2015 Subaru Forester Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
With a Top Safety Pick and Best Value under its belt, the Subaru Forester is a great choice in a crossover—especially if you don't care about the latest, greatest tech or the most luxurious interior.
The Forester is still fresh off a 2014 redesign that had everyone singing its praises. Motor Trend named it SUV of the Year, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) called it out as a Top Safety Pick. I’ve been a Subaru fan for many years and have logged my fair share of miles in Outbacks and WRXs alike, even driving one special example up and down the eastern seaboard. But for this new Forester, I just wasn’t sure what all the fuss was about. After a week with a 2.5i Premium trim, I understand a little better.
7/10
Available with either an asthmatic or turbocharged boxer 4-cylinder, the Forester follows the traditional design style of Subarus past and offers understated or slightly aggressive versions of the same car, depending on your choice of powertrain. Pick the regular 2.5-liter, and you’ll get a sharp, handsome crossover SUV that really has only aesthetic competition from the Mazda CX-5. Go with the turbo, and you’ll be treated with extra lines and angles that tell everyone you mean business in the way only forced induction can.
Regardless of choice, you’ll get a capable crossover that rides like a car, hauls like a truck, and can even drive over a few things if you so choose. The interior is still below par, and the infotainment system is one of the worst in the industry, but otherwise the Forester is a nimble, utilitarian, and—most importantly—very safe option in the segment.
For my week with the Forester, Subaru provided me with the 2.5i Premium (MSRP $25,095) with the added All-Weather and EyeSight packages for an extra $1,295 ($500 off for 2015), bringing the total to a reasonable $27,439 with delivery ($850) and the auto-dimming mirror with built-in compass ($199).
7/10
Subaru has come very close to providing a perfect balance of performance and economy with its series of boxer engines, but a few small grievances prevent it from getting top marks. The base 2.5-liter 4-cylinder can be matched with a 6-speed manual or a CVT in the 2.5i and 2.5i Premium, but move above that, and you’re stuck with the uninspired CVT. Not that the manual is perfect, either. The Forester I spent a week with came with the CVT, but I’ve driven the 6-speed as well, and while long throws and slight sloppiness keep it from inclusion on any best-of lists, it’s a great way to wring all the potential power out of the 2.5 and make that anemic engine a bit more fun.
But with only 170 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque, that fun is limited. Sadly this is made even worse with the 6-speed, where higher revs make the engine sound like it's really struggling. Harsh is the word here, and that’s a big penalty to pay when it takes 9 seconds to get to 60 mph. But on the bright side, the CVT will reward you with 24 mpg city/32 highway, while the 6-speed can manage only 22/29. For more power, the turbocharged 2.0XT comes with a 250-hp 2.0-liter engine with 258 lb-ft of torque. Even with the lackluster CVT, this engine provides plenty of power and can motivate the 3,300-pound Forester to 60 mph in just over 6 seconds. Sadly, it has a relatively low tow rating of just 1,500 pounds, a figure shared with the base Forester. But it doesn’t come with the expected fuel penalty and still manages a claimed 23/28 rating, though those numbers have been difficult to reproduce in real-world testing. My time with the Forester failed to replicate its claimed 27 combined rating, and my averages were most often in the lower-to-mid 20s.
Still, the Forester offered a nimble, agile suspension that was light enough for city and parking duty yet capable enough to tackle more aggressive terrain. All-wheel drive (AWD) kept things balanced, and the extra length in the wheelbase gained during the last redesign offered a composed ride even at highway speeds. Steering feel isn’t the most engaging in the industry, but I also encountered none of the vagueness or unpredictable modulation I’ve found with other electric setups. The Forester offers a good balance for a reliable family and grocery hauler.
8/10
When the Forester debuted back in 1997, Subaru was still an underdog offering more performance than most people recognized. Now that Subaru has become synonymous with rally racing, the Forester has actually lost some of that edge. Yet it still remains the competent commuter with some off-road prowess it was always meant to be. Outside, this story is obvious. The current generation looks like someone blended the old Forester with a second-generation Escape—edges are softer, and the profile is somehow more generic. It’s not bad, it’s just not as recognizably Subaru.
