Subaru Forester - Generation 3.1 (2008-2011)

SUBARU FORESTER (2008-2011)

Not anymore looking a wagon, the SUV Forester now looks one. Still based on the Impreza, this vehicle can be had with either a 2.0 non-turbo or a 2.5 turbo. It lost the frame-less windows of old, a feature of Subarus since the 70s.
