2014 was the first year they put a CVT in the Forester and it is super laggy for me. Also, my gas mileage was never great, but I understand they improved it in subsequent years. While the transmission hasn't crapped out in 130k miles, a bunch of other stuff has. Then again I have driven it across country and over some rough roads 4 times and about to do a fifth. I should have just waited a year and I'd have been a little better off. Then again, I didn't really plan on towing anything when I bought it. I'll probably just wait to buy a trailer until I get a new car that can tow more. Sigh. First world problems.?
