Subaru's loyal followers praise the practicality, ruggedness and all-wheel-drive ability of their cars - and now, they're praising its reliability too, with a score of 97.37%.
Although its predecessor was more of a ruggedised estate car this Forester is traditional SUV.
The Subaru Forester's interior is very solidly built but the design is dated and the plastics are hard.
All engines are 2.0-litre 'boxer' units and there are two petrols and a diesel to choose from.
There are no complaints regarding the levels of standard kit.
The manual gearbox is good but Subaru's decision to fit a CVT automatic blunts performance.
Most buyers will go for the refined 2.0 litre diesel.
The Forester is more capable off-road than many SUV's.
There is plenty of room in the front and in the back.
The boot has a low, flat lip.
