Je crois bien que Subaru vient de corriger une des plus grande lacune dénoncé par les journalistes par rapport au manque de puissance...
Selon subdriven.com
"Forester 2.5 XT inherits engine technology from the recently introduced 2004 Impreza WRX STi high-performance model and emphasizes strong torque at low engine speeds. The 2.5-liter powerplant produces 235 lb.-ft. of peak torque (43 percent more than other Forester models) at just 3,600 RPM for powerful responsiveness in real world driving conditions. The functional scoop in the aluminum hood provides fresh air to the engine-mounted intercooler. Subaru Active Valve Control System (AVCS) variable valve timing technology optimizes the engine’s volumetric efficiency at all engine speeds. The turbocharged engine also offers outstanding performance at high altitudes, where changes in atmospheric pressure adversely affect the power output of naturally aspirated engines. "
"A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, with a new Direct Control 4-speed electronic automatic available as an option. Models equipped with the 5-speed manual use the Subaru Hill Holder hydraulic clutch to help make starting off on an incline easier and safer. A 4-channel, 4-sensor anti-lock brake system (ABS) is standard on all Subaru models. Forester 2.5 XS and 2.5 XT models are also equipped with an Electronic Brake-force Distribution system (EBD), which enhances braking performance and stability through optimized braking force between the front and rear wheels."
