If you want a 5-passenger crossover SUV with the surefootedness that comes with all-wheel drive (AWD) and has great visibility, laudable fuel economy and above-average ground clearance all at cost that’s a good value up front and great in the long-term, you’ll find it in the 2018 Forester.
Another defining trait of the Subaru Forester is its boxer engine, which has a lower center of gravity but can sound raspy, especially at startup. If you want a compact SUV that’s more fun to drive and is among the best-looking of its kind, try the Mazda CX-5.
