As with many of Subaru’s models, the Forester was originally launched in the late 1990s as a chunky, off-road-inspired model that could get people where they needed to go - wherever that may be. The present-day model, in production since 2013, follows much the same line, bringing genuine off-road ability and a chunky, go-anywhere look.
The Forester is a common sight on the used market, too, and though it may not be as popular as conventional choices like the Nissan X-Trail, it remains a great option for those drivers who need a reliable and assured SUV.
