Forester 2.5 XT is equipped with sunroof sunroof is wider than the existing model. Even more elegant aura shine by the presence of these features. When passing a jammed road we have trouble seeing either side of the article is not long enough Forester mirror even though the high thats enough.

Forester that we were riding equipped with gasoline engines Horizontally-Opposed 4-cylinder 4-stroke turbocharged DOHC engine with a capacity of 2.457cc. This machine is capable of producing power 230 PS at 5.200 rpm and maximum torque of 320 Nm at 2.800 rpm range. Sure enough to touch the figure of 120 km / h only takes a few seconds. Unfortunately, when the road conditions Surabaya city was crowded so we could not spur the Forester more quickly to maximum speed.

In the steering system, Forester adopts pinion type Hydraulic Assist maneuver so control is maintained. Increasingly perceived stability thanks to the support section MacPherson front suspension and double wishbone type on the back. Although posture gambot enough, agile enough to drive Forester.

Forester has been equipped with an integrated audio system in which there are feature SRS Circle Surround Automotive, 6-CD changer and 7 speakers.

Unfortunately, despite using an integrated audio system, but its still too standard. When compared with the audio system belongs to the All New Daihatsu Sirion taste, still less superior than Forester.

Because the new Sirion has adopted an audio system that has been equipped with MP3 Player, USB, Ipod and Bluetooth. Amazingly, besides being able to play songs from the phone via a Bluetooth connection activation, this feature can receive incoming calls and connect it to an audio device.

The theme of concept design is “Presence”, represented by the aggressive front facia and solid yet expressive body. Four powerful and defined wheel arches emphasize the dynamism of Symmetrical AWD. Sharp design lines carve out a substantial mass as they flow from the hood, across the roof to the trunk, while the sharp body lines project a sense of strength. Wedge-shaped Side Rear Vision Cameras are featured and provide a sense of flow from the momentum of the A-pillar lines. A character line runs from just before the A-pillar and sweeps up to the tail just above the taillamps.

This grille design combines the central wing motif that defines the Subaru Legacy's brand identity. Subaru logo separates the lattice shape in the center accented by sharp headlights with vertical layout of the dual-row dual LED lights. In addition,, a thin fog lights arranged vertically in front of nets with large air intakes angles add a touch of jewel-like front design. The CONCEPT OF LEGACY finished in a special high-sheen "Ultimate Silver" paint to accentuate the angle of the designs.

This LEGACY CONCEPT incorporates the Legacy heritage while also serving as a concept model that provides an image of the new driving comfort and reliability that will continue to serve as a touchstone for Subaru.

Subaru Impreza

Subaru Impreza is a car that is often used to rally race car because it was able to run in poor road conditions and on paved roads. In adverse weather conditions, this car could be to rely on. Impreza is the ideal size to explore around the city while still being comfortable on the highway with large trucks and SUVs. It’s solid, safe, and simple, with the added attraction of all-wheel-drive, so be ready for any road driving conditions.

Impreza sedan version comes with a 4-Door and 5-Door hatchback version. Styling of the five-door is edgier, while the four-door sedan looks more traditional. hatch is a bit sporty, shorter overall length, with a shorter rear overhang. short overhangs suggest a better handling and shorter overall length is useful in tight parking limits. hatch is also far more practical with a large cargo capacity.

Impreza has a road trip smooth and responsive cornering, due to some parts for a relatively long wheelbase (103.1 inches), and lower engine placement, possibly because the position of the four-cylinder horizontally opposed. This will lower the center of gravity and improve the balance, contributing to agile cornering. Moreover, the stock Impreza WRX quick steering rack, with 2.8 turns out-to-lock key, and a tight turning circle of 34.8 meters. You can certainly feel it, and good. This sporty.

Out on the highway, there are a lot of speed from 170-horsepower engine, with 170 foot-pounds of torque at 4400 rpm, to put the oomph behind the acceleration. We did not find a flat spot in power or those places lacking. Standard five-speed manual gearbox works well. The optional four-speed automatic works fine machines, including when you need to hammer the throttle to pass a truck in the fast lane two.

