 The 2006 2007 subaru Forester is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the 2.5 X to the 2.5 XT Premium Package. Its closest competitors include the Buick Rendezvous, the Jeep Wrangler, and the Toyota RAV4. Subaru earned a perfect five stars in all front- and side-impact testing. 2006 2007 subaru Forester has won high praise for the high-quality look and feel of its interior. Forester is stable and predictable even when pushed beyond its modest limits. The steering is a bit vague at speed, and the soft suspension tuning results in some body roll, but for day-to-day driving, it's comfortable and controllable enough to suit most drivers. Upon introduction, the 2.5 X is equipped with a standard 2.5-liter, H4, 165-horsepower engine that achieves 21-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.
The 2.5 XT Premium Package is equipped with a standard 2.5-liter, H4, 210-horsepower, turbo engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 23-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The 2006 2007 Forester is a carryover from 2003. The Forester comes standard with full-time all-wheel drive. Subaru also offers a Hill Holder clutch feature on manual transmission-equipped vehicles. ABS is standard on 2006 2007 subaru Foresters, though XS and XT models get rear disc brakes and an Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) system. Active head restraints and side-impact airbags round out the Forester's safety features. Rear-seat passengers got a slight increase in leg- and foot room last year, but the rear quarters are still a little tight. Rear cargo room with the seats folded measures 64.1 cubic feet, a bit shy of the major players in this class.
