    Ignore the black wheels and racy orange highlights – the Subaru Forester 2.5i Sport isn't some turbocharged rocketship. It is, however, a competent, sensible mid-sized SUV.

    The Subaru Forester is an appealing mid-sized SUV overall, but the new hybrid version is neither fun nor frugal enough to offset its price premium.
