand oil in a 0-20 synthetic, good quality filter. I am guaranteed to consume 1.5l of oil between changes. Previous vehicles I have owned have proven to consume the same. Driving conditions are the same on average daily 45km daily and get out of the city on the weekends. Excellent fuel economy, after warmup light goes off. Comfortable for both driver and passenger(s), camp gear on weekends for 2. Lots of fun off pavement when cvt I'm manual mode. Would I purchase another subject, IN A HEATBEAT.

We have had our 2014 from new and absolutely luv it. Other than required maintenance it has been breakdown free. Best we’ve ever owned. Highly recommend. We have the 2.5i limited.

Over the past 15 years, my family has owned Rav4, Honda CRV, Hyundai Santa Fe, Lexus RX330 and RX 350. Mileage at 29 for combined city/country. Plenty of power going up our hill at 7400 ft. Love the lack of shifting jerks common in 4 or 5 speed transmissions. Ride is stiff/responsive, and although I wouldn't characterize as "jittery", there is a distinct difference between the ride of this and the other cars listed. You are much more likely to feel the cracks on the road in driving on asphalt or concrete. Generally this is not too bad, but on some streets it can be annoying. The voice recognition is way below the Lexus or Hyundai and the computer interface is not particularly user-friendly. The eye-sight works very well and is fun to use. Having >30,000 miles of experience with it, I continue to like it and it is particularly useful on longer trips with moderately heavy traffic. You pick your lane and a car that is going at roughly the speed you want, and it follows at a distance you set. One thing it can't do, however, is anticipate a line of brake lights ahead of that car. Slowing appropriately because you can see what is coming is still better than relying on the car in front of you. Presumably technology like WAZE is going to be a part of the future driverless cars, because this technology would not be safe as currently implemented. Friendliness comes from the keyless lock and ignition system which turns on a light in the rear view mirrors as you approach, and makes it incredibly easy to lock.

I've had my '14 Forester in the Limited trim model and I've been delighted. So many things people have already noted are true: the terrific visibility, the great mileage, the quality of the interior features, the quiet and stable ride. I've noticed, too, that it has a nimble feel, with a very tight turning radius. Responsive steering, perfectly adequate acceleration with the CVT normally aspirated engine. I'm happy with the sound system--I went for the tweeter upgrade--and I like the all weather package, power lift gate and leather which are standard on the Limited.

I will come back to update in a few months but I wanted to get my initial ownership impressions out there. Pros: Engine/Turbo - makes a car this large really fun to drive Transmission - High torque CVT with SI modes is best CVT I've driven. Not as fun as VW/Audi's dual clutch DSG, but still very good. Interior Room/Space - Car feels much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Exterior Styling - I've had three unrelated people tell me that the car's profile reminds them of a Porsche Cayenne - I'll take it! Cons: Sunroof: Rattles like crazy when open and doesn't have a tilt function. Seats: Not uncomfortable but not good either, even with the sport side bolsters
