If you’re seeking a fuel-efficient compact SUV that must also be safe, reliable and affordable, the 5-passenger 2016 Subaru Forester compact-crossover SUV makes an excellent choice. Standard AWD and a host of advanced safety features make it a family-friendly compact SUV that can actually be taken off-road.
The 2016 Forester from Subaru isn’t the sleekest or most luxurious crossover SUV in the compact segment. Those looking for more pizazz both inside and out might prefer the Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Escape or Nissan Rogue.
