Accessible, Capable: Road Tripping with the 2019 Subaru Forester


The 2019 Subaru Forester needs little introduction. Taking it through an extensive drive in the city, it’s more capable, comfortable, and refined than any of its predecessors. It’s not going to win titles like “Best Dressed” or “Most Athletic” of the compact crossover lot, but after a lengthy conversation with it (this time with a drive up and down La Union), it comes across as an impressive all-rounder. It’s the crossover that woos you, not after the first date, but perhaps after a series of dates behind the wheel.

Thankfully though, that day in Bali, we were behind the wheel of a Subaru XV, a car so well packaged that it’s seemingly designed to tackle the challenge of everyday life with poise and composure.

The Subaru Forester XT is Still Available and It's Priced the Same as the 2019 Model


So the all-new 2019 Subaru Forester just dropped into Philippine shores and what’s the first collective reaction: where’s the turbo?
