Is 2016 Forester XT reliable?
The 2016 Forester has a reliability rating of three out of five from J.D. Power. While that’s average for a used vehicle (and higher than rivals like the Mitsubishi Outlander and Jeep Compass), it’s on the low side next to many other compact SUVs.
How Long Will 2016 Forester last?
The Subaru Forester is a durable vehicle and can last between 200,000 miles and 250,000 miles. This means with an average of 15,000 miles driven per year, you can expect the Forester to last around 13 – 17 years. This is dependent on proper maintenance and good driving habits.
Does the Subaru Forester XT require premium fuel?
If you drive a Crosstrek, Forester, Outback, Legacy or Ascent, your vehicle is designed to run on 87 octane, or regular fuel. Performance Subaru models – the WRX, WRX STI and BRZ – have a premium fuel requirement, but even with those vehicles, check your manual for information on which fuels are appropriate.
Is the 2016 Subaru Forester XT touring a high-riding station wagon?
We had a peculiar soft spot for the Forester XT of a decade ago. It was equipped with a turbocharged engine and a manual transmission, making it sort of a high-riding WRX, a backwoods-rallying station wagon. The 2016 2. 0XT Touring model tested here is not that car. Although still upright, rational, and off-road capable, it’s all grown up.
How much does the Subaru Forester touring cost?
The Forester 2.0XT Touring trim includes almost everything in Subaru’s playbook as standard. The only option is the aforementioned EyeSight+Navigation package, which brings the all-in sticker to just over $36,000. Pricey?

Is the Subaru Forester for the fans only?
A turbocharged Forester that’s not just for the fans. No one mistakes Subaru for a peddler of luxury goods. Its customers are practical, down-to-earth folks more likely to shop from the REI and Duluth Trading catalogs than to wear high couture, and we’ve taken a few mild pokes at granola and sensible shoes in our reviews of Subarus over the years.
