cool site: cars101.com/subaru/forester/forester2014photos1.html

Thanks for that - some stuff redundant or useless (chassis plugs?)...but the comparisons between the '13 and '14 MY are great - shows that the overall footprint and shape really haven't changed much.  I believe that's a US-spec model though, which does differ a bit from the Canadian version (especially as it relates to packaging).

I would  imagine that Japan has strict emission standards..being a densely populated small Island?.....so I don't buy the emission argument for the missing 26HP..............94 Octane is available at most PetroCans and Ultamar stations..................ONLY cost a coupla hundred bucks for the GOOD STUFF vs Regular in a years driving..why all the moaning and gnashing of teeth over this issue every damn time......!!???WAY less than a small timmies a day habit..and as fer SMOKES... ;) .and if your doing trips in the States their Premium is only aboot a 6cent differential.....

    Don't like the 10% EFFANOL  hic   in the 94 stuff...91 Shell V power ALL GAS ALL THE TIME......the ethanol is crap fer yer engine and power is half of real gas..................

Hmmm.... I kinda felt that I liked the 2013 exterior better than the 2014, but couldn't quite put my finger on why.  After seeing those side by side pics, it's definitely the rims (love the 2013 split-spokes), but also the slightly lower hood and roof height of the 2013.  I'm sure the 2014 model is better in every other appreciable metric though - except towing capacity (down to 1500 from 2400  lbs...BOO ???)

Subarus are meant to be driven in poor conditions, and yet they still won't offer headlamp washers.  ???

Why does there seem to be multiple old articles being reposted as new ones lately?  Or is it just me...

I keep getting tricked.  Oh new article!  Wait a minute....
