The Subaru Forester is a station wagon that handles like an SUV. It has standard All Wheel Drive. It also has a wider wheel base than most sedans. The AWD and wider wheel base are great for handling and you really get a great sense that you are fully in control at all times. It has a 2.5 liter engine so it is a lot smaller than a standard SUV one. This makes it economical on fuel however it still has the benefits of an SUV. It allows for backcountry access to awesome outdoor sporting adventures. This car is great in snow as well. It has great storage space as well as a standard roof rack. The Forester even has side mirror defrosters which blew my mind. It came with standard alloy wheels which look nice. This is also a great family car since it seats five comfortably along with everyone's stuff.
