2018 Subaru Forester

The 2018 Subaru Forester continued its legacy as a highly practical and capable compact SUV, renowned for its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, excellent visibility, and robust safety suite. It offered a compelling blend of everyday usability and adventurous spirit, making it a popular choice for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone prioritizing all-weather capability.

Highlights

  • Engine Options:

    • 2.5i Models: Powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, producing 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant is known for its smooth operation and fuel efficiency.
    • 2.0XT Models: Equipped with a more potent 2.0-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, delivering 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This option provided a significant performance boost for those seeking a more spirited driving experience.
    • Transmission: Both engines were exclusively paired with Subaru's Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with manual mode and paddle shifters, designed to optimize fuel economy and provide responsive acceleration.
  • Safety Features:

    • Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Subaru's renowned AWD system is standard on all trims, actively distributing power to the wheels with the most grip, enhancing traction and stability in various driving conditions, from slippery roads to light off-roading.
    • Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology: Available on higher trims and optional on others, EyeSight is a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features that acts as a second pair of eyes. It includes:
      • Pre-Collision Braking: Automatically applies the brakes if a frontal collision is deemed imminent.
      • Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Reduces engine power to help avoid a frontal impact.
      • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver fatigue on highways.
      • Lane Departure Warning: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without signaling.
      • Lane Keep Assist: Actively helps to keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
    • High Beam Assist: Automatically switches between high and low beams based on traffic conditions.
    • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert & Blind Spot Monitoring: Available features that enhance awareness of vehicles in blind spots and approaching from the sides when backing up.
    • Excellent Visibility: The Forester's greenhouse design, with its large windows and upright seating position, offers commanding outward visibility, a key safety advantage.
  • Trim Summary: The 2018 Forester was offered in a range of well-equipped trims, catering to different needs and budgets:

    • Forester 2.5i: The entry-level model, still offering standard AWD, a comfortable interior, and essential features.
    • Forester 2.5i Premium: Added amenities like a panoramic power moonroof, automatic climate control, and a larger infotainment touchscreen.
    • Forester 2.5i Limited: Introduced more upscale touches such as leather-trimmed upholstery, heated front seats, and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
    • Forester 2.5i Touring: The most luxurious non-turbo trim, featuring premium materials, advanced infotainment, and the full suite of EyeSight features.
    • Forester 2.0XT Premium: Offered the turbocharged engine for increased performance along with the features of the 2.5i Premium.
    • Forester 2.0XT Touring: The top-tier performance model, combining the turbocharged engine with the premium features of the 2.5i Touring.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious Interior: The Forester provided generous passenger space for both front and rear occupants, with ample headroom and legroom.
    • Cargo Capacity: It boasted a significant amount of cargo space, made even more versatile by its wide liftgate opening and low load floor, making it easy to load bulky items.
    • Ground Clearance: With a standard 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Forester was well-equipped to handle rough roads, snow, and light off-road trails.
    • User-Friendly Controls: The cabin featured a logical layout with intuitive buttons and knobs for climate control and audio, making it easy to operate while driving.

What to Expect

The typical ownership experience of a 2018 Subaru Forester is generally positive, characterized by its reliability, practicality, and all-weather capability.

  • Maintenance: Subaru vehicles are known for their straightforward maintenance. Routine services like oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements are typically recommended every 6,000 to 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. The 2.5-liter engine is generally reliable, while the turbocharged 2.0XT engine may require slightly more attention to ensure its performance is maintained, especially if driven hard. Spark plug replacements are typically due around 60,000 miles. Valve adjustments are also a maintenance item for Subaru Boxer engines, which might be an additional cost compared to some competitors.

  • Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2018 Forester are typically competitive and depend on various factors such as your location, driving record, chosen coverage levels, and the specific trim you select. The Forester's strong safety ratings and generally lower incidence of major theft often contribute to reasonable insurance premiums.

  • Fuel Economy: The Forester's fuel economy is respectable for an AWD vehicle. The 2.5i models with the CVT typically achieve EPA estimated ratings in the mid-20s for city driving and low-30s for highway driving. The turbocharged 2.0XT models will naturally consume more fuel due to their increased performance, with ratings generally in the low-20s for city and mid-20s for highway.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Subaru Forester is a well-regarded vehicle, prospective buyers should be aware of a few potential drawbacks:

  • CVT Droning: Some drivers find the CVT's tendency to hold higher RPMs under acceleration can lead to a droning engine noise, particularly in the 2.5i models. While functional, it's not the most engaging sound.
  • Interior Materials: While functional and durable, the interior materials, especially in lower trims, can feel a bit utilitarian and less premium compared to some rivals, particularly in terms of soft-touch plastics.
  • Infotainment System: While improved over previous generations, the infotainment system, particularly on the smaller screens, could be considered less visually appealing or as responsive as some competitors' systems in 2018. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were not standard across all trims.
  • Road Noise: Some reviews noted that road and wind noise can be more noticeable at highway speeds compared to some competitors, which might impact the overall refinement for some drivers.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical, safe, and highly capable compact SUV. Its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, excellent visibility, and a host of advanced safety features make it a reliable choice for a wide range of drivers. Whether you're navigating daily commutes, facing challenging weather, or embarking on weekend adventures, the Forester offers a comfortable and secure experience. While it may not be the most refined or technologically advanced in its class, its core strengths in practicality, safety, and all-weather performance make it a sensible and enduring option.
