Why buy a used Subaru Forester over a used Outback?
Subaru Forester models utilize a shorter wheelbase than the wagon-like Outback, improving mobility and handling in various environments in a small SUV design. Thanks to their boxy shape, used Forester models have a low dashboard line and large front windows, providing the driver with minimal blind spots in their field of view. In addition, Subaru Forester models can achieve better efficiency on the highway, achieving up to an EPA-estimated 33 MPG highway in newer models.
What are the differences between the Forester Limited, Sport, and Touring?
Forester Limited, Sport, and Touring models differ in their available equipment depending on the generation. The fifth-generation Sport models highlight mid-level amenities with trim-exclusive exterior accents, SI-DRIVE® engine management, and unique two-tone upholstery with contrast stitching. Limited models highlight leather-trimmed upholstery and dual-zone automatic climate control, sitting just below the fully-loaded Touring, which has additional standard features like DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and satin chrome exterior accents.
What is the Subaru Forester Wilderness?
Subaru Forester Wilderness models are factory-modified SUVs ready for rugged roads and weather conditions. Boasting a factory lift kit with 9.2 inches of ground clearance, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with dual-function X-MODE®, and underbody skidplate protection, the Forester Wilderness is ready for challenging trails ahead. Wilderness models also feature unique front and rear bumpers that boost protection from obstacles and improve approach and departure angles on uneven terrain.