Subaru Impreza WRX 2010 Similar WRX STI

Subaru Impreza WRX, Subaru of America is launching the 2011 Impreza WRX with wide-body design similar to the one on the ship WRX STI. Stability and traction control are standard, along with the Star system which Subaru Assist trend known in the manual transmission 2011 WRX models.The track is widened by 1.5 inches on the front and rear, and the cars get a 1-inch-wheels and wider tires.

2011 Subaru Forester

Subaru has news for you. There’s little to distinguish the 2011 model from its 2010 counterpart. Up front, the grille and swept headlights work together to create a cohesive look that draws your eye down the side of the vehicle. Details like large insets for fog lights, flared fenders and boxy side-view mirrors help give the Forester more of an SUV flavor than other compact high-riders out there, and while we miss some of the wagon aspects of older Foresters.

Inside, there are includes the decorative swath of silver trim helps to brighten the cabin, the cockpit is still a little dark for our tastes. The driver is treated to a well-sorted steering wheel with controls for cruise, hands-free calling and the stereo within reach, and the set of somewhat plain gauges are easy to read day or night. 2011 Subaru Forester uses an engine that’s considerably more advanced than its predecessor. The old engine’s belt-driven, single-overhead cam design has been replaced with a chain-driven dual-overhead cam setup for better efficiency. The change helped net the engine an extra one mpg in the city on the EPA’s cycle. Additionally, the four-cylinder uses a marginally larger bore and longer stroke, tweaking displacement from 2,457cc to 2,498cc and helping to deliver an extra four pound-feet of torque 300 rpm sooner than the old 2.5-liter engine.

The new engine is still bolted to the same four-speed automatic transmission that Moses brought down from Mount Fuji. Whereas the 2010 Forester was saddled with the company’s characteristically tractor-esque rumble from under the rounded hood, the 2011 hums along with a fraction of the racket. The 2011 Forester still provides hilariously excellent driving dynamics given its lofty ride height thanks to a pile of DNA borrowed from the lovable WRX.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI A-Line Type S automatic

Subaru also released another special edition version of its sport hatchback for Japan, the WRX STI A-Line Type S. But unlike the R205, the Type S isn't about performance or handling improvements, it's about cosmetic upgrades.

Based on the Impreza WRX STI A-Line which was launched in early 2009 and combines Subaru's 300-horsepower 2.5-litre turbocharged Boxer engine with a five-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifts, the Type S adds Recaro seats treated in Alcantara and leather.

Subaru Stella Custom RS S Edition STI

Subaru decided to release a STI version of the Stella, the Subaru Stella Custom RS S Edition STI (You’ve got to love the tongue-twisting name). Unfortunately this Stella is for the JDM market.

First Look 2009 Subaru Forester

The forester of Subaru was called much things, but a thing which it is never called is beautiful. That all can change for 2009, when the forester undergoes his first ground-towards the top remade, by comprising a three-inch-length footing, three inches additional length, and recognition, all-new, to name macho more. What will not change is its large carriage, raise-suspension programs, but of the '09 model off-roading possibilities should be intensify-literal-thank with aucuns less than 8.9 inches for ground clearance. The behavior of assistance of on-road is its stiffer and all-new platform, which uses a new suspension of back of double-fork for the improved driving back prowess.

As with the standard model, 'forester 09 will be actuated by a choice of the four cylinder motors of boxer, each 2.5 naturally aspired liters of displacement and available in both and of the forms turbocharged. Better news is always that they will continue to be offered with a manual transmission, maintaining with the assistance of beginning of slope . Ah, and naturally, being Subaru, the forester will send anywhere never his power if not to each of the four wheels.

