The new Subaru Forester looks more like a sport- utility than a car due to its boxy contours and height. Clever styling makes the Forester appear to be larger than it really is. This adds presence on the road, without the parking difficulties of a larger vehicle. The Forester is a practical, comfortable car with plenty of room inside for four adults. Its additional height pays off in headroom for all occupants.
Access is easy.
The hip-high seat cushion height means no step up or down when getting in or out. Just slide right in. Cloth and synthetic upholstery and interior trim of a contemporary Southwestern motif is functional and put together very well. The driver's seat is manually adjustable for tilt and lumbar support as well as the usual directions. Visibility is great.
