Forester is "Peoples Choice"
Fairfax automotive website Drive.com.au has announced that the Subaru Forester has won its People’s Choice Award for 2008.
Drive.com.au said: “Subaru’s Forester compact 4WD has halted the Holden Commodore’s run of popularity in Drive’s People’s Choice award.
“Thousands of Drive.com.au readers voted the new-generation version of the Japanese softroader their favourite vehicle out of the 42 vehicles comprising Drive’s 2008 Car of the Year field.
“The Forester becomes the first imported car to win Drive’s People’s Choice award."
Fairfax National Drive Editor, Toby Hagon, said the result is reflective of changing Australian tastes, which is seeing people migrate to crossover vehicles.
"Australians have taken to vehicles like the Subaru Forester because, in many ways, it is the modern family car."
"It has the space and flexibility people want along with the economy of a four-cylinder engine and the ability to tackle dirt tracks or snow. It's also very competitively priced, well equipped and comes with a full complement of safety gear that's helped earn it a maximum five-star safety rating.”
Drive.com.au added: “The result reflects how the Forester has this year replaced the Toyota RAV4 as Australia’s best-selling small 4WD thanks to its combination of family practicality and proven all-wheel-drive mechanicals.”
