Subaru has been faithful in creating and freshening its models in recent years, so there’s no worry that you won’t see the Forester for the SUVs. Yes, it’s a bad pun, but if it gets your attention, as the Forester will, then I’ve done my job.
Your Naples Subaru dealer loves this crossover and buyers are raving about the Forester as well. The Forester is comfortable and its all-wheel drive is made for the rough terrain as well as the freeway. Easy to maneuver, the Forester offers manual transmission, something you won’t find in similar sized SUVs.
In fact, it’s so impressive that Consumer Reports recommended it and it also made the top three in the compact SUV class in J.D. Power and Associates’ Dependability Study. Ft. Myers Forester owners can tell you why: this powerful machine also offers comfort and dependability.
With a new four-cylinder engine for the 2011 Forester model, Subaru has increased the fuel economy and that will make many of us take a second look in lieu of current gas prices. The price is nice as well, with the base starting at $21,220 for the manual transmission. The automatic transmission price starts at $22,420, still a bargain compared to other brands in this class.
The fuel rating is 21 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, which is nice, but that does drop a bit if you opt for the 224-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is available on some higher trims. Subaru’s European cars use diesel engines, but the automaker has not chosen to bring those to the U.S. Little wonder, diesel car engines have not received a huge welcome here.
Standard safety features like front and curtain air bags, traction control, electronic stability control and brake assist will please Ft. Myers Forester buyers. The 2011 Forester also received four of five stars in the federal government crash testing.
The Forester’s cargo space is wide and flat, making it convenient for loading. The interior space is roomy for cargo and passengers and it makes a practical family vehicle with all you need and a price you can swing. Lots of options are available at a reasonable price as well.
Customers of the Naples Subaru dealer will enjoy the options of heated seats without even springing for leather. The roof rails are a nice option as well, adding to the sporty look and feel of the Forester. This may not be the vehicle that gets you noticed, but it will get you where you’re going in style and comfort and considering the price, with some spending money in your pocket.
Subaru continues to provide reliable vehicles that families can afford. This company doesn’t need to go for the bling to give us what we want.
