Subaru Forester X
Australia's Best Cars

Best Recreational Four Wheel Drive category winner 2006 Australia's Best Car awards

Australia's Best Car said: "By handling like a car on the road and being extremely capable off it, the Subaru Forester is everything you want from a recreational 4WD.

The Forester's strength lies in its car-like feel and handling, the latter thanks to a low centre of gravity. However, that doesn't mean that it has been robbed of its surprising level of off-road ability. Its lighter weight also assists it in sandy conditions, allowing it to ride over rather than plough through like some of the larger four-wheel-drives."

Toyota Rav4
Peoples Choice Awards
Winner Carsales People's Choice - Compact SUV

Carsales said: "With the new RAV4, Toyota has now recognised that this market makes up the bulk of customers for what are now known as Compact SUVs and finally delivered a car that it believes meets their needs. The new RAV4 is substantially bigger, offers more versatility in seating arrangements and has an electronically-controlled part-time four-wheel drive system that spends most of its time driving the front wheels."
