Indeed, motability told me that in order for Subaru to offer the Forester there needs to be a spec of it that sits below the value threshold, and as they are pretty well spec’d with now only one engine and one cvt box, well there just isn’t one below the threshold
I had a dialogue with Subaru’s MD, citing other manufacturer’s examples that don’t seem to synch with this criteria either but yhey seem to be able to get the cars on nonetheless. He agreed it was something of a headscratcher how they get their vehicles on.
