We can tell you with a complete revelation – we all just adored old Forester in Evo. They were soft and comfortable, but not too much; all -wheel drive, but not off -road. First of all, we appreciated them for individuality and controllability.
Excitement about the new, third generation, exceeded all conceivable and inconceivable limits. It has become longer (a lot, 95 mm), above – in general, it rose to another milestone in the formation of Forester as SUV. On the other hand, this means more space in the cabin, which, however, is still damp and unattractive.
And now, some time after the appearance, Forester got a 2-liter turbodiesel type Boxer. It is on him that the greatest hopes are assigned – according to forecasts, this version will have 80% of the Subaru “Forester” sales. Non -reasoning: Consumption in 6 speaks for him. 4l/100 km in a mixed cycle. But the sucker, which is covered to 1550 kg, now accelerates to 97 km/h in only 10 seconds, and this is not good ..
Badly? If you need the latest generation Impreza with the appearance and habits of SUV, then not really. You are sitting high, the irregularities swallow, and the controllability has become more inert – in general, all the signs are evident. For those obsessed with a drive, this is nonsense.
Subaru assures that the main rivals of Forester will be Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail, as well as Toyota Rav4 and other representatives of this group. Without a doubt, the new Forester will find its buyer, but its owner will not feel as exalted as the same owner of the previous generation.
