2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium Sport Utility 4D

The Subaru Forester has a reputation it earned the hard way: real owners, real miles, real weather, and it keeps showing up. This 2016 2.5i Premium in a sharp shade of green is exactly the kind of well-rounded, go-anywhere SUV that made Forester a household name in places where the roads get interesting — and in Hampton Roads, they do.

Symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard equipment on every Forester, not an upgrade, which means you're never caught choosing between capability and cost. The 2.5L naturally aspirated engine is smooth, predictable, and tuned for real-world driving — commutes, weekend runs to the Outer Banks, hauling mulch, picking up kids, whatever the week asks for. Fuel economy is solid for an AWD SUV, and the automatic transmission keeps things relaxed on the highway.

Inside, the Forester punches above its class. The cabin sits upright and airy, with excellent visibility all around — one of the things Forester drivers always mention. The gray interior is clean and practical. Cargo space is generous for the footprint: the rear seat folds flat, and the low load floor makes loading and unloading genuinely easy. It parks like a smaller car than it feels inside.

If you've been looking for a reliable AWD SUV that won't require you to choose between capability and budget, this Forester is worth a drive. Come see it at RydeTime Auto in Suffolk and get a feel for why these things stay on the road so long.
