Important note: we added difficulty to the test for the Forester. Instead of having constant throttle we tried to stop in the hill, then accelerate and see how it handle it. Also we switch on and off X-mode sometimes! This system employs a multi-plate transfer clutch that maintains a 60/40 front/rear torque split and uses a range of sensors to automatically adjust this split on-the-fly as conditions warrant, creating more predictable handling.

With the push of a button, X-Mode controls the engine output, transmission, AWD torque split and braking system to help tackle the trickiest of conditions and bring even more rugged capability into sharp focus.

For 2017, the Subaru Forester receives additional noise insulation and quicker steering response. EyeSight safety system adds lane departure intervention and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert,automatic high-beam headlight control, adaptive LED headlights and reverse automatic braking.

Do you like the styling revisions that include new headlights and taillights? The freshened front end and grille are more good looking than the previous version!

The interior, a lot of plastic but we like that X-mode button or the new fabrics! Radio could be improved but sometimes sober is better!

We were surprised how smooth that suspension was on grass, bumps and pothole road! Although the 2.5 is not that powerful, it's economic!

There is a lot of competition out there! Among the best the Toyota Rav4, Honda CRV, Ford Escape, Kia Sportage (Hyundai Tucson)!
