Hertel Auto Group is pleased to offer this fun-to-drive, adventure-ready, nicely-equipped, top-safety-rated 2015 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Touring All-Wheel-Drive Sporty Crossover SUV for Sale in Fort Worth Texas. t's difficult to imagine a more loyal group of owners than Subaru buyers. Quirky, non-traditionalist and thinking outside the box have always been the hallmarks of both the vehicles and their owners. In fact, if you're a new Subaru buyer, there's quite a lot to like about the Forester. Perhaps it's the standard all-wheel drive that appeals to those who live in wet and/or mountainous climes. Or perhaps it's the perceived ruggedness that encourages owners to pack up their dirty "Subies" with outdoor leisure equipment and venture into the woods. Whatever, the reason, the 2017 Subaru Forester - which was well into its 4th Generation (SJ) - still benefitted from a quicker gear ratio in the steering to benefit handling. The 2017 improvements though, most focused on technology with new features in their highly-lauded EyeSight Safety System and New Color Cameras that that provided a wider and longer field-of-vision than previous gen Foresters. Not to the let the good things go though, it generally retained its carlike handling thanks to an improved chassis rigidity, wider front and rear tracks and a new double-wishbone rear suspension that was carried over from the 3rd Gen (SH) model. On the road, this Subaru's "XT" Specific 2.0-Liter Turbocharged H4 SOHC 16V "Boxer" Engine had original specifications of 250 Horsepower (Up an eye-opening 80 horsepower over normally aspirated models) and 258 lb ft of torque while still returning up to an impressive 27 mpg on the highway. This extra injection of go-go juice gives the Forester the necessary ummph to leave EcoBoost Ford Escapes, Kia Sportage SX Turbos, Honda CRV's and even V6 Jeep Cherokees in the dust with its mid-6-second 0-60 sprints. So much for the old adage about Subarus' being boring econoboxes! Mechanically speaking, it starts, runs, drives and performs exactly like you'd expect a Subaru to, with no "Check Engine", "ABS" or "Airbag" lights present. All four Michelin 225/55R18 tires mounted on OEM 17" Alloy Wheels are in excellent condition. On the outside, this Subaru sports a beautiful Venetian Red Pearl Paint Scheme that is complimented by a Black Leather interior. For the safety conscious, the federal NHTSA (National Highway Transit Safety Association) gave the Forester five stars overall for crash safety, and the insurance industry's IIHS confirmed that praise with top ratings in every crash test including the challenging small overlap frontal crash - elevating it to a Top Safety Pick Plus.
