The 1996 Subaru Forester successfully combines the qualities of both a truck and a sport utility vehicle. This crossover is designed for both on and off-road driving with superb traction and handling in both dry and wet conditions alike. It stands noticeably lower in height then most in the class. The 2.5-liter engine offers 186 horsepower with improved low-end torque for faster off-the-line response.
