MPG meets Dollars and Cents

7th: Subaru Forester, $2,396

If all-wheel drive and a crossover that isn’t too bulky fit the profile of your ideal vehicle, then Subaru has you covered with the Forester. With far less flash than many small SUVS, this ‘ute can take you across town or through the woods. The Forester is powered by a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, and the model ranked here has a five-speed manual gearbox. Besides, Subarus aren’t just for Vermonters.
