The Forester is the most popular model that Subaru sells. The new Wilderness edition should dial up the demand. It adds rugged trim, a little more ground clearance, a modified transmission and X-Mode, plus StarTex water resistant interior. Your dog will love it. Tom Voelk checks out a model with just one option (an engine skid plate) and finds it to be one of the best Subaru he’s driven. It’s not fast, but it will get you to the better hiking trails.
