Reviews SummaryTwo distinctly different Subaru Forester models exist. The Forester 2.5i provides everything that is good about this compact crossover SUV in a sensibly priced package. The Forester 2.0XT adds power, performance, and a handful of exclusive features in an apparent bid to inject excitement into the SUV, but it comes at both cost and compromise. The version you select is entirely dependent upon what you value most, and both are ready for a significant overhaul beyond the minor sprucing up that happens for 2017. | |
Reviews Summary“Fake news!” We’ve all heard about it, but some of us clearly have no idea what it is. The answer is simple: Fake news is a news report based on something other than direct or reasonable circumstantial evidence. When it comes to the 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport, the direct and circumstantial evidence suggests that this new small crossover SUV’s name is the epitome of fake news. There is nothing sporty about the new Rogue Sport, except for maybe its styling. | |
