2013 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Premium Sport Utility 4D Standard Features
2013 Subaru Forester
KBB.com Review
Kbb.com Expert Rating
If you like the ride and handling of mid-size sedan, but the need for maximum cargo space requires a more SUV-like solution, the Subaru’s 2013 Forester gives you the best of both worlds. Its low-profile boxer engine gives it remarkable poise in the curves, and its AWD lets it go places no car would dare to venture.
If you need room for seven, the ability to tow more than 2,400 pounds, or a rear seat DVD entertainment system, the Subaru Forester probably won’t make the grade. Its outdated 4-speed automatic transmission doesn’t provide the best fuel economy and the 5-speed manual isn’t available on the sportier turbo models.