Inside, the cabin is awash in hard surfaces. The bulk of my time in Subarus was spent in the early 2000s, and this looks only a generation ahead of those plastic landscapes. The fact that so many have praised Subaru for the interior improvements of late only speaks to how bad they used to be. Of particular annoyance was a persistent rattle coming from the panoramic moonroof, situated frustratingly above my right ear. That said, it was a problem Subaru was eager to fix, and I absolutely love all the extra light you get inside with this feature. It's a must-have option in my opinion.
Faux aluminum accents are made worse with a “brushed applique” added to the door handles, and I worry about wear. A nice steering wheel is only slightly crowded with too many buttons, but it’s nice to look through the gap to see a simple, dual-gauge setup with a single info screen in the middle. Switches are nicely damped if a bit outdated, especially on the stereo, which is perhaps the worst offender of the “looks like it was sourced from a 10-year-old parts bin” group.
Seats look quite nice and fold flat in the rear with a one-touch mechanism for a full 68.5 cubic feet of space (74.7 in trims without the panoramic moonroof), but tend to feel a bit flat, especially if you try and test the AWD with some spirited cornering. Leg bolsters are the big issue here, as they squish like an overripe avocado rather than supporting like a compassionate spouse. That said, they weren’t uncomfortable and handled longer rides without fatigue.
4/10
Tech is one area where the Forester truly lags behind the competition. While every Forester now comes with a standard backup camera—just added for 2015—the screen on which it displays is one of the smallest, lowest-resolution setups in the industry at 4.3 inches. The sight of it in the dashboard was almost comical to some passengers, who likened it to the postage-stamp screens seen on old console televisions. The optional navigation system is $1,100 on top of the mandatory All-Weather and EyeSight packages ($1,295), and it’s simply dreadful. Luckily you don’t have to buy it, and even better, my example didn’t come with it, but I have been frustrated by this system in the past. If you do check the box, you’ll get a 6.1-inch touchscreen slotted into the stereo space, and you’ll spend most of your time cursing at its lag and poor resolution.
However I did get to test out the EyeSight system, which was included here (at a $500 discount for 2015) along with the All-Weather Package. It adds driver safety aids like pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise, lane-departure and sway warnings, as well as a pre-collision throttle-management system, all designed to prevent an accident before it happens. Subaru warns that this is an optical rather than a radar system, utilizing 2 cameras on the back of the rear-view mirror. Because of this, low-visibility situations may cause the system to disengage—things like fog, snow, rain—basically the times you’d need it most. I didn’t encounter a lot of that driving around Oakland, but the system frequently shut off in direct sunlight during my week with the Forester, and that just seems unforgivable. So basically you’re left with a system you can rely on only during cloudy days where it’s not foggy, raining, or snowing.
There are other little issues as well, some more confusing than frustrating. There’s an SD-card slot, but it can be used only for providing the navigation system with map data. Why even include it? You can get satellite radio, but the screen won’t display a list of the stations you can select. Strange.
9/10
If there’s one area in which the Forester excels, it’s safety. An IIHS Top Pick, the Forester delivers standard safety features like Surabu's lauded symmetrical AWD system, antilock discs, traction and stability control, and an impressive list of airbags including front pelvis/torso, side-curtain, and driver's knee airbags. Add the EyeSight system and you’ll get all the avoidance features mentioned above, with the braking system getting special recognition from the IIHS with a rating of Superior.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had similar things to say, awarding the Forester a 5-star rating, with only front impacts getting a 4-star score. Braking distance from 60 mph is average for the class, floating between 120-125 feet depending on trim, and honestly a figure I’d like to see Subaru (and all manufacturers) concentrate on dropping in the future.
8/10
Let me start by saying this, because it warrants mentioning: Kelley Blue Book has named Subaru the brand with the highest resale value and lowest cost to own for 2015.
Among competitors, pricing is right in line with that of the Escape, CX-5, and CR-V. The CX-5 and the Escape offer a more engaging ride, though you’ll have to pay a little extra for AWD. But you’ll also get better mileage with the CX-5 and the CR-V, and much better tech and interiors in anything you choose. With that in mind, it’s really going to come down to feel. Some people still aren’t used to the unique character of a boxer engine, so drive them all and see which seems most livable to you.

