zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　The base engine is enhanced this year with electronic throttle control, and a new four-speed automatic transmission is available. An air filtration system is now standard on all Foresters. Also new this year is the 2.5 XS L.L. Bean Edition, which includes a myriad of interior and exterior trim enhancements, rugged cargo area trim and a self-leveling rear suspension.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Practical, well built and enjoyable to drive, the Forester offers an excellent balance of upscale features and all-weather drivability.
