2017 Subaru Forester

The 2017 Subaru Forester continued its legacy as a highly practical and capable compact SUV, offering a blend of all-wheel-drive prowess, comfortable interiors, and advanced safety features that appealed to a wide range of buyers. It was a vehicle designed for those who valued versatility, reliability, and a touch of adventure in their daily lives.

Highlights

  • Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: This is a cornerstone of the Subaru brand and a significant selling point for the Forester. Unlike many competitors that offer AWD as an option, it's standard on every 2017 Forester. This system provides excellent traction and stability in various weather conditions, from rain and snow to light off-road excursions.
  • Engine Options:
    • 2.5i Models: Powered by a 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer engine, producing 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers a good balance of efficiency and adequate power for everyday driving and highway cruising.
    • 2.0XT Models: Equipped with a more potent 2.0-liter turbocharged Boxer engine, delivering a spirited 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This option provides significantly quicker acceleration and a more engaging driving experience, especially for those who enjoy spirited driving.
  • Safety Features: The 2017 Forester was lauded for its safety, earning top ratings from crash test agencies.
    • Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology: Available on higher trims and a significant safety enhancement. EyeSight is a suite of driver-assist features that uses cameras to monitor traffic, alert the driver to potential hazards, and can even intervene to prevent collisions. Key EyeSight features include:
      • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead.
      • 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 throttle is still engaged.
      • Lane Departure and Sway Warning: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane.
    • Other Standard Safety Features: A comprehensive array of airbags, a rearview camera, and Subaru's renowned Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame for enhanced structural integrity.
  • Trim Summary: The 2017 Forester was offered in several well-equipped trims:
    • 2.5i: The base model, providing a solid foundation of features and standard AWD.
    • 2.5i Premium: Adds desirable comfort and convenience features like alloy wheels, a panoramic power moonroof, and Subaru's Starlink infotainment system with a touchscreen.
    • 2.5i Limited: Further enhances comfort with leather-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, and a power rear gate.
    • 2.5i Touring: The top-tier 2.5i trim, offering premium amenities like a Harman Kardon audio system and enhanced interior trim.
    • 2.0XT Premium: The entry-level turbocharged model, featuring the more powerful engine and performance-oriented enhancements.
    • 2.0XT Touring: The flagship turbocharged model, combining the potent engine with the highest level of luxury and technology features.
  • Cargo Space and Versatility: The Forester boasts a cavernous cargo area with a low liftgate, making it easy to load and unload gear. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats further enhance its practicality for carrying both passengers and bulky items.

What to Expect

Ownership of a 2017 Subaru Forester typically involves a reliable and practical experience. Subaru's reputation for longevity and durability generally holds true with this model.

  • Maintenance: Routine maintenance will be straightforward and generally affordable. Regular oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations are standard. Subaru's Boxer engines are known for requiring a bit more specialized attention compared to inline-four engines, particularly when it comes to spark plug replacements. However, many independent mechanics are familiar with Subaru vehicles. Following the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is crucial for ensuring the longevity of the vehicle.
  • Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2017 Forester are typically moderate. Factors like your age, driving record, location, and chosen coverage levels will influence the actual premium. Its strong safety ratings and the availability of advanced safety features can sometimes lead to slightly lower insurance premiums.
  • Driving Experience: Expect a comfortable and composed ride, suitable for daily commuting and longer road trips. The standard AWD provides confidence in various conditions, and the elevated ride height offers good visibility. While not a performance machine, the 2.5i models offer competent acceleration, while the 2.0XT variants provide a more engaging and sprightly performance. The interior is well-designed, with intuitive controls and a focus on practicality.

Potential Considerations

While the 2017 Forester is a well-regarded vehicle, there are a few potential considerations buyers should be aware of:

  • CVT Transmission: Most 2017 Foresters are equipped with Subaru's Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). While the CVT is designed for fuel efficiency and smooth operation, some drivers may find its acceleration feel less responsive or engaging compared to a traditional automatic transmission. The Forester's CVT does offer simulated shift points to provide a more familiar feel.
  • Road Noise: Some reviews have noted that the 2017 Forester can be a bit noisier than some of its competitors, particularly at highway speeds. Tire noise and wind noise can be more noticeable inside the cabin. Choosing quieter aftermarket tires can sometimes help mitigate this.
  • Infotainment System: While functional, the infotainment system, especially on lower trims, might feel a bit dated compared to the larger touchscreens and more advanced interfaces found in some newer vehicles or competitors. The user interface can be somewhat less intuitive for some users.
  • Engine Oil Consumption (for some models): While not widespread, some Subaru Boxer engines, particularly the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, have been known to exhibit some oil consumption over time. It's advisable to regularly check your oil level, especially if you notice the oil warning light.

Overall Summary

The 2017 Subaru Forester stands out as a sensible and highly capable compact SUV that delivers on its promises of versatility, all-weather confidence, and robust safety. Its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, practical interior with ample cargo space, and the availability of advanced driver-assist technologies like EyeSight make it an excellent choice for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a reliable and well-rounded vehicle. While it may not offer the most exciting driving dynamics or the quietest cabin in its class, its inherent strengths in practicality and safety solidify its position as a compelling option in the competitive SUV market.
