Mandisa Mfeka pilots the Forester
Major Mandisa Mfeka is in the spotlight for being South Africa’s first black female fighter pilot, and she certainly deserves the attention. We wanted to see what would happen if we put her at the controls of a Subaru Forester and let her loose – in a forest.
FIND OUT MORESafety
We think world-class safety on South African roads is essential, not an optional extra. That's why we've been crash-testing our cars since 1965, long before it was a legislated requirement. We’ve spent over 20 years developing safety technologies like EyeSight, the world’s first driver assist technology that uses only cameras to identify cars, cyclists, pedestrians and other hazards to warn you about them – so you can avoid potential dangers.

Technology
No other car drives like a Subaru since no other car is built like a Subaru. We are the first and only car company to deliver the drive distribution to all four wheels, all the time across all our models through our Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD) System. From the symmetry of our SAWD system to the layout of the Subaru Boxer engine, every Subaru vehicle is designed from the ground up to deliver the best driving experience possible. This means better control, better safety, and ultimately, better pleasure when you drive.

I’ve always loved a Subaru. I was in matric when they released the 2007 Impreza WRX STI (Hawkeye) and I’ve been in love ever since. Now I drive my own Subaru WRX and it’s like I’ve conquered a mountain and taken my life to the next seven steps – just because I own this car. Truly a fantastic machine and the handling is superb. Just gotta loooooovvveeee that Boxer sound, haha!
