Why Subaru Forester S is a Great SUV
We’ve tested hundred of SUVs, and their ability for day-to-day use is varied. Subaru Forester has been a favourite for very good reason: It is safe, easy to drive, and excellent value.
Forester it is no raving beauty, but nor is it offensive. It is well equipped too, and after a long drive, is still as comfortable as the moment you first climb on board.
Forester S is practical as a daily driver, and that is its biggest strength. There is a ton of space in the boot, and a back seat big enough for 2 bigguns, comfortably. They have oodles legroom with a small tunnel making room for the drive shaft. The centre third is going to have to like it or lump it.
There is a full-size spare wheel, a must for long distance travel, and a 2.5L flat four boxer engine with AWD and a CVT automatic.
There are gadgets galore:
Subaru isn’t stingy when it comes to techy goodness either.
There are a few favourites such as the passenger’s side kerb-view camera for parking. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is standard, via USB cable. The sound is brilliant, coming from top-notch Harmon Karon speakers, and there is gesture control for climate temperature. We tried it but several attempts failed to have it going like it should.
Seat heating makes cold days tolerable, and there are all the usual driver and safety aids to make trips both comfortable and safe.
Much of the safety is “passive” and depends on good engineering. The shell has protected serval readers who’ve had unfortunate incidents and lived to tell the tale.
Although lane centering and lane departure make life easier, some of the warnings are just plain annoying. In the bin with them. The smart cruise control uses EYESIGHT stereo cameras to detect lane markings and any vehicles in front. If it sees a car ahead, it bings. It bings again when the car is gone. Why? Just, why? There is another double bong when the car in front moves off in heavy traffic.

The Engine and oily bits:
Our 2.5L S was adequate in the power department. It won’t set any land speed records, but nor is it a slug. Highway economy will get around 1,000km on a long trip, with 6.3L/100k from the 63L tank. CVT automatics are not among our 1st choices, but Subaru’s transmission has stepped ratios simulating gears under heavy acceleration. There are paddles if you fancy shifting ‘em yourself.
I love the ride. Macpherson struts at the front, and double wishbones at the back, give Forester the comfort of a large car, but handling is best considered leisurely. Soft suspension will get some body roll in corners, but the compensation is excellent ride on-road, or off-road.
Acceleration isn’t startling, but that little boxer has a pleasing sound when pushed, and is eager to get a move on. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, they have turbos in the parts bin, why not dig one out for Forester?
AWD proved to be brilliant on greasy roads after very light rain. The only time we’ve tried if off-road was a Subaru demonstration day where no doubt the cars were showed off to their best. They performed well but to go any further afield, low range gears are a must.

Who would Buy Forester?
We said in the video that Forester is popular among lesbians, especially those with kids. Their reasoning was safety and comfort. They also like the space and sturdiness, but they put comfort and value at the top of their list.
Young families and sporty types seem to be the target market, and you can tow up to 1800kg of braked weight, if you really must.
Conclusion:
Subaru is one of those brands who rarely put a foot wrong. They just keeping rolling out the improvements, and making the AWD system the best it can possibly be. Importantly, Forester doesn’t make any promises it can’t keep.
Forester is one car I’d happily own for a very long time.
