Entry-level Forester gets more

SUBARU has thrown extra equipment at its entry Forester X in an effort to maintain its position as the nation’s best-selling compact sports-utilityvehicle in 2005.

Priced from $33,990, the X comes with a sunroof, rear tinted windows, leather trim and rear spoiler, which, combined, are worth a claimed $5750.

According to Subaru, that creates an opportunity to save $3750 under the normal pricing scheme.

Subaru sold 12,320 Foresters last year, which was an all-time record for the model in Australia.
