Under full acceleration, the Forester’s tires didn’t lose traction, and the vehicle handled well. In light off-road driving, the Forester dug in and grabbed the dirt well. However, if the tires begin to slip, the system automatically will adjust the amount of power sent to the front or rear to maximize traction. In normal driving, power is sent equally to the front and rear wheels.

A five-speed manual transmission is standard.Īll Foresters are built with Subaru’s reliable all-wheel drive system. Our test vehicle came with a four-speed automatic transmission that added $800 to the sticker price. Horsepower is rated at 165 - best in class. The Forester comes with a horizontally opposed, 2.5-liter, double overhead cam four-cylinder engine. In its current form the Forester - which is based on the Impreza compact - is really just a small minivan - not that there’s anything wrong with that. The Subaru Forester probably will sell well for the time being because, anything with all-wheel drive and a brawny visage is in vogue. This time it’s a rugged suspension system and the commanding view of the road you are supposed to get in an SUV. Subaru is the latest automaker to check in with a small sport-utility that is missing vital ingredients. In fact, there isn’t much sport in any of these utility vehicles. But none of them - the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage or Suzuki Sidekick/Chevrolet Tracker –is a serious off-road vehicle. In the last couple of years mini-sport-utilities have established a solid niche in the market.
