Subaru Forester Media Drive The Road Less Traveled
Gadgets|June 2019

The Subaru Forester is a vehicle that is beloved by those who have had the pleasure of owning one. Since the first ones rolled off the line and into the hands of owners over three decades ago, Subaru’s superb boxer engine, wonderful driveability and exceptional comfort have won people over time and time again. The newest iteration of the Forester brings even more features to the market, and Motor Image Philippines gave a few members of the press the unique opportunity to drive it all the way to La Union, and over some terrain that most Subaru owners wouldn’t even dream of tackling.

Subaru Forester Media Drive The Road Less Traveled

The drive started just after dawn at the Subaru showroom in Libis. After cars were assigned, the group went straight into a briefing tackling the activities for the day. We were to head straight from the showroom to NLEX, switch over to SCTEX with a brief stop at Subaru’s fuel partner, Shell for snacks, and straight to lunch at Ciudad Elmina in Dagupan City. It was then to be a ride to an undisclosed location to allow the Forester to show off its off-road and water-wading capabilities, and then a straight shot to Aureo to cap the activity off.

We were off just after 7AM, and the traffic was starting to build. I was in car 4, the 2.0i-L variant in silver, riding shotgun with Nics Calanoc of C! Magazine behind the wheel. This leg of the trip allowed us to get acquainted with the vehicle, and settle in for the long drive ahead. As a passenger, one thing became immediately apparent. The Forester is as comfortable as ever. The boxy shape allowed for a high ceiling, and its width translated into plenty of interior room.
