Subaru Forester SUV 2014 review: Subscribe to the Carbuyer YouTube channel: Subscribe to Auto Express: br It's not the best looking 4x4 ever made, nor is it the most desirable, but the Subaru br Forester is certainly one of the most useful. Not only is it extremely adept off-road, but there's also lots of space inside, so it's supremely practical. The choice of engines is limited and the looks aren't particularly attractive, but that shouldn't matter if you just want a competent 4x4 with excellent reliability.
