Spacious interior, capable off road, strong diesel engine available

Wallowy ride, bland and dated cabin, limited engine choice, anonymous looks
Subaru's answer to the Toyota RAV-4 and Nissan X-Trail, the Forester is an off roader in the old-school mould. Some alternatives may be more refined and comfortable, but the Forester is incredibly capable on tough terrain and makes an ideal choice if you regularly tackle muddy fields. The old car built up a strong following, especially among those living in the country, so Subaru's decision to ditch the estate bodystyle and turn it into a more conventional 4x4 may surprise some. The benefits are a spacious interior and good size boot, but on tarmac it feels dated to drive with overly soft suspension and lifeless steering.
