Subaru Forester 2.0X (A) Review

The Forester has received a transplant in the form of a new 2.0-litre Boxer engine. But can it stand up against newer crossovers?

Bring back the previous Forester generation please `

Test drove this new generation's turbo version and compared to the last few generations' turbo version which i had test driven too, this new model is too big and with that loses out in spirit compared to the slightly smaller older models.

Finally a 4x4 with guts `

After owning a CRV for 4 years swapping to the Subaru Forester 2.5 XT was like a breath of fresh air! It does not have all the widgets and comforts that Honda provides, it is a lot thirstier and it also demands a higher grade fuel [so more $$$$] but yet the thrills and driving pleasure that the Subaru provides is definitely a more rewarding experience!

Best car i ever own `

Test drive the car in March and within 7 days made the decision to place a booking just a day before the COE shot up sky high. It is a complete diff feel from a Korea car that i drove for 5 years and a GM MPV that i drove in China. Comfortable and the build quality is good. Somehow the 1st 2 tank of petrol i got about 8 km/litre but some how my 3rd tank is getting about 9.8 l/100km. any ideas? The engine is very responsive although the car weighs 1.5 ton. amazingly the ride is quite quiet.

Test drived and booked `

Outstanding as compare to old model. More spacious, quieter, comfortable, more head and legroom and also larger cabin. As for the power, it seems a bid lag during acceleration. Maybe due to its weight of nearly 1.5 tonne, over 200kg heavier than its competitors. Safety features are great, amazing 6 airbags for a below 80k ride. What can I ask for more.
