Subaru Forester 
Updated last year, the Forester offers a standard 170-horsepower, flat four-cylinder engine. A 250-horsepower turbo engine is also available in the 2.0XT trims. The 974-litre cargo area increases to more than 2000 litres by lowering the rear seatbacks. The Forester can tow up to 680 kilograms (1500 pounds). A manual gearbox is offered as standard in the entry-level version as well as the 2.5i Touring edition, while a continuously variable automatic is also available.
