New 2014 Subaru Forester

I am very impressed by this. 32 MPG from a CUV with AWD. That's better than the Escape AWD by a decent measure.

I was going to get the XV Crosstrek but why not get a Forester now?

Yeah! It looks much better! I have the 08 XT and this looks just as good! I'm not the biggest fan of the 09+ but this one looks much better.

I would get the current Forester, the new one looks just like a Rav4.
I would also assume the current Turbo XT Forester won't be available in 2014.

Subarus are rarely called out for their seething sexiness, but, a damn good car they are nonetheless. I've owned a few over the years, and will testify, brothers and sisters: That car gets around in all weather/ road conditions, it starts every time, and nothing breaks. You can try real hard to break stuff, but those are tough, well built vehicles.... not even "well broken in" until about 300k on the odo. Sexiness is a need that the Camaro fulfills with masterful beauty... but the Subaru will go where most cars can't.

Thats why Im going to buy one in a couple years. Unless Ford or GM can really impress me with something else but i doubt it. I want AWD and Subaru's AWD tech is unmatched.

Ill say it again, they are projecting 32 mpg and that is amazing, real world should see 30 easily. That bests the new Escape AWD which is projected at 30 but will likely real world 28 or 29.

I want to keep my purchase for 10 years and Subaru vehicles last forever, even with the CVT
