The 2014 Subaru Forester?2.0XT Touring feels like a rare blend of versatility and performance in a crossover body—one that challenges the idea that being practical means being boring. With its turbocharged heart and full-time all-wheel drive, it delivers a more spirited drive than most in its class, while maintaining Subaru’s core strengths in utility and composure. In everyday driving, the powertrain is responsive and flexible: the 2.0?L turbo “boxer” produces strong torque low down, and the CVT (with selectable modes like Sport and Sport Sharp) handles changes in pace with relative smoothness. The system lets you use paddle shifters to fake stepped shifts, which helps reduce the monotony of CVT behavior in more enthusiastic driving. The turbo version gives the Forester a notable edge in overtaking and merging situations, making it feel planted and confident where a standard naturally aspirated crossover might lag.
Ride quality is surprisingly good given the extra performance pretensions. The suspension tuning is firmer than base models, helping control body motions in corners, but it doesn’t feel overly harsh on rough pavement. The Forester maintains a steady composure at highway speeds, with wind and road noise managed reasonably well for its size. Handling is more rewarding than many crossovers: steering feels direct, and the body doesn’t overcorrect or feel unsettled when pushed. It’s not a sports car, but it’s one of the more engaging SUVs in its segment.
Inside, the Touring trim elevates the experience with materials and amenities beyond what you’d expect in such a performance-oriented crossover. Leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an electroluminescent instrument cluster help the cabin feel more premium. The layout is functional, with good visibility, intuitive controls, and a sense of solidity. Rear seat room is generous, and folding the rear seats yields a capacious cargo area. The power liftgate and one-touch folding rear seats add real convenience, especially when loading with one hand. The infotainment and navigation systems imbue the vehicle with modern features, though the touchscreen design can feel a bit fiddly and the interface sometimes seems less intuitive than ideal.
On the safety and capability side, the 2.0XT Touring comes standard with Subaru’s full-time all-wheel drive, X-Mode for optimizing traction in slippery conditions, and hill descent control. With the optional EyeSight package, you get forward collision warning, pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning. These features give the Forester an edge in safety-assisted driving. Its crash protections are strong, with top ratings in many categories.
In sum, the 2014 Forester 2.0XT Touring is a compelling choice for buyers who want the practicality, space, and all-weather capability of a Subaru crossover but without sacrificing spirited performance or comfort. It doesn’t do everything perfectly—some interface quirks and typical CVT compromises remain—but it hits a rare sweet spot in the crossover field.
