Bottomline Much less of a cute-ute than it used to be, the 2008 Jeep Liberty defines SUV-lites by not being one. It’s significantly improved this year, but the 2009 Subaru Forester remains a unique all-wheel-drive crossover with less power and fewer features, but better carlike handling, than its competition.
