If a senior motorist wants something with a little more cargo space, the Subaru Forester is a smart choice. This crossover is reliable and safe, commodious and affordable, plus it comes standard with all-wheel drive, a major confidence booster in regions that experience inclement weather.
Thanks to its elevated ride height entry and exit are a snap, which is a boon for arthritic joints. The Forester also offers pleasantly simple interior controls and good outward visibility.

In its most basic form the Forester comes with a 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine that delivers 170 ponies. It comes standard with a six-speed manual gearbox but for an extra $1,000 you can get a continuously variable transmission. When equipped with the automatic the Forester starts at just about $24,000.
