The new 2008 Subaru Forester comes as All-Wheel Drive with more interior room and more safety features than anything in its class,
but there's much, much more to it than these attributes. If you're looking for a reliable SUV, the all-new 2008 Subaru Forester is the car for you. The vehicle is rugged, sturdy, and tough. New for this year, the Forester comes in three distinct models:

• the 2.5X



• the 2.5XS



• the 2.5XS Premium

To select any one of the 2008 Subaru Forester models, or to read some information about all three of them, please turn to us. Our Forester review is the best site for info anywhere online.

With all three of the Forester models, you get a 2.5-liter, 16-valve, SOHC, horizontally opposed 4-cylinder that delivers 165 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and produces 166 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,000 rpm. The models also come with:

• Sequential multi-port fuel injection system



• Low-maintenance distributor-less electronic ignition system



• Engine Control Module



• All-Wheel Drive

With a combination of features like these, we could go on for hours writing our Forester review. Instead, we'll be brief, and leave you with time to go out and test drive a Forester for yourself.

A big component of our Forester review is the features that come standard with the models in this line. On the outside, some of those features include:

• Large dual power heated fold-away mirrors



• Windshield wiper deicer



• Multi-reflector fog lights



• Roof rails with cross bars



• Dual-mode rear window wiper with washer

On the inside, the new Forester models come standard with sport design reclining front bucket seats with height-adjustable head restraints, driver's seat height and lumbar adjustments, a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat, rear seat headrest for all three seating positions, 12-volt center console power outlet, an in-glass antenna, and a cargo area cover. But there's more - every model is available with a host of Forester accessories including bike racks, kayak racks, and a tow package, to name a few. Does it get any better than the new 2008 Subaru Forester? We think not.

Then, of course, there's safety. The Forester was a "Best Pick" among small SUVs by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and every new Forester model comes with a variety of features designed to make you and your loved ones as safe as possible. Some of these safety precautions include:

• Viscous limited-slip rear differential

• Dual-stage deployment passenger front air bag



• Front-seat head/chest side-impact air bags



• Three-point front seatbelts with pretensioners
