| 02/17/2007 Well, as most of the UK came to a standstill last week due to the flurry of white power, nothing stopped me from doing whatever I wanted or go wherever I wanted. You see, my test vehicle was the big bold Subaru Forester with an even more intelligent All Wheel Drive Transmission. Yes, just like the TV advert, there was me in this Forester turning up to school, kids all excited as the prospect of a giant snowball fight with their friends, to find the gates closed and one shivering teacher informing the die hards like us, that due to lack of staff, the school is shut. Well maybe all teachers should be issued with the Subaru Forester I say with gritted teeth, as it took every ounce of my parenting skills to pacify my children that they would have to stay at home. So, yet again I will argue the case of the practicality of large cumbersome gas guzzling vehicles such as the Forester because they can and did get my children safely to school. This is thanks to the Foresters quick thinking full time AWD that splits power equally to both front and rear thus enhancing extra agility through corners. However, as soon as a slip is detected, such as this day when the snow came, in milliseconds and without me really knowing anything about it, the Forester distributes torque to the axle with the most grip, ensuring all occupants safety. The Forester now boasts an even better suspension offering a shaper more consistent steering feel along with enhanced cornering so a little thing like snow, may cause all the major transport networks to grind to a halt but it did not stop me. I was driving what can only be described as the best crossover sports utility vehicle on the market today. FemaleFirst.co.uk |
