Subaru Forester Review Summary
"According to the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) front crash tests, the Forester was the only SUV in its class to be rated 'Good'"
"There's good low-rpm torque available for passing."
"[Base model] Forester L ($20,295) comes with a high level of standard equipment, including ABS..."
"Subaru makes one of the best all-wheel-drive systems in the world, rivaled only by Porsche and Audi."
"...terrific, huge power sunroof that opens over the front and rear seats."
"a no-nonsense mini-SUV for those who need the versatility of a small wagon with the grip of all-wheel drive."
What reviewers liked least about the Subaru Forester:
"...the three rear headrests block your [the driver's rearward] vision."
Subaru Forester Comparisons:
"...a lower center of gravity than most of its rivals, such as the Honda CR-V and Suzuki Grand Vitara."
"Because it isn't as tall as a sport-utility (it's 2.5 inches lower than a Toyota RAV4), it's easier to load a kayak, skis, sailboard, duffels or other gear onto the roof."
"...the Forester was the quickest [0-60 and in the quarter-mile] better than the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, among others."
Best one-liners about the Subaru Forester:
"... Forester also has that elusive and all-important automotive trait: personality. The Forester still has whimsy."
"There's nothing to fear from snow, mud, dirt, gravel or wet pavement."
