9 Things About the 2019 Subaru Forester You Can't Find In A Brochure


The 2019 Subaru Forester has garnered its share of attention for one basic reason: it won’t have a turbocharged variant. It’s hard to imagine, but ever since the first-generation “SF” model back in 1997, having a forced-induction engine was one of this quirky crossover’s main selling points. Alas, adulting had to happen and this is what the world ends up with: the 2019 “SK” series Forester. Whether that’ll lead to the gentrification of Subaru, only a drive can answer, but for now, here are 9 interesting facts and figures you can’t get out of a brochure:

The 2025 Subaru Forester Is So Dull, It Will Automatically Pull Over When You Fall Asleep Behind The Wheel


This is the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester. We kid you not. Despite looking like a devolution of the current-generation model, the entire sheet metal is new. This is evidenced by its slightly longer length and wider body (wheelbase stays the same). Aside from that though, it’s very clear that the folks over at Subaru desperately need some design help.

No Turbo, No Problem: Can the 2019 Subaru Forester Out Drive the 2018 Forester XT?


When someone says turbo, power comes to mind. The power of speed, the power to push the limits, the power to break boundaries. In a way, this is what makes the Subaru Forester, particularly the turbocharged XT trim, special. But with the arrival of the all-new 2019 Forester, the turbo has bitten the dust not because Subaru is going mainstream, but because they figure: you don’t need it to be sporty.

Review: 2012 Subaru Forester XT

The Filipino car buyer is increasingly becoming picky. In the olden times, whether you wanted a basic sedan, a pick-up, or a luxury sedan, as long as it’s got four wheels, you’ll end up with a Toyota. Now, there are more than half a dozen mainstream brands, each one promising its own breed of ownership experience; be it bulletproof build or driver-centric handling. Subaru is one of these new players. After initially offering just rally-bred, turbocharged machines, Subaru is now taking their act to Main Street Manila. And today, not a day goes by without seeing at least one car with the Star of Pleiades badge upfront.

Review: 2013 Subaru Forester 2.0 i-L

Photos by Ulysses Ang
Driving the 2013 Subaru Forester through Sagada in the Northern Philippines and driving the XT on the streets of Manila proved to be just the beginning. Now, it’s the Forester 2.0 i-L’s turn to get driven.

Subaru has always cemented its reputation building turbocharged, championship-winning rally cars. After a time, this reputation has spread onto its road cars, where the most sought-after models typically have gapping hood scoops, bright-blue paint, and gold-colored rims. However, before getting into the world of motorsports, Subaru has always been synonymous with building solid, reliable, but somewhat quirky cars. Though the quirkiness has faded, Subaru continues the tradition of making bullet-proof cars (backed up by US-based data collector Polk that says 96 percent of Subarus purchased 12 years ago are still on the road). This tradition is pretty much alive in the all-new Subaru Forester 2.0 i-L—the compact crossover that manages to be the perfect everyday performer.

Review: 2012 Subaru Forester 2.0 XS


To many, the notion of having an automotive ‘facelift’ or a ‘refresh’ is simply a game of scrambling the specs sheet. It could happen via the slapping on of a new front grille, bumper, alloy wheels or perhaps a new interior color combination. Of course, to the increasingly knowledgeable Filipino car buyer, he or she knows that it’s not much different from the previous year’s model except the price has been hiked up tremendously.

Review: 2017 Subaru Forester 2.0i-L


Subaru is in a cusp. From building hardcore turbocharged tarmac-ripping machines, they’re now glorified grocery getters and soccer mom mobiles lining the driveways and garages of idyllic Stepford Towns globally. And that’s not such a bad thing given that for every hundred well-manicured, pooch-carrying, muffin-baking housewife out there, there’s just one Colin McRae wannabe. Now, before long-time Subaru fans will take to arms because of this travesty, it also goes without saying that this move doesn’t erase what the brand’s built up for more than 60 years. Case in point is the 2017 Subaru Forester 2.0i-L.

The Epic Journey: Driving the 2013 Subaru Forester to Sagada

Photos by Ulysses Ang
Road trips, especially long ones have to be planned meticulously in advanced. You have to take note not just of necessities such as food and accommodations but also of the route and weather. Traveling up to Sagada is often seen as an arduous challenge given the tight, twisty mountain roads as well as the lack of necessary infrastructure such as gasoline or service stations. It looked like something close to impossible: the perfect backdrop then to officially welcome the all-new Subaru Forester.
