IFAR
1.5L Ecoboost
22/28

Not really sold on the new Subaru Forester front end.


Interior is largely the same, although new console design with better button layout. Addition of auto start/stop, which can be disabled via a button on the console or sport mode.


PROS:

- New engine tech; the new twin scroll 1.5L is impressive.
- Redesigned, less button-heavy center stack
- Electronic parking brake
- I think the front seats have also been re-shaped to give more knee room to rear passengers

CONS:

- Not a fan of the new styling, especially the blockier rear taillights
- Auto start/stop, but it can be manually defeated
