The Forester’s complete arsenal of active safety features includes a reverse camera, ABS Brake Assist, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and – of course – Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This vitally important feature means that the vehicle literally clings to the road. It gives the driver real confidence out on the roads… even on twisty roads or in lousy weather.

Another important feature is the vehicle’s superb all round visibility; this also helps to avoid accidents.
It comes as no surprise to learn that, as a result of all these features, the Forester has been rewarded with a five-star ANCAP occupant safety rating. (ANCAP stands for Australasian New Car Assessment Programme; this is a highly respected and completely independent vehicle assessment programme.)
