Statistics show that the majority of Subaru owner usually remain loyal when they change their vehicles. This must be why Forester drivers also fit this category as the Subaru Forester really doesn't look all that special. Its quite an odd looking vehicle and looks more like a large boxy, family estate car rather than a full on 4x4.
The secret for Forester owners is that It's whats you get that counts - and off course how much it costs. If you compare the Subaru Forester with the Honda CR-V or the smaller Toyota RAV-4 the Forester's generous family sized interior and tough trim must appeal.
The Foresters other secret is that as its based on the rally wining Subaru Impreza, so it drives well, and offers good road holding, with excellent handling and confident steering, without any of the lurching or rolling around found on some 4x4s. .
The 2.0 flat-four cylinder Impreza engine is more than lively enough for the Subaru Forester, producing excellent torque and good acceleration. If more power is the priority there is the Forester Turbo S which can accelerate from 0-60 in 8seconds not bad for a 4x4. As its based on the Impreza fuel economy for the Forester is car like and 30mpg easily achieved, with a low group 11car insurance. Running costs are very reasonable thanks to above-average reliability and long service intervals.
Inside, the Forester has excellent boot space with split fold rear seats for practicality and a good level of safety features, including air bags for driver and passenger. The All Weather pack option adds front fog lamps, heated front seats, electrically heated mirrors and windscreen wiper de-icers. Leather upholstery is also available on the Turbo S model.
So what you get with a Subaru Forester is a 4x4 that that drives and handles more like a car, with strong reliable engines that have more than proved themselves. The Forester is a good 4x4 compromise, that can average 30mpg with a low insurance group and a strong resale value and a worthy consideration for part time off road work.
