What Edmunds Says
Practical, well built and enjoyable to drive, the Forester offers an excellent balance of upscale features and all-weather drivability.
Pros
Standard all-wheel drive, two engine choices, availability of upscale features, class-leading crash test scores.
Cons
Price can be higher than some of the competition, tight on legroom in the backseat.
