I like subaru. If you can wait, 2009 Forester is a very good suv. see below:2 C2 T1 W0 F! ]; M/ V8 J. D$ c
The 2009 Forester was designed to create an alternative to traditional SUVs for anyone with an active lifestyle. The new model features improved ground clearance and drivability while maintaining Forester's practical off-road capability. Drivers may choose between naturally aspirated and turbocharged/intercooled 2.5-litre Subaru Boxer engines, both revised to provide better performance. In particular, low- and mid-range torque is improved in both engines for more responsive everyday performance. The robust body structure, heavy-duty raised four-wheel independent suspension and up to 225 mm (8.9 inches) of ground clearance help make Forester equally adept at negotiating twisty roads and absorbing ruts and bumps. The ride quality, acclaimed in the previous model as one of the best in the segment, is now even smoother and quieter. 3 E' u3 d6 g9 {8 L

As before, Forester is offered in a wide array of models. The 2009 Forester 2.5X is one of the best values in the segment. The new Forester can be enhanced with a Touring Package, and models with the automatic transmission may also be outfitted with Limited Package and 2.5XT Limited option packages.

The new-generation Forester makes a bolder SUV design statement while retaining its Subaru identity and clean lines. A larger, more pronounced grille, higher hood line, 'hawk eye' headlights and a large, contoured bumper cover with available fog lights give the front end a more confident appearance. More sharply defined character lines, and boxed front fenders and rear quarter panels accentuate the SUV profile. The rear design features larger light clusters. 3 i/ }6 g+ X$ I9 m0 b# y; _% l

New Chassis Improves Rigidity and Ride Comfort
- \$ ]# R* b6 V8 A6 z+ vLike Subaru's high-performance Impreza, the 2009 Forester platform is based on the Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (DC3). The new chassis and body provide improved rigidity and ride comfort thanks to the addition of high-tension steel at key structural points.

To its four-wheel independent suspension, the 2009 Forester adds a new rear double wishbone independent suspension and widened tracks, which enhance its car-like ride quality while providing exceptional handling dynamics. To further improve handling, the engine is now placed slightly lower in the chassis, which lowers the centre of gravity. All Foresters have a quicker steering ratio and more rigid steering mount. Foresters with 16-inch wheels are fitted with 215/65R16 tires; models with 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels ride on 225/55R17 tires. . V1 |. i# F: g6 e. j7 q" a S

The rear seat incorporates a new folding centre armrest and the standard 60/40-split rear seatbacks fold to provide a flat cargo floor, made wider between the wheelhouses by the new double-wishbone suspension.

The headlights-off with ignition switch is a traditional Subaru convenience that can preserve battery life, and the 2009 Forester offers several important new conveniences, as well. On models with the 5-speed manual transmission, the Hill Holder System can help prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when being driven away from a stop on an incline. This new feature represents an improvement over the mechanical Hill Holder system previously used in manual-transmission Forester models. With the optional automatic transmission, Forester is pre-wired for a remote-starting system. The dual gas-strut hood supports are easier and more convenient than a prop rod. 2 s7 L7 ~0 x4 Z0 U) \( p% F' c! p) W

Improved Torque, Better Economy
. u/ A0 |7 F- S, y$ \The Forester's 2.5-litre normally aspirated Subaru Boxer engine is modified for 2009 to improve performance, drivability, and economy. The engine delivers 170 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 170 lb-ft. of torque at 4,400 rpm. A new intake port design helps improve both low-end torque and emissions. A new optimized catalyst system provides improved emissions performance. The i-Active Valve Lift System (AVLS) ensures a broad torque curve and smooth response at all engine speeds, while also helping to improve fuel efficiency. The switch from a single rear muffler to twin mufflers - as on the Legacy and Outback models - reduces exhaust backpressure while ensuring quiet operation.
