2009-2012 Subaru Forester review
The new generation Subaru Forester is more spacious and versatile than ever before. The well designed, waist-height front seats provide easy access, and can be folded flat, whilst the high eye point gives you superb visibility for safer driving. The longer, wider body provides ample leg room and the convenience of rear reclining seats allow all rear passengers to sit comfortably. The reclining rear seats can split 60/40, and one or both can be folded down to create more usable space. The rear gate opens wide, and together with a low cargo floor level, makes loading much easier. The spacious luggage compartment is designed in the most effective way possible and has ample space to store a wide range of items. Leading the way in versatility, the new Forester can cope with whatever your active lifestyle throws in the back of it.Innovative Subaru transmission technology has been brilliantly designed to deliver everyounce of the Forester’s potential to the road surface. The electronically controlled, 4-speed automatic features gear lever-controlled SPORTSHIFT* that gives you the option to instantly change up or down a gear via the stick shifter, using ‘direct’ electro-hydraulic control. The intelligent SPORTSHIFT* features active torque split, which distributes torque to the front and rear wheels smoothly and quickly depending on your driving conditions and style. The five-speed manual has been meticulously engineered to complement our Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine to provide optimum power delivery across the full range of driving conditions, leading to smooth gear changes and reduced noise, vibration and harshness.Model Range:
