To top it all off, the Forester has a towing capacity of 1087 kg and can be ordered with any number of vacation-ready options, such as bicycle racks and cargo carriers. Last but not least, the Subaru comes equipped with numerous key safety features including a full complement of air bags and a ring-shaped reinforcement frame that consistently delivers exceptional crash-test ratings.
The Toughest Choice
People looking for a tough SUV with go-anywhere capability should definitely put the 2007 Subaru Forester on their shopping list. The more difficult matter is which version of the Forester to choose.
The Forester 2.5X starts at $26,995, while the 2.5XS begins at $31,295. While this might seem like a big difference in pricing, the 2.5XS does gain some key features including alloy wheels, heated front seats, an in-dash 6-CD changer and 4-wheel disc brakes.
No matter which Forester you select, though, you will have made a wise - if not terribly exciting - choice.
Grippy all-wheel drive system
Fantastic visibility
Tough interior materials
Useable storage space
More torque would be nice...
Or a 5-speed automatic transmission
Pricey compared to the competition
Not terribly exciting
