Customer reviews are an important part of the shopping paradigm, but it's also good to know just how good experts think today’s vehicles are. Getting the most for your money right now should be a priority when car shopping. The New York Times Wheels Blog reviewed the new 2014 Forester and it should grab your attention.
New York Times’ reviewers loved the Forester, especially when testing it out on a rally track in the woods. But the truth is suburban dwellers will also find the Forester to be a great car. It has great visibility for easy driving and the CVT gets good fuel economy. Seats are comfortable and well bolstered and the practical interior is perfect for snow, rain, and dirt. It also has plenty of room for cargo, whether you're hauling sports gear or stocking up for the holidays.
The CVT system is different than other vehicles’ gear systems and drives differently as a result. The Forester has different computerized modes to change the throttle and feel of the car but as the NYT reviewer states, it does retain some of the “elasticy-feel” of a CVT. This isn’t a bad thing, however, because CVTs get far better gas mileage and power when you need it than a conventional car. Instead of having to go through every gear to get to the one you need or be stuck in a gear that just isn’t the right one, the CVT adjusts to just the right ratio.
The Forester is a
functional, quality car and plenty of reviewers and car shoppers have fallen in love with it.
For a family, it’s a car that just can’t be beat. Come in and test drive one to
see how a CVT system feels when driving -- you'll love the new 2014
Forester!
