Every moment I spend in the Forester, I am amazed by Subaru's AWD (All-Wheel Drive) technology. The company spent years developing a near-perfect symmetrical layout for maximum power delivery to generate ultimate stability when you drive a Subaru vehicle. And it feels pretty much perfect to me!
When people ask me, "So what do you like about it?" My response, "The drive." And it is true. I feel very much in control of the vehicle when I'm driving. It is very responsive and the ride pretty much goes wherever I want it to go.
Be it up and down multi-storey carparks, navigating the winding expressways and minor roads in estates and overcoming slippery roads in heavy rains, the vehicle gives me much confidence and makes me feel safe on the roads and it is important to me as I spend many hours on the road due to the nature of my job.
However, transmitting power to all four wheels means a loss of power during the initial stages of acceleration. With an empty road ahead, one will feel the slight delay before the power picks up again as it shifts to a higher gear. That being said, with Singapore's roads being chock-a-block with traffic, I don't see the need of accelerating anywhere. I'm just going to end up getting to the next traffic light faster.
