Last weekend saw torrential downpours around the Klang Valley with flash floods affecting some parts of the city. That created some trouble for many drivers but not this Subaru Forester.

Nevertheless, this seemed like a good showcase to prove the Forester’s might. The Forester is available in Malaysia with 5 variants and prices start from RM 139,788. All variants are powered by a 2.0-litre flat-four (148 PS/196 Nm) and paired to a CVT automatic.
