The 2011 Subaru
Forester could easily be one of those cars that speaks of an owner’s love of
dogs and children. Its generous-sized seats and expandable back rear area makes
it a great car for families who love to drive out on their weekends and
holidays. For families especially, the best thing about the car is its safety
features. In general, Subaru implements rigid safety measures to ensure that
its models surpass industry standards, and the Forester 2011 was designed to
provide maximum protection to its occupants.
Compared to the
old model, the new version’s sub-frame weight is reduced by 20kg to dispel
front impact forces in a collision. The body’s shell is made of a high-tensile
steel to provide better shield against impact in the passenger area. It’s also
equipped with side airbags and dual-stage airbags, anti-whiplash head restraints,
pre-tensioners and energy-absorbing seats, as well as child seat anchors and
ISOFIX-compatible child seat mountings.
This Forester 2011
also features an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force
distribution to control the braking force between the rear and front wheels,
based on weight transfer during deceleration. To complement this is a traction
control system that helps the car maintain contact with the road surface,
reducing the odds of tire skidding in slippery areas. The brake pedal is
designed to absorb force and detach under tremendous impact to prevent further
injury to the driver’s legs. The Forester’s other safety attributes include
remote anti-theft alarm and system immobilizer to deter security threats.
