2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Like the Camry Hybrid with which it shares a hybridized 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (good for 219 combined horsepower), the RAV4 Hybrid can get from a dead stop to 60 mph in under eight seconds--pretty quick. But it doesn't sound or feel pleasant when rushed. For the optimal experience in a... Comparison vehicle: 2019 Subaru Forester |

2014 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons gserink I was sceptical at first of the CVT but now I really enjoy it. However CVT is extremely noisy below 10 degrees Celsius and whines like a sick cat |

2017 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States - Stellar 250hp 4 cylinder turbo with selectable sports modes. - Scary fun to drive fast. The engine is a monster. - Terrific acceleration and passing power. |
Nice, not exactly buyers remorse, but probably not up to scratch. 2014 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons A member in Georgia, United States Very quick. Fun to drive. Still a bit high up to really trust the cornering, but feels good under heavy acceleration. |

2015 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Ericerau When shopping for a new SUV, I was adament I didn't want a CVT. However many manufacturers are starting to use them.I really liked the Forester and decided I would "deal" with a CVT. After having it for a few months, don't even notice it anymore except when rapidly accelerating... |

Google "oil consumption" and Subaru before you buy 2012 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member6218 Just turned 72k on this little car that I really DID love. Checked the oil at 2000 miles since change....about .75 qts. low. Thought I must have under filled it at last change. About 500 miles later another .5 qt. low. Out of warranty. Up to a quart every 1200... |

Good, practical car, but few flaws for enthusiasts 2014 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member3137 All wheel drive system is great. Hard to get the car stuck in snow. |

2014 Nissan Rogue Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Thanks to the ability of the CVT to rev the engine to the optimal rpm for any given situation, then hold it there, the Nissan Rogue's 170-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder motivates the crossover's 3,500 pounds well enough in typical driving. When driven for maximum fuel economy, the engine pulls smoothly (if... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Subaru Forester |

2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Stepping down from the XT to the 2.5i, you give up 80 horsepower. But, given how the Forester will typically be driven, the non-turbocharged, 170-horsepower engine feels plenty punchy. Over the course of the week I felt the need for more power...zero times. While the CVT does strive to... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Honda CR-V |

AWESOME small/mid-size SUV choice - the BEST! 2014 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons LMCRM I've got the "base" 2.5 litre 4-cylinder "boxer" motor with standard AWD and the Continuously Variable Transmission. The powertrain IS powerful - even with just 170 HP on tap, I've got no issues with acceleration. The engine pulls smoothly (although sometimes noisily at higher RPM) and it's easy... |

2014 Subaru Forester XT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Last year's Forester XT paired a 224-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four-cylinder engine with an antiquated four-speed automatic. The 2014 has a smaller engine--a 2.0-liter--but it's good for 250 horsepower. Even better for performance and fuel economy, it's paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). With a conventional automatic, engine speed (and... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Ford Escape |
2004 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member5793 As an XT, this car is great not just as a town runabout, but also as a highway cruiser. It has great takeoff from stoplights and tons of power on the highway. Just make sure to keep an eye on the speedometer because it is easy to not realize just... |

Loving the XT 2006 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member5610 The turbo 2.5L engine mated to 5 speed gearbox is very fun to drive. Power comes on strong around 3,000 RPM. 1st and 2nd gear are a riot. The first time I really ripped into 1st and 2nd was on an on ramp to the Hudson Parkway along Manhattan's west... |

2004 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member1800 I can see where having a turbo version would be a bit more fun to drive. |

2004 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member2495 It has power to start but is easily upgraded as well. |
|
2009 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member5130 The AWD on the Forester is fantastic. it makes up for the pretty lame 4speed auto. |

2011 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member4017 Going up the same steep hill, the Forester managed, but the TDI had power to spare and the difference was compelling. Forester X Ltd nice as it was just could not compete with the diesel in performance. |
2011 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member2351 The engine is adequate but nothing to write home about, but the AWD system is by most accounts the best in the segment. |
|
2010 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member4779 The 4 cylinder engine combined with the 4 speed automatic provides a decent city driving experience but on the highway it was found to be lacking in power. With the turbo you get worse mileage, have to use premium fuel and have less interior/cargo space. |

2006 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member3753 Power when needed. The symetrical drivetrain is a must for consumers in areas where snow is a problem. |
