SUBARU Forester

The 2.5i Premium adds a few features, including power-adjustable front seats, reclining rear seats, and a panoramic moonroof. The 2.0XT Premium comes with the same features as the 2.5i Premium, but it adds a more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The 2.5i Limited is the lowest trim that comes standard with a continuously variable automatic transmission (it was an extra-cost option in the lower trims when the car was new). It also adds a power liftgate, leather seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The 2.5i Touring trim comes with keyless access, push-button start, dual-zone climate control, a Harman Kardon stereo, and power-folding back seats. The top-of-the-line Forester 2.0XT Touring has all of the 2.5i Touring's features, plus a stronger turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The lower trim levels offer the best value of the six, combining a nice array of standard features with a lower purchase price. That said, if you want an SUV that has a little pep, we recommend the Forester 2.0XT Premium and its turbocharged engine.
