Q: I will be living and working in Switzerland. The 150 bhp 2.0 feels a bit under powered on mountain highways, however, the 230 bhp seems like overkill. Any thoughts?
A: The 2.0 liter engine may move the Impreza smartly, but the Forester is saddled with almost 300 pounds of additional weight. I think the bigger engine will be a better fit over the long haul.
