If you're shopping for a new compact SUV near Greensburg, you'll likely find several models lining up to try and win your heart. But if you need a vehicle that handle your daily routine, conquer your weekend adventures, and do it with style and skill regardless of what Pennsylvania weather might cook up on any given day, the choice is clear: the 2018 Subaru Forester. With standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, great fuel efficiency, excellent ground clearance, and plenty of space for passengers and cargo, the Forester is a marvel in any weather both on and off the road.

Performance

The Forester is designed to let you go further for less, employing intelligent design elements and fuel-efficient technologies to help you sacrifice less for your adventures at the pump. A 2.5L SUBARU BOXER engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission comes standard on the Forester, generating up to 170 horsepower and getting up to an impressive 26 city/32 highway mpg when paired with the available Lineartronic Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT). If you need a bit more push, you can upgrade to the 250-horsepower 2.0L Direct Injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine. This will grant you up to 23 city/27 highway mpg as you gear up for your next journey!

Regardless of which engine you choose, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a standard feature on all Forester models that helps you take command of the road with improved traction, handling, stability, and efficiency even when weather conditions are slippery.

Interior

If transporting family, friends, and all the things you need to bring with you on your next excursion is the name of the game, the Forester is an excellent player. Up to five passengers can sit comfortably in the spacious cabin while groceries and gear can fit in the 34.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. Need more room for cargo? The rear seats easily fold down to clear up to 74.7 cubic feet of storage space so you don't have to worry about whether or not you have to leave something behind. An available power liftgate lets you make quick work of loading and unloading.

Want to bring a little more of the outside in? The Forester has available power panoramic moonroof to help you soak up the sun or gaze at the stars.

Technology

STARLINK Multimedia is standard on all Forester models, help you stay connected while working to keep your focus on the task of driving. Voice Command lets you take control of features like calls, navigation, and more so you can keep your hands on the wheel. Bluetooth, Pandora, SiriusXM All Access Radio, and other fun features help to make any trip go by a little faster.

Safety

When it comes to keeping you and your loved ones safe on the road, Subaru goes through great lengths to give you peace of mind. This shines through in the Subaru Forester and its available advanced driver assist system, EyeSight. The heart of the technology is its color cameras that monitor traffic in order to warn you of potential dangers. With this system in place, you can breathe easier knowing that you have an extra set of eyes watching out for you to help you avoid accidents.

EyeSight features include:

• Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Minimizes engine power if the system detects a possible collision in order to help reduce frontal impact.
• Pre-Collision Braking: Alerts you if you are in danger of colliding with something in front of your vehicle and applies the brake to help you dodge an accident (or at least reduce the effects).
• Adaptive Cruise Control: Adjusts your speed automatically to help you maintain a set distance between you and the car in from of you.
• Lane Keep Assist: Keeps an eye on where your Forester is on the road and warns you if you begin to unintentionally drift from your lane.

The Subaru Forester also features an available Blind-Spot Detection system to help you avoid accidentally merging into another vehicle and an available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to warn you when other vehicles are about to pass behind you. A Rear-Vision Camera comes standard, helping you back up safely. This feature is available with Reverse Automatic Braking,, a system that lets your Forester stop on its own if it detects that you are about to back into an object.
