  • 2015 Subaru Forester tS

    Subaru’s Forester has received a new STI-enhanced variant, but like the STI-enhanced BRZ the new hot Forester is being offered exclusively in Japan. We’re not talking a fully-fledged STI model like the Impreza WRX STI, but rather a run-of-the-mill Subaru that's been upgraded with some off-the-shelf STI parts. Subaru likes to call them tuned by STI vehicles, or tS for short.
