2001–2002 Subaru Forester STi II Type M Specs & Performance

The Subaru Forester STi II Type M combines the everyday usefulness of a compact SUV with the performance-minded engineering associated with Subaru’s STI models. Its upright body provides practical passenger space and a more versatile shape than a conventional sports car, while the all-wheel-drive layout suits drivers who value traction in changing conditions. Five doors and seating for five support everyday usability, and the 14.3-cubic-foot luggage compartment provides space for essential cargo. MacPherson strut suspension at both ends reflects a straightforward chassis setup built around the vehicle’s practical proportions.

For the 2001–2002 model range, the Forester STi II Type M uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four engine producing 247 hp at 6,000 rpm and 228 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission sends power to all four wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 112 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 6.1 seconds. With a listed curb weight of 3,109 lbs, this performance-oriented Forester combines turbocharged power with the versatility of a compact SUV.
