Exactly what I need

2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring PZEV 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
I keep seeing reviews of this car, saying that it is too spartan.
To be honest, I only need that and nothing more.
There are things that regardless of money, you simply can't find anywhere else aside from the Forester and those things are: easily the best visibility of any vehicule I've ever driven; best AWD system, best fuel economy for an AWD compact SUV, best safety rating in its … class, among the most spacious compact SUV, having among the biggest panoramic sunroof. For those reasons alone, I'm extremely happy with my purchase!
Honestly, I don't want to pay more for a name or for gadgets that would not make a difference if there's a snowstorm outside and that I needed to go somwhere.
My 4th Subaru- Much Improved

2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring PZEV 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
This is my 4th Subaru. I also had a 2009 Forester and it was a great car.
The 2015 is quite a step-up.
The CVT is an excellent transmission and I regulary get 34 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg around town.
The Subaru Forester is unstoppable in the mountains of western Washington.
The 8.7" of ground clearance allows the car to be driven almost anywhere.
The Premium package is simply … amazing for comfort and quality.
The Forester is quiet and easy to drive.
Passengers in rear find ample leg room.
The storage is quite good for hauling things.
The trailer towing capabilities are limited but that's why I have Toyota Tundra. Long road trips are easy on the back with adjustable lum
A Few Issues, But Overall Content

2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring PZEV 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
Almost 9,000 miles. Overall, I am pleased with my Forester. Biggest complaints are the tiny back-up camera display that is almost unviewable in sunlight and the less-than-advertised gas mileage. Other small SUVs appeared better in certain areas, but the Forester looked best overall.
Freeze your credit ahead of time if youre not financing through the dealership. I was presented … with a credit application as part of the dealerships routine stack of paperwork even though I had already made it clear that I did not desire or need Subaru financing. A frozen credit report means one less unnecessary inquiry by a business that doesn't seem to place much value on customer financial privacy.
Love my Subaru!

2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring PZEV 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
This is my first Subaru vehicle, and I am very satisfied with the car! It has surpassed my expectations (not an easy thing to do.) It is very comfortable, quiet, and handles better than I expected for a small SUV. The CVT transmission is quick to respond. Performance for the 2.5 litre engine is better than expected. Fuel economy is better than stated by EPA, averaging 27-30 MPG in mostly … city driving.
