The Subaru Forester won't be confused with other cars. Restyled for 2006, its appearance is unchanged for most 2007 models. Forester isn't likely to turn a lot of heads, although its sculpted aluminum hood, and particularly the working air scoop on the 2.5 XT models, subtly cry for attention.New for 2007, the Sports models feature sporty black mesh grilles and uniquely contoured front bumpers.
Compared to the typical mid-size SUV, Forester is a small vehicle, but it makes efficient use of interior space. It is, by intent, a fairly boxy machine, and its beauty lies more in its functional design. Despite its upright shape, the Forester is impressively aerodynamic, with a sedan-grade 0.36 coefficient of drag. Other things being equal, the more aerodynamic a vehicle is, the less wind noise inside and the better its fuel economy. Next Page
