What do people think
about Subaru Forester ? | Initial impressions having run this car for a short time - amazing! The UK model is "only" equipped with a 2l boxer engine, producing 123bhp (IIRC). For day to day driving this seems to be plenty. There is enough power available to overtake on A roads, without sacrificing fuel economy (at approx $1 per litre that is a bit of an issue over here!)