The forester will be available in a series of savours, of the low forester X to the bean edition of range- crimage L.L. Each one will draw benefit from a more roomy fuselage returned out of materials more high-quality designed to outdistance it its econo-car beyond that. The new interior devices and options include the fabrics double-piqu s of seat, the audio, and-final-a advanced systems the navigation system. Little of the summary of safety crossing also becomes include the standard ordering of stability, in addition to the bags of air of surround-sound with a probe of inversion.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI 380S concept to be unveiled in London

Subaru will use the ongoing British Motor Show in London to showoff its Subaru Impreza WRX STI concept vehicle. If the customers' feedback proves to be positive, the Japanese company will probably produce a limited lot of the cars during the next half a year.The 380S index means that the car is powered by an engine rated at 380 metric horsepower, which is an equivalent of 279.5Kw or almost 375hp. The 2.5-liter engine is "completely rebuilt" by Prodrive's engineers.

The car itself features new aero kit as well as upgraded exhaust system and suspension. It will seat on a set of silver or gold-colored 18.85-inch BBS light alloy wheels fit with 245/40 tires.

Subaru Impreza 2.5i 5-Door vs. 2009 Toyota Matrix S AWD

At some point in our recent automotive history, all wheel-drive (AWD) replaced front wheel-drive as the paranoid consumer's drivetrain of choice. The safety advantages of high quality snow tires (as needed) and a low center of gravity (in all cases) got lost in translation. Ready to capitalize on the AWD's popularity: the economy-oriented Toyota Matrix and the Subaru Impreza. Both diminutive scramblers aren't nearly as cheap or efficient as their front-wheel-drive cousins, and they won't off-road, tow a boat or carry seven passengers. Still, both cars offer a [potential] extra safety margin and [potentially] better handling. So if you had to choose one…

The Impreza and the Matrix were both recently restyled. The new Matrix looks like it's been hanging in Beverly Hills. And yet, even after a nip, tuck, stretch and smooth, the Matrix' bloated-Yaris profile remains. Though the car's tighter greenhouse and diving roof line improve on the prior model's anodyne anonymity, form comes at the expense of function (more on that later).

The Impreza hatch's-sorry, "5-Door's" restyle offers a sleek, ovoid look that's both familiar and jarring. Subaru achieved this paradox by littering a restrained, attractive shape with unnecessary, eye-melting flourishes (e.g. icicle taillights, and faux-Chrysler pilot wings on the grille). Select the "sports grille" option and plain black mesh replaces your slice of plastic corporate flair, transforming the Impreza's styling.read more on :

Comparison between which is better in appearance the Subaru Impreza 2006 or Honda Euro R 2.0?

it depends on how much you are intending to mod either one. if youre going to get the car and not mod it at all, then the subaru sti would kick ass every single time, but you'd be better off getting an evo. however if youre going to mod the shit out of the car and want to run 9's with it, you would want the civic, but youre going to get beat by any evo with more than 3,000 in the engine.

Detroit Auto Show: 2008 Subaru Legacy and Outback

Subaru launched the 2008 Legacy and Outback models at the Detroit show, and while it's largely business as usual for the all-wheel-drive duo, there are a few revisions that the Subie fans amongst our readership might find interesting.

After its kid brother, the Impreza, has gotten a new face time and time again, the Legacy and Outback have now gotten their turn under the knife. Sheetmetal up front is the biggest change for 2008. The Legacy gets a new, bigger, chromed-up grille; restyled bumpers front and rear with shorter overhangs; and new headlights and taillights. The Outback gets a bigger, more upright and rugged-looking grille, plus restyled fenders, restyled hood and new wheels. Stability control will be offered on more models, and a tire pressure monitoring system becomes standard. Both models also get some revised features inside.

The 2008 model year also marks the debut of the range-topping Legacy 3.0 R, transplanting the 3-liter DOHC 245-hp Flat-6 engine that's already under the hood in its Outback sister car. Paddle-shifters for the 5-speed auto are also new, and the car bobs and weaves on a Bilstein suspension setup. And while it may not have the clout of a premium German badge, the 3.0 R makes a compelling case against the usual suspects from Europe.
