I bought my forester xt premium a little over 2 months ago. A few weeks in, I tried to start my car, it wouldn't turn over. It sounded like it wanted to, and I held the turn for about 3 seconds. I released the key and turned once more and it started like normal. It's been happening more recently in the past couple weeks. The car is garage kept. It has also been cold outside, but as I said before, it is kept in a garage when not at work and it still happens. It's obviously still under warranty, but does this warrant a service call? Anyone had/have this issue? Any suggestions? I've been told to let it prime before actually turning the key to start. As far as I know, the car should start on the first turn in a brand new car...
2014 XT does not start on first turn

You aren't alone. We don't know the root cause for the hard starts, but there are theories. So far a definitive fix has not been offered. It seems like an annoying, but infrequent, non-stranding sort of problem. If you can, take it to the dealer. The more reports the better.
