It wasn't so long ago that Subaru was largely considered an obscure, niche auto manufacturer. Sure, it built rather durable vehicles but they just didn't move the needle for many buyers.
And then something changed. By convincing consumers that they absolutely needed all-wheel drive and by shipping more attractive vehicles, people started taking notice.
NOTE: Attractive is a relative term.
Although it is still a small volume automaker, the company has made tremendous headway in the growth of its business and product portfolio. As of today though one of its big sellers is the Forester.
While it's not a vehicle I'd want to put in my driveway, it is something that connects with volume. Why, you ask? Well, see Kelley Blue Book's review of the 2019 Forester and have some light shed on the matter.
Subaru's fifth generation Forester might not look a whole lot different from the previous model, but that doesn't mean there's not a truck-load of great stuff going on in this latest edition. Kelley Blue Book's Micah Muzio walks us through all the new goods from Subaru.
