Saturdays are usually activities day for us. So now, with the Forester, we headed straight to the driving range without hesitation. As usual, our favourite part of the ride, the blackhole of a boot gobbled up the golf set TOGETHER with our cute little Brompton and Strida foldable bicycles. Off to the East Coast!
As usual, parking at East Coast was a little chaotic on the weekends. Waited for 30 minutes before we got a parallel parking lot. The huge side mirrors, ride height and short bonnet made it a breeze, slotting into the cramp parallel lot. The crisp and precise power assisted steering wheel topped the experience off. The mute button coupled with other buttons controlling the 6-CD Changer and FM Radio mounted on the left of the steering wheel was a welcome addition as I found myself constantly using them.
The Forester certainly has road presence BUT, it ain't difficult to maneuver one bit. U-turning was smooth and sweet, it's agility and stability for a SUV totally caught me off guard. The missus even commented about the suspension(she knows nuts about cars), saying it was very comfortable over road humps as she wasn't flung all over while belted up in her seat.
After spending some time at the driving range, we were beat. We had a long journey back home which was gonna be tough for our tired bodies. Luckily for us, the plush leather seats of the Forester made the trip back home a cosy affair. How was I assured? The missus dozed off halfway through the journey....
