the best performance available if you choose the 2.0XT. Its standard four-cylinder turbo 2.0-liter churns out 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and comes only with the CVT.

INTERIOR DESIGN AND SPECIAL FEATURES
Different textures and accents used in interior 2016 Subaru Forester provide visual appeal sufficient to offset crossover more affordable, but the general appearance of the Subaru continues simplicity-is-better philosophy of design. We are pleased to see the latest Subaru technology adds interface (Starlink) for the Forester. Even the base 2.5i comes with a touch screen with smartphone application integration (including Aha, Pandora, iHeartRadio and sticher), while the 7-inch screen graphics are updated and allows the use of movement expandirse- intuitive drag your finger to zoom in or out.
When Forester that really shines is in its function. The high point of the rear seats improve thigh support and leg and allow a better view. The feeling of space is enhanced by a large bunker that produces 34.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 74.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. It is nearly 4 cubic feet more than the Honda CR-V, which is always at the head of this class. The caveat is that you should stick to the basic model if you want large quantities, such as panoramic sunroof models fell 31.5 / 68.5 cubic feet, because the height of the lower deck.
