Want to know why so many people are driving the 2017 Subaru Forester in Madison? They're everywhere! And if you have yet to experience this compact crossover SUV for yourself, you may be wondering what all of the fuss is about.

 

The Subaru badging gives away its off-road cred, so even if you haven't driven the Forester, you can assume that some drivers choose this vehicle for its all-terrain tenacity. Sure, it has standard all-wheel drive like (almost) all Subaru models. It also has generous ground clearance, top safety ratings, and outstanding reliability. But what about creature comforts? Every vehicle is expected to be a bit domesticated these days -- even seriously sporty Subarus.

 

The Forester falls in line by receiving a comprehensive, comfort-oriented overhaul for 2017. Nips, tucks, and additions includes a revised Touring model with an all-new Saddle Brown leather, a heated steering wheel, keyless ignition, and available Sepia Bronze Metallic exterior paint. Every model benefits from added soundproofing, and Forester 2.5i models with a continuously variable transmission see improved fuel economy over the outgoing model. And best of all, Subaru expands the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology package to offer new color cameras, lane keep assist, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts, high beam assist, and steering responsive headlights.

 

Simply put, the Forester offers a bit of everything in a daily-driver package. Test drive one for yourself here at Don Miller Subaru West to experience the Subaru difference for yourself. We have many new Forester models to choose from as well as a variety of Subaru Forester lease options.
