 Practicality 4.5/5
Subaru Forester
Subaru Forester
The Forester does not provide good fuel economy. The car’s fuel economy car be compared to a heavier 4X4. Owners report average fuel consumption of approximately 30mpg, which is reasonable. Insurance premiums will be average, and the car’s carbon dioxide emissions are high but the low list price will help to offset this.

The Subaru Forester 60/40 split rear seat can be folded to create a larger load area. with a firm, flat floor. Passengers will not be short on space. The cabin provides enough space that all passengers have more than sufficient room to be comfortable. Head and legroom are good.

The Subaru Forester instrumentation has a sporty feel. There are three large circular dials located in the centre of the fascia. These dials are easy to use and functional. The dials and controls are of decent quality.

The Subaru Forester steering wheel adjusts for angle only, and the driver's seat of all the models adjust for height. The seats should prove comfortable for most passengers. Front seats are firm and supportive, but rear seats aren’t as comfortable.

The Forester provides good access. The doors are wide enough to easily accommodate most passengers. Accessing and egressing the car’s cabin shouldn’t pose much of a problem.

The Forester shouldn’t prove to be too difficult to park. The car provides good visibility and the large wing mirrors help out a lot. Parking sensors are available on the options list but shouldn’t be necessary.

The low centre of gravity on the Forester increases the driving experience. Featuring full-time all-wheel-drive and standard rear limited-slip differential, the engine is responsive. The Forester is also an excellent towing vehicle.

The Forester would be able to fill the duties of a family vehicle easily. It offers more than enough passenger space and is rugged and durable. One of the reasons more buyers don’t consider the Forester when buying a family car is because the Forester lacks all the creature comforts that most modern people carriers include.

This is an unlikely first car. Most younger buyers opt for something smaller and more stylish. The Forester usually appeals to more mature buyers who tend to keep them for years.

The Subaru Forester boasts a quality build but is unlikely to turn heads. Most style-oriented buyers won’t give the Forester a second thought. Despite its merit it is probably doomed to be the focus of farmers and country dwellers without other buyers giving it a fair shot.
