Offroad ability
Discussion
I have never been under any illusion as to how good Subarus are in poor weather, I've ploughed through some serious snow in the past high in the Pennines were we live. Today we went to Lowther Show and did a couple of circuits of the off road circuit Subaru UK had created. The current XT Forester with X-mode amazed me on some seriously steep slopes of saturated mud and grass, on standard Bridgestone tyres as well. It would have been good to have taken some footage, however I came across this from a couple of years ago in much gentler conditions than we encountered today. Still impressive stuff though……… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-ix8Xq6NJM
X-mode is really impressive, the hill decent aspect is brilliant, various abs related noises and groans but the car descended some seriously slippery steep inclines with very little fuss, doing a 'U' turn half way down such a slope was amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nxhd2itIp4
