Vehicle Overview

2008 Subaru Forester XT AWD.

This 2008 Subaru Forester XT combines the practical shape of a compact wagon with the added appeal of a turbocharged 2.5-litre petrol engine, a five-speed manual gearbox and Subaru four-wheel drive. It is a distinctive combination for drivers who want useful everyday space without giving up the involvement of a manual transmission.

The Forester's wagon body provides a versatile cabin and cargo area, while the split-folding second-row seats allow the interior to adapt to passengers or larger loads. Roof rails add further carrying flexibility, and the rear cargo blind helps keep stored items out of sight. With five seats and five doors, the layout is well suited to regular family or general-purpose use.

Power comes from a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The 4WD system, limited-slip differential and hill-holder feature contribute to the vehicle's all-weather mechanical specification, while independent front and rear suspension is designed to support composed road manners. The vehicle is listed with a braked towing capacity of 1,800kg.

Inside, the equipment centres on straightforward comfort and convenience. Climate-control air conditioning, cruise control, remote central locking, power windows and speed-sensitive power steering make longer journeys and daily driving easier. A leather steering wheel, sports steering wheel design and leather gear knob provide a more purposeful touch to the driver's environment, while the cloth-trimmed seats and split-fold rear bench retain a practical focus.

Its safety and control equipment includes anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, driver, front passenger and front side airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners and an engine immobiliser. The vehicle also includes active front headrests, five lap-sash seatbelts, ventilated front disc brakes and solid rear disc brakes.

Externally, the silver finish is complemented by 17-inch alloy wheels, colour-coded bumpers and side mouldings, privacy glass, roof rails and a roof-mounted rear spoiler. High-intensity-discharge headlamps, front fog lamps and headlamp washers add useful visibility equipment, while the rear wiper and washer support clear rearward vision in poor weather.

With its combination of turbocharged power, manual control, four-wheel drive and wagon practicality, this Forester XT presents a useful alternative to more conventional small SUVs. Its equipment is focused on functional everyday driving, while the manual drivetrain and turbo engine give the vehicle a more engaging character than its practical silhouette might suggest.
