Long Subaru

After receiving a considerable number of revisions for the 2011 model year, the award-winning Subaru Forester carries over with its Subaru core technology, versatile interior, and efficient drivetrain for 2012.

Last year's refresh gave Forester a new grille, audio systems, and related electronics, as well as a brand-new, more fuel-efficient engine. With these and other modifications, Forester has maintained its popularity and following. (Read more about the 2011 Forester in Fall 2010 Drive.)
