Acquiring a reliable Subaru in Baton Rouge and its nearby areas should be easy with the help of trusted car dealers like Covington's Baldwin Subaru. However, the problem could be choosing among the numerous models available on the market. To narrow down your choices, you ought to know that a bestseller among buyers is the 2014 Subaru Forester. Florian Godovits writes about some of the fine qualities of the 2014 Forester for the Epoch Times:
"While the 2013 Forester had a traditional 4-spd automatic transmission that delivered 21mpg in the City and 27mpg on the Highway, the 2014 Forester delivers 27mpg in the City and 32mpg on the highway with a CVT transmission. [...]
The door opening is about 5 inches wider, and additionally the seat height is up, whereas the sill height went down. The four-wheel-drive-system now uses new inputs like steering angle that lets it respond faster than the previous model."
The savings you can get from good gas mileage and the convenience offered by other improvements are only the beginning. The Forester is a crossover SUV that can serve many functions; it can easily shift from an outdoor vehicle to a family car depending on your needs. It can do so as it has a plethora of features that make it very adaptable.
First, a 2014 Subaru Forester boasts an all-wheel drive system. This is no surprise for many, but a Forester is the most affordable option if you're looking for a vehicle that has one. The powerful drive system can be great on the road, but it really shines in adverse conditions like on a snowy day. Driving a Subaru around Baton Rouge ensures that you won't be stuck anywhere you don't want to be.
Second, its practical and roomy interior is another noteworthy quality. For a compact SUV, the inside of a Forester is surprisingly spacious. The latest model boasts 41.7 inches of rear-seat legroom, an increase of three inches from its predecessor. Additionally, the maximum cargo space for the back with the back seats folded down is a sizable 74.7 cubic feet. You'll be assured of enough space, no matter what you're carrying.
Finally, you won't be disappointed by what's under the hood. Alongside being fuel-efficient, there's a powerful engine inside, whether you select the Forester 2.5i model which has a 170-hp 2.5-liter engine and a choice of CVT or 6-speed manual, or the more robust Forester 2.0XT model packing a 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with CVT. You don't need to be a speed enthusiast to appreciate the thrum of a powerful engine. Having the three advantages enumerated above definitely makes a 2014 Subaru Forester an excellent purchase for anyone.
