The Forester got better
The 2015 Subaru Forester is a major improvement from its predecessor. Focus of the improvements are in the areas of gas mileage, storage space, flexibility, performance, and very handsome appearance that exude excellent outward visibility. Subaru calls it as an aggressive design.
The new Forester is also taller than its previous model and slightly longer between the wheels too, making it look like a cross between the Subaru Impreza and the previous Forester models. But it still features the lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) which further contributes to the vehicle’s improved fuel economy.
The 2015 Subaru Forester is also a partial zero emissions vehicle (PZEV) which means that it has passed and met the stingiest emission standards in the whole of North America.
It also has excellent creature comforts that give its occupants that luxurious feel of both driving and riding a very safe and versatile vehicle. And it also comes with a panoramic power moonroof to both literally and figuratively top it all.
It also has the right communications and entertainment consoles in the interiors including premium audio SiriusXM and HD radio, as well as Bluetooth.
