    Routine maintenance is straightforward and parts are readily available. However, some specific Subaru components can be pricier than average.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is functional but feels a bit dated compared to newer rivals. Features like Bluetooth and a backup camera are present, but the interface could be more intuitive.

    4 out of 5 stars
    The ride is generally smooth and well-controlled, absorbing most road imperfections. Seats are supportive, and cabin noise is reasonably well-managed for the class.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 2.0XT engine provides brisk acceleration and the turbocharged power is enjoyable, especially for an SUV. Handling is composed and confident, though not sporty.

2014 Subaru Forester: An Overview

The 2014 Subaru Forester marked the fourth generation of Subaru's popular compact SUV, arriving with a significant redesign that aimed to enhance its practicality, efficiency, and driving dynamics. This iteration emphasized an even more car-like driving experience while retaining the brand's signature all-wheel-drive capabilities and robust safety reputation.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The 2014 Forester offered two distinct boxer engine choices, both known for their low center of gravity and smooth operation:

    • 2.5i: This powertrain featured a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. It was paired with either a standard six-speed manual transmission or Subaru's Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This option provided a good balance of performance and fuel economy for everyday driving.
    • 2.0XT: For those seeking more spirited performance, the 2.0XT model came equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This potent unit delivered 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, also paired with the Lineartronic CVT. The turbocharger provided a significant boost in acceleration and responsiveness.
  • Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD): A cornerstone of the Subaru brand, Symmetrical AWD was standard across all 2014 Forester models. This system continuously monitors road conditions and intelligently distributes power between the front and rear wheels, and left and right wheels, to optimize traction and stability, especially in inclement weather or on slippery surfaces.

  • Key Safety Features: The 2014 Forester was lauded for its comprehensive suite of safety technologies:

    • Standard Airbags: Front, front-side, and side-curtain airbags were standard, providing occupants with essential protection in the event of a collision.
    • Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control System (TCS): These electronic systems work in tandem to help prevent skids and maintain control by automatically applying brakes and reducing engine power when slippage is detected.
    • Brake Assist: This feature enhances braking effectiveness by automatically applying maximum braking force when it senses a panic stop.
    • Available EyeSight Driver Assist Technology: Higher trim levels could be equipped with Subaru's innovative EyeSight system. This advanced suite of features utilized stereo cameras to monitor traffic, identify potential hazards, and intervene when necessary. It included:
      • Pre-Collision Braking: Automatically applies the brakes if a frontal collision is imminent.
      • Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Reduces engine power if a frontal collision is detected and the driver's foot is on the accelerator.
      • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically accelerating or decelerating as needed.
      • Lane Departure Warning: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without the turn signal being activated.
      • Lane Keep Assist: Can provide gentle steering input to help keep the vehicle within its lane.
  • Trim Level Summary: The 2014 Forester was offered in several well-equipped trims:

    • 2.5i: The base model provided a solid foundation of features, including power accessories, a rearview camera, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel.
    • 2.5i Premium: Building upon the 2.5i, this trim added features like heated front seats, a panoramic power sunroof, and alloy wheels.
    • 2.5i Limited: The Limited trim enhanced comfort and convenience with leather-trimmed upholstery, a power driver's seat, and automatic climate control.
    • 2.5i Touring: The top naturally aspirated trim offered premium amenities such as HID headlights, upgraded audio system, and the available EyeSight system.
    • 2.0XT Premium: This trim offered the turbocharged engine with many of the features found in the 2.5i Premium, plus sport-tuned suspension for more engaging handling.
    • 2.0XT Touring: The flagship model combined the potent turbocharged engine with the luxurious appointments of the 2.5i Touring, including the EyeSight system as standard.
  • Notable Aspects:

    • Increased Interior Space: The redesign brought a noticeably larger cabin, particularly for rear-seat passengers, offering more legroom and a more comfortable experience for longer journeys.
    • Improved Visibility: The Forester's redesigned body and larger windows contributed to excellent outward visibility, a significant advantage for maneuvering and situational awareness.
    • Refined Ride Quality: Subaru made efforts to improve the ride comfort compared to previous generations, making it a more pleasant vehicle for daily commuting and road trips.

What to Expect

Ownership of a 2014 Subaru Forester generally revolves around its practicality, safety, and the confidence provided by its AWD system. Drivers can expect a comfortable and composed ride, with the cabin offering a good blend of durability and refinement. The cargo space is ample for its class, making it suitable for hauling groceries, sports equipment, or weekend getaway luggage.

Maintenance: Subaru vehicles are generally known for their reliable engineering. Routine maintenance typically includes oil changes, filter replacements, tire rotations, and fluid checks. The boxer engine design can sometimes make certain maintenance tasks, like spark plug replacement, slightly more involved than in some competitor vehicles, potentially leading to slightly higher labor costs at independent shops if not serviced by a Subaru dealer. However, overall reliability is a strong suit, and parts are generally readily available.

Insurance: Insurance costs for a 2014 Subaru Forester are typically in line with other compact SUVs from reputable manufacturers. Factors influencing premiums will include your driving record, age, location, the specific trim level chosen, and the coverage options selected. Given its strong safety ratings and available advanced safety features, some insurance providers may offer discounts for equipped models.

Potential Considerations

While the 2014 Forester is a well-regarded vehicle, there are a few aspects potential buyers should be aware of:

  • CVT Drone: While Subaru's Lineartronic CVT was generally smooth, some drivers have reported a "drone" or a noticeable engine note during strong acceleration, a common characteristic of many CVT transmissions. This is more of a subjective preference than a mechanical issue.
  • Fuel Economy on 2.0XT: The more powerful turbocharged engine in the 2.0XT models offers exhilarating performance, but it comes at the expense of fuel economy compared to the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine. If maximizing MPG is a top priority, the 2.5i models will be the better choice.
  • Base Trim Amenities: While the base 2.5i model was well-equipped, some buyers might find the lack of certain comfort features (like automatic climate control or a larger infotainment screen) a bit spartan compared to higher trims or more feature-rich competitors in their base configurations.
  • Interior Material Wear: While generally durable, some owners have noted that the interior plastics, particularly on higher-touch surfaces, can show wear over time if not cleaned or protected regularly.

Overall Summary

The 2014 Subaru Forester represented a significant step forward for the nameplate, offering a more refined, spacious, and technologically advanced package while staying true to its core strengths of all-wheel-drive capability, excellent safety, and practical versatility. It is a highly competent compact SUV that excels in a variety of conditions, making it a sensible choice for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a reliable and capable vehicle for everyday life and occasional adventures.
