Subaru Forester Virtual Test Drive
Edmunds.com named the Subaru Forester a top pick in the highly competitive small SUV segment and it’s easy to see why.
The Forester was completely redesigned in 2009, gaining a lot more space, and a lot more character. It has been one of Subaru’s top sellers ever since.
It boasts 20 mile per gallon in the city and an amazing 27 mile per gallon highway rating thanks to it’s powerful 2.5 liter 170HP Subaru Boxer engine, or the optional 224HP Turbocharged engine.
The best thing about the Forester is that it drives much more like a car than an SUV. The 4-Wheel Independent suspension keeps you comfortable and connected to the road, while the double-wishbone rear suspension helps achieve outstanding stability and control, while also absorbing the little bumps along the way.
Plenty of interior comforts are available as well, like a premium sound system with 6 CD changer, an ipod/mp3 console tray, an optional navigation system, and steering wheel audio and Bluetooth hands free controls.
Like all Subarus, the Forester uses Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive to automatically transfer power to any or all of the wheels giving you the most traction and control possible. Subaru is the one of the safest vehicle manufacturers in the world. In fact, Subaru was the only manufacturer with IIHS top safety picks for all models in 2010. Rain or snow, you can count on the Subaru Forester to get you where you need to go.
