2009 Subaru Forester XT Limited Sport Utility 4D Standard Features
2009 Subaru Forester
KBB.com Review
You'll Like This Car If...
If you like your SUVs to be true to the "Utility" in "Sport Utility Vehicle," while still being small enough to comfortably maneuver in a city, the Forester may be the vehicle for you. With a low starting price, standard AWD, proven reliability, more towing power than many others in its class and great visibility all around, there’s certainly a lot to love.
You May Not Like This Car If...
If you want a V6 engine, room for seven or rear-seat entertainment, the 2009 Subaru Forester may not be for you. And although a manual transmission is offered, the automatic is the only transmission available with the turbocharged engine.