The Subaru Forester is a great car. It has many great features\options and is a good vehicle value depending on the features you choose. I had also looked at a Toyota Rav4 and Kia Sportage. Definitely prefer the Forester over the Rav and Sportage. Jan 17, 2022

Didnt care for all black including interior as well as exterior. The black leather upholstery had some stains that Im not sure could be removed. Also, the lens on the right rear taillight was broken. Tires still have some wear in them. It drove very nicely. Personally, I think the price is maybe $500 to $750 too high.Jul 29, 2020

I bought this car after having my last car for nine years - I was excited about having a new car; my first Subaru. That excitement was diminished very quickly when I had to add oil to it with only 1400 miles on the odometer.
If not for the oil problem I would be giving this car very high ratings.Nov 22, 2014

This is a recent purchase, so will update with new impressions once we have them. So far impressed with the car's comfort, space, handling, visibility, and efficiency. Comparable MPG and practicality to a sedan, yet adds AWD and more versatility. Mainly waiting to see how reliability and cost of ownership holds up - Subarus have a good name to them, so things are looking positive. Oct 05, 2014

While not necessarily a charmer from the outside appearances, once you're inside, everything changes. Unexpectedly great legroom, comfortable seating, well appointed accessories for the value and an truly excellent outside view all the way around.
Driving was also an unexpected surprise. The Forester drove like a car, was very solid, nimble in handling, and standard acceleration and breaking seemed to be very smooth and capable. I did notice if brisk acceleration was needed, like aggressively entering an onramp, the 2.5L engine tends to flatten out rather soon. Not bad at all for a small SUV, but won't turn heads.
I loved the ISight system which worked rather well, slowing us down from 65mph to a full stop behind traffic. It seems like everything was well thought out and accessable. We loved the test drive and bought it that day.
Cons were few (see Con's), however, we are a bit concerned regarding info we learned later regarding the reliability and warranty of Subaru products.
Prior to buying the Forrester, I had researched much regarding its workmanship, quality, reliability and warranty. I have since discovered a rather large number of fellow owners who are all saying the same things about Subaru's horrid failure rate and poor warranty response. Many are suffering head gasket, wheel bearing, radiator and brake failures, and some are under 60k miles. I will no doubt find out how significant this info is.
Would I recommend this to others?..... If the reliability/warranty issue is resolved, then absolutely. If not, then sadly no.Jun 27, 2014

After 10 years with my old car, I have been checking out what's on the market. I hadn't considered a Subaru until someone suggested how much their friend liked their new Forester. So, not expecting much, I test drove one, three times so far. I was very favorably impressed. For a SUV, handling was quite nimble but was still comfortable over rough roads, railroad tracks and the like, while remaining solid and quiet. The base 2.5i engine was more than adequate for my needs. The interior is very spacious and the visibility great.
The front seats could be a little better, but that can be said about most of the small SUVs on the market, and the overall design and infotainment systems are a bit out of date, but I can forgive that since I value the driving aspects of the car more.
Overall, it is a great value for the money, even at the higher trim levels. It's my choice when I trade cars later this summer.Jun 11, 2014

Radio won't work in 2015 Forrester after battery died and was recharged.
The battery went dead in my 2015 Subaru Forrester. We charged it with our home charger but now the radio won't turn on. It was fine before the battery died. How can I fix this.

I own a 2015 Subaru Forester. Clutch problems
I replaced the clutch once. Then 13,000 miles later had to replace it again. Mechanic said the car was running very hot. I am a very good driver and know how to drive a manual vehicle. I don't ride the clutch and only use it to switch gears. Has anyone else had a similar problem or have a solution. I don't want this to happen again!
