2004 Subaru Forester | Birmingham, West Midlands

A 2004 Subaru Forester, the Impreza-based crossover that began as a raised estate with all-wheel drive. It is liked for its low-mounted boxer engine, roomy cabin and a practical, wagon-derived shape that copes well away from smooth tarmac. This car is finished in silver with a grey interior, a calm, neutral pairing that keeps attention on the location and the people in shot. Its 2.0-litre engine suits the Forester's easygoing character, and the raised seating gives a clear view out. The load area has room for kit, bags or styling rails. Location transport and outdoor events suit it, thanks to the high seating, all-wheel drive and cargo space. Photography and screen work wanting an early-2000s crossover get a wagon-derived profile and understated paint that sits easily in a frame. Weddings and personal hires are open to it too. The car is based in Birmingham, West Midlands.
