2016 Subaru Forester: A Comprehensive Overview

The 2016 Subaru Forester continues its legacy as a practical, versatile, and capable compact SUV, appealing to a broad range of buyers seeking all-weather utility, comfortable interiors, and a reputation for reliability. This generation, introduced for the 2014 model year, received minor updates for 2016, further refining its already strong package.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The Forester offers two distinct boxer engine choices, both renowned for their smooth operation and low center of gravity, contributing to excellent handling.
    • 2.5i Models: Feature a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain offers a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency for everyday driving.
    • 2.0XT Models: Equip a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivering a more potent 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This option provides a significant boost in acceleration and is ideal for those who desire more spirited driving.
  • Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Standard on all Forester models, Subaru's legendary Symmetrical AWD system provides exceptional traction and stability in various driving conditions, from rain and snow to light off-roading. It actively distributes power between the wheels to maintain grip.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Subaru is known for its commitment to safety, and the 2016 Forester is no exception.
    • Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology: Available on higher trims, this suite of advanced safety features utilizes stereo cameras to monitor traffic, providing functions like:
      • Adaptive Cruise Control: Automatically adjusts speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead.
      • Pre-Collision Braking: Can automatically apply the brakes if a frontal collision is imminent.
      • Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Reduces engine power if a frontal collision is detected and the accelerator is still pressed.
      • Lane Departure Warning: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without signaling.
    • Rear-Vision Camera: Standard on all trims, aiding in safe reversing.
    • Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Traction Control System (TCS): These foundational safety systems are present to help prevent accidents.
  • Trim Level Summary: The 2016 Forester is offered in several well-equipped trims, each building upon the previous one:
    • 2.5i: The base model, offering a solid foundation of features and Subaru's signature AWD.
    • 2.5i Premium: Adds desirable amenities such as alloy wheels, a panoramic power sunroof, heated front seats, and a more advanced audio system.
    • 2.5i Limited: Further enhances comfort and convenience with leather-trimmed upholstery, a power driver's seat, and automatic climate control.
    • 2.5i Touring: Represents the pinnacle of the naturally aspirated models, adding features like steering-responsive fog lights and the EyeSight system.
    • 2.0XT Premium: Features the more powerful turbocharged engine, along with many of the Premium trim's amenities.
    • 2.0XT Touring: Combines the turbocharged engine with the most luxurious features, including leather, the power driver's seat, and the EyeSight system.
  • Practicality and Versatility: The Forester boasts a spacious interior with ample headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers. Its tall greenhouse provides excellent visibility, and the large cargo area, easily expandable with the 60/40 split-folding rear seats, makes it highly practical for hauling groceries, gear, or even Fido.

What to Expect

Owning a 2016 Subaru Forester is generally a positive and predictable experience. Subaru vehicles are known for their dependability and longevity, and the Forester is a prime example.

  • Ownership Experience: Expect a comfortable and composed ride, particularly on the naturally aspirated models. The cabin is relatively quiet, and the upright driving position offers good command of the road. The AWD system instills confidence in adverse weather.
  • Maintenance: Routine maintenance will include oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements, which are typical for any vehicle. Subaru vehicles generally benefit from following the recommended maintenance schedule to ensure optimal performance and longevity. While generally reliable, some owners have reported occasional issues with CVT transmissions on earlier models, though improvements were made. It's advisable to check maintenance records and consider a pre-purchase inspection.
  • Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2016 Forester are typically competitive, falling within the average range for a compact SUV. However, specific rates will vary based on your location, driving history, chosen coverage levels, and the specific trim of the Forester you select. Higher-performance XT models might incur slightly higher premiums.

Potential Considerations

While the 2016 Subaru Forester is a strong contender, there are a few aspects potential buyers should be aware of:

  • CVT Transmission Characteristics: The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) on the 2.5i models, while efficient, can sometimes produce a droning sound during hard acceleration as the engine revs. This is a characteristic of many CVTs and may be something to get used to if you're not familiar with them. The XT models utilize a more traditional five-speed automatic transmission, which offers a more conventional shifting feel.
  • Infotainment System: While functional, the infotainment system in the 2016 Forester, particularly on lower trims, may feel a bit dated compared to newer vehicles with more advanced touchscreens and smartphone integration (like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are absent).
  • Road Noise: Some reviews have noted that road noise can be more noticeable at highway speeds compared to some competitors. However, this is often a trade-off for the Forester's excellent all-wheel-drive system and relatively lightweight construction.

Overall Summary

The 2016 Subaru Forester remains an excellent choice for those prioritizing practicality, all-weather capability, and a safe, comfortable driving experience. Its standard Symmetrical AWD, spacious interior, and available advanced safety features make it a compelling option for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who values a dependable vehicle. While the infotainment system might feel a bit behind the curve and the CVT can have its quirks, the Forester's core strengths in safety, versatility, and Subaru's reputation for reliability solidify its position as a highly recommendable compact SUV.
