Added touches
Performance and safety are the reasons most people choose
a vehicle. However, we all know the “added touches” are also
important. The well-equipped 2.5X features a wide range of
amenities, including heated mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise
control and an AM/FM/Weather band/CD audio system. For 2006,
a multi-function centre console has been added to the already
long list of standard equipment. 2.5XS models include stylish LED
turn-signal side mirrors and an all-weather package including cozy
heated front seats. The 2.5XS Premium with leather adds an extra
large moonroof, roof rack crossbar system and a premium
AM/FM/Weather band/6CD audio system. If you really want it ALL,
the turbocharged Forester 2.5XT delivers incredible power and a
long list of standard features as well as exclusive added touches
such as Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, sport
design instrumentation and optional leather upholstery.
You can’t help but love the 2006 Forester!
