As a brand, Subaru has been around for some time. In fact, as a manufacturer, a few years back they were, by volume, the 22nd largest automaker in the world. Outside of the obvious ones, did you even imagine that there are more than 22?
We digress. A popular alternative to more mainstream SUV-type vehicles, the Subaru Forester has quite the history. In fact, with the 2017 model year, this is the 20th anniversary of the Forester in Subaru’s lineup. Some might refer to this auto as more of a wagon-type configuration, others, not so much. Whatever descriptive nomenclature you call this capable all-wheel drive vehicle really does not matter.
The 2017 model we drove for a week was the Forester 2.5i Limited with the Technology Package option. Technically, this model year is a mid-cycle refresh that has undergone some cosmetic tweaks—especially to the exterior, including a new-look grill, upscale LED daytime running lights, and tail lights.
