Forester is Gold Star Car - Wheels Magazine Review

Forester XT Premium

Subaru’s Forester XS premium has been named Wheels Magazine’s pick for the 2008 Gold Star Cars Compact SUV category.

Forester was ranked ahead of Mitsubishi Outlander and BMW X3 3.0D – both of which cost between $4000 and $36,410 more than Forester.

It scored top points for:

Price (5/5),
Insurance (10/10),
Fuel costs (15/15),
Safety (15/15) and 
Drive (4.5/5).

Wheels journalist John Cadogan wrote: “Strong resale and nominal insurance costs are augmented by light fuel bills – less than the Outlander and diesel BMW.

“The fact the Forester offers an outstanding driving experience just sweetens the deal. This is the cheapest way into a good SUV; buy without regret.”
