2008 Subaru Forester X Sport Utility 4D Standard Features
2008 Subaru Forester
KBB.com Review
You'll Like This Car If...
If performance is a prime selling point, Subaru claims that a manual-shift 2.5 XT Limited can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds, which is rather swift for a compact SUV.
You May Not Like This Car If...
Because the Forester delivers a choppier ride than some rivals, it might not appeal to those who favor an always-gentle road experience. Refinement is approximately on par with the competitive Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute, but it falls short of Honda’s CR-V.
