Which is why I was keen to get my hands on the fifth-generation Forester or to Scooby fans, SK. The new Subaru Forester quickly became the automaker's best-selling vehicle when it was launched late 2018.Īnd that's not a surprise, because SUVs are big business for most car companies in 2019. There’s a lot to like about this new model, especially the price! There is ample space for passengers and their detritus and its added off-road prowess makes the newcomer eminently suitable for outdoorsy/sporty people. It is, however, very well equipped and has a proven track record for lasting forever. To some, the Forester might seem a bit bland and that’s probably true, both in terms of its interior (and exterior) packaging. That said, the fuel consumption has improved a lot from that of its predecessor. The powertrain is capable within the confines of the city, but struggles a bit on the hills, freeways or when loaded to the brim. It remains a solid, reliable and hard-wearing SUV that’s got a bit extra to offer when you and your vehicle need to head off-road. The new Forester builds on the previous generation’s strengths of excellent ride quality and practicality. The Forester range stars at R429 000 and every derivative comes with a 5-year/150 000 km warranty and 3-year/75 000 km maintenance plan. The keen price of R499 000 for the 2.0i-S ES represents excellent value for a fully-specced car.
