	Subaru Forester (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The new 2003 Forester 2.5 XS from Subaru is a well rounded vehicle, both literally and figuratively.
		Neither a Station Wagon nor a Sport Utility Vehicle, the Forester brings together the best of both of these vehicle styles — a practical vehicle that is equally at home in suburbia and on roads less travelled.
		The Forester was outfitted with 215/60R16 Geolanda G900s from Yokohama mounted on 16" rims.

	Subaru Forester Survey Summary
		Subaru would not be disappointed because so far he has been very pleased with his vehicle.
		With the negatives out of the way NC notes that his Subaru handles exceptionally well and the ride "continues to impress [him] every time [he] encounters a rough patch in the road." NC is also pleased with his Subaru's acceleration.
		However, he does note that the Forester has "good (not great) carrying capacity." He recently took his Forester to the Outer Banks without a hitch, but he does note that although Subaru has raised the clearance of the Forester, compared to a sedan, an off-reader should still be careful.

	2006 Subaru Forester - The Car Connection
		Subaru is very comfortably selling a car designed for the existing buyer base, not trying for an entirely different one, which is so often the case.
		The Forester's handling is still tuned toward plenty of understeer; and the Yokohama Geolander tires (standard on all models) were very vocal in front when approaching the limits of adhesion.
		The Forester is a vehicle that's fun to drive on a dry road yet practical year-round, with the traction and capability to blast through snow in the winter.

		Boldly restyled, the next generation Forester is perfectly equipped to handle a multiplicity of different, fast-changing lifestyles.
		At the same time, Forester also demonstrates Subaru’s all-embracing approach to greater active and passive safety, particularly when it comes to protecting pedestrians and people in other vehicles.
		Forester: the ideal combination of performance car handling, estate car capacity and all-terrain ability, in one.

	Subaru Forester 2.5XT - Automotive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Forester is available with two engine choices, either a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four generating 173 horsepower or a spirited turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four pumping out an invigorating 230 horsepower and 235 foot pounds of torque (good chance it's more than you have right now unless you wield an S4 or M3).
		The Forester handles better than could be expected of a small SUV and for what it is, the Forester does what it does very well.
		Subaru's "symmetrical all-wheel drive," where the normal front-to-rear split is 50/50, operates in utter anonymity.

	Subaru Forester
		Despite the 4-wheel drive and raised ride-height, Subaru emphasise on the road going attributes of their 50/50 drive system, which redistributes torque to the grippy wheels when wheel spin is detected.
		The Subaru, like many others, is never intended to go into serious off-roading; climbing a few kerbs or traversing a bumpy back lane is as much as most owners will ever stretch to (something a 2CV would manage as well as most 4X4s).
		In reality, the Forester will negotiate the farmers field on the camping holiday, the speed bumps on your local back street and the arduous trek across across the local supermarket car park at least as well and any Shogun, Range Rover et al.

	Subaru Forester
		Since the Forester is a little higher off the ground than a regular car, it's much easier to crawl under the car and change the oil.
		Out of the factory, the Forester is a tad on the non-sporty side for me so I performed a couple of high bang for the buck subtle modifications.
		This is almost to the end of the road at the Utica Reservoir in the Stanislaus National Forest.

	Subaru Forester Reviews and Ratings - 2004 Subaru Forester
		The Forester 2.5 XT's standard full-time All-Wheel Drive combined with its 16-inch wheels and tires showed their prowess for negotiating the slippery, water logged road and kept me confidently moving ahead as multiple lightning strikes danced across the sky nearly simultaneously.
		While Subarus aren't nearly as popular in the southwest as they are in the northeast, the company's all-wheel drive technology (standard equipment in all Subarus) sure does come in handy in the wet weather and I am surprised that more desert residents haven't figured this out.
		As is the case with all its models, Subaru's Forester has two types of all-wheel-drive systems; both provide power to all four wheels under all driving conditions.

	USATODAY.com - Subaru brushes up on Forester (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Subaru's Forester small SUV has so much going for it: excellent all-wheel-drive system, good crash-test scores, a "top pick" rating from influential Consumer Reports magazine because of good road manners, top scores for reliability and owner satisfaction, and slower-than-average depreciation.
		And even though Subaru says some upgrades underneath were to improve the ride and handling response, the steering on the non-turbo model tested for a week felt a little over-boosted.
		Subaru is pretty thorough about its AWD designs, and there's no evidence to suggest it'll be other than very good in snow and such.

	Subaru Forester compared with Jeep Cherokee
		The Subaru Forester is, in some ways, the opposite of the venerable Jeep Cherokee.
		The Forester, though, is also a good everyday vehicle, with relatively good gas mileage (about 22 on average, very good handling, a comfortable if firm ride, and a quiet, easy to live with interior.
		Subaru's reliability record is strong, and the Forester is built on the durable Impreza platform.

		Despite its height, the Forester appears more tall wagon than SUV, largely because the body is not as high off the ground as that of a true SUV, or even that of the CR-V and RAV4.
		The driving position in the Forester, though not as high as in a true, truck-based SUV, is much higher than that in a standard car such as the Legacy.
		The dealer claimed that the Forester is the only SUV for which the government does not require a sticker to warn about rollovers (I do not know if this is true).

	Automotive Commentary - Subaru Forester Review - Elaine Marshall
		Subaru’s evolved attitude to the sports car is expressed in the 300 horsepower, rally-inspired 2004 Impreza WRX-STi and the rugged, off-roading 2004 Baja Turbo.
		Subaru still offers a normally aspirated version of the Forester, but for those who want more, the XT comes with a 2.5 litre intercooled turbo-charged four-cylinder engine, producing 210 bhp @ 5600 rpm., and 235 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm.
		A classic Subaru power plant, the XT engine is a “boxer” style, in which the cylinders are horizontally opposed.

	Subaru Forester
		After all, it was Subaru that in the 1970s introduced us to the compact, all-wheel-drive station wagon with some off-road abilities.
		That meant Subaru already had the all-wheel-drive driveline and suspension, and the four-cylinder engine with its cylinders opposed in pairs and laid flat.
		On its launch in 1997, the Forester was available in two specification levels: the base-model GX and the better-equipped RX Limited.

	Subaru Forester STi : News & Reports : Motoring : Web Wombat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru's parent company, says that the new Forester STi was developed as a "pure" sport utility vehicle, one that offers drivers 'superb' performance and high levels of practicality.
		Subaru Technica International didn't stop at the new look and more powerful powertrain; the chassis has come in for a good once-over, and with new inverted type strut suspension, not to mention a 30mm lower ride height, the Forester STi limits body roll, squat and dive during hard driving.
		The Subaru Forester STi's interior has also come in for a few sporty improvements, the biggest change of which is a pair of Recaro bucket seats for the driver and front passenger (complete with trendy STi embroidery).

	Subaru Forester STi - Car and Driver - August 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Up until now, the Forester tall wagon has always been the undercover performer of Subaru's boxer-engined family, which includes the Impreza, the Legacy, and the stonking Impreza WRX STi.
		The steering on the Forester STi is similarly transformed.
		Subaru's goal with this wagon was to create a hard-core Forester that could keep pace with a WRX STi but with more utility and for less money.
