Miles Overview
The Forester is Subaru's compact SUV, the one that feels more like a tall wagon than a truck, and it's a natural pick if you want something smaller than the Outback but just as sure-footed. On the road, the Forester handles snow and rain with the same confidence as its siblings, and the steering is light and responsive for easy city driving. Inside, the dashboard is simple and easy to read, and with the rear seats folded down there's plenty of room for bikes or a load of fishing gear. Owners mention that the cabin gets a bit noisy on the highway, and some have had check-engine lights come on for no obvious reason, a common Subaru quirk. Stepping up to the Forester X from the base model adds the automatic transmission as standard, along with a few more convenience features, making it the more practical choice if you want an automatic for commuting. The X uses a 2.5L four-cylinder with a automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, which is enough power for daily driving and gives you the grip that Subaru is known for in bad weather.
