Subaru Forester

Overview of the Subaru Forester

It was a bit hard to see at first just where the Forester fitted into the Subaru scheme of things. On the face of it, they’d come up with a four-wheel drive Impreza hatchback somehow developed into a square-rigged estate. The point being…? As ever, the wily Japanese had done their homework and insisted (as they would) that the Forester would be in strong demand. The desire for heavy, macho looking off roaders was waning but the public love affair with four-wheel drive wasn’t. For proof they pointed to successful ‘sports utility’ 4x4s like Land Rover’s Freelander, Honda’s CR-V and Toyota’s RAV4. Subaru also reckoned they’d found a niche for buyers who wanted a more car-like package (probably because they lacked the resources to engineer a full-blown RAV4 rival themselves). The company already partly met this need with models like the Impreza and Legacy but those were essentially cars with 4WD traction for occasional tricky circumstances. Hence the Forester rode a little higher than its siblings; it wasn’t a full-blown mud-plugger but could realistically tackle forest tracks, muddy car parks and boggy bridle paths. But under its shiny new skin, the newcomer was nonetheless something of a ‘parts bin special’ and shared even its dashboard with the Impreza.
