In building the Subaru Forester, Subaru chose to focus under the skin, rather than make sweeping changes to the look… Changes to the front-end are subtle, and include new grille, headlight shape and bonnet. Back-end redesign is more obvious and has something of a narrowing effect on the car’s visual impact. Redesigned window openings and reshaped A-pillars are claimed to reduce wind noise, and the Forester now sports a more aerodynamic shape.

All Foresters are equipped with air-conditioning, CD player, cruise control, remote central locking, power windows and mirrors, and 16inch wheels and tyres.

.Stepping inside reveals a far more appealing visage than before, with better looking and feeling materials and an updated dash design. Getting positioned in the driver’s seat is easy with the steering column having a greater range and the seat being adjustable for height.

Rear space is more generous in the Forester and an upward-opening, single-piece tailgate provides easy access to the cargo area.. Forester also provides twin SRS airbags as standard and front seats are installed with active headrests.

The XT produces 155kW at 5600 rpm, and 320Nm at 3600rpm. That’s 38 percent more power than the naturally aspirated version, and with 43 percent more torque. Transmission options remain the same for the XT as the other Forester models.

Suspension adjustments and a lower centre of gravity, along with the inherent benefits of Subaru’s symmetrical drivetrain, are claimed to improve on-road handling and performance. XT models get a more sporty suspension tune than naturally aspirated models.

All second-generation Forester models are fitted with a limited-slip differential in the rear. Yokohama Geolander tyres are standard on all models and provide plenty of grip, but are quite noisy on coarse chip bitumen.

All models, including the turbo are available with either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. All non-turbocharged manual models feature dual-range transmission. A full-size spare wheel is standard on all models. Search Second Hand Opel Car Sales in Westmeath to find a car to suit your needs.
