Miles Overview
The Forester is Subaru's compact SUV, a practical choice that competes with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. It handles well for an SUV, with a tight turning radius that makes city driving and U-turns easy. Inside, there's good space for the price, with a roomy trunk and handy rear cup holders that kids appreciate. Some owners mention the ride can be a bit bumpy, and a few have had issues with windshields cracking. Stepping up to the 2.5XT from the base X adds a turbocharger, a hood scoop, and a significant power bump for a more engaging drive. Its 2.5L I4 produces 224 horsepower and 226 lb-ft of torque, routed through a four-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, which gives it strong highway merging and confident all-weather traction. The 2.5XT gets a sport-tuned suspension that sharpens cornering, but the trade-off is a firmer ride over rough pavement.
