Our selection of the Subaru Forester as 2009 Sport/Utility of the Year is not a reaction to prices at the pump, but a renewed appreciation for the value of the dollar and a thoughtfully designed, well-executed vehicle.

Subaru has enlarged its small Forester SUV, given it a better suspension, furnished even the base model with all you probably need and cut the starting price $1,200.

With a moderate entry price, a comfortable carlike ride, an awesome all-wheel drive system and a versatile and comfortable cabin, Forester is a smart choice. It’s so good it’ll actually have you looking forward to going out in the snow.

Perhaps Subaru’s last hurdle is the Forester’s image as a quirky car for quirky people. The latest model does a lot to overcome this, and it’s time mainstream shoppers gave it a look.

If you’re looking for a crossover that’s not as boring as a 60 Minutes anchor reunion, the Subaru Forrester should be right at the top of your list. It’s fairly economical, has more than ample power and plenty of storage space and versatility.

The Subaru Forester X is a fantastic machine. Test other small SUV’s first, and test them on an inclement day. Few can match the Forester.

The Subaru Forester offers foul weather capability with its all-wheel-drive system and it excels on unpaved roads and in other less-than-perfect driving conditions. Forester is stable and rugged off road, while there are no harsh spots to the highway ride.

The Subaru Forester is competent in all matters, excellent in none, and very odd-looking. It also may be the perfect first car. It’s a good, safe car that presents little danger to wallets.
