The Subaru Forester S/tb-STiII combines the practicality of a compact SUV with the character of a turbocharged performance model. Its upright profile and five-door body provide everyday versatility, while the all-wheel-drive layout reflects Subaru’s focus on traction and control. The cabin accommodates five occupants, and the 14.3–53.4 cubic feet of listed luggage space allows the cargo area to adapt to different carrying needs. MacPherson strut suspension at both ends supports a conventional chassis layout that suits its blend of utility and sporting intent.
For the 2000–2001 model range, the Forester S/tb-STiII uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four engine producing 237 hp at 6,000 rpm and 228 lb-ft of torque at 3,750 rpm. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 137 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 6.3 seconds. With a curb weight of 3,153 lbs, it combines turbocharged performance with the flexibility expected of a compact SUV.
