Log into the passenger cabin, relieved the condition of the body of the Subaru Forester looked outside. Means commensurate with conditions in the body look Subaru Forester. Instrument panel on the center console quite simply call it a CD player, but its components are integrated completely
With a 2457 cc turbocharged engine performance with the automatic transmission 4 Forester’s manual, the engine roar sounded like a diesel engine. But still reasonable for a machine that applies turbo technology. Forester Boxer engine with the configuration, and the driving 4WD Symmetrical All Wheel Drive is more stable when asked to maneuver.
To the front, MacPherson strut Forester uses that have been adapted to the rally field. Conditions that allow Forester run on tracks rocks and sand. Meanwhile, to use a double wishbone rear suspension. The technology makes the car comfortable terrace. Moreover, using the chassis of a typical chassis Subaru Forester for Rally. Only the chassis has been adjusted for body Forester is rather long. Remarkably technology on AWD cars do not seem able to make giddy.
For security, features such as ABS, EBD has become a common feature for Subaru cars, and there is also a pedestrian protection. Plus Dynamics Control System technology that support the Forester’s AWD technology. Both technologies work extremely effectively when a car driving on winding roads. The car was easily passing the road. Pinned to the inside also features 4 point seatbelt and SRS airbags that protect the driver and passengers with a maximum.
