Take Your Family on a Rally Race!

Are speed bumps the only exciting thing on your commute?

Seat belts on? Check.

Gas tank full? Check.

Safety helmets on? Say what?

Dirt and mud roads? Where are we going?

Subaru wants to take five Canadian families to Mont-Tremblant, QC, to compete in a family-friendly, action-packed rally race! The goal of the rally is to challenge the families to maneuver the course quickly and accurately using the Forester’s one-of-a-kind features. Winner takes home an all-new 2014 Subaru Forester. 

I’ve never been in a rally race but this would be so fun! Ok I’ll be honest — I have at some point been in the middle of traffic and thought — if only I could just cut through that foresty patch over there… Now I could do that type of driving legitimately! I would love to go at it up the hill, round the bend, through the mud. And the best part — I don’t have to wash the car in the end. 

Subaru has long been known for their symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive vehicles, and the new 2014 Forester is putting the ‘sport’ back in SUV. The Family Rally is set to prove “… how everyday drivers can tackle a variety of terrain with confidence,” says Geoff Craig, director of marketing at Subaru Canada. You can even watch each family's rally run (and monitor their heart rates!) through the Forester Family Hub. 

X-MODE is a new feature on the Forester — with the push of a button, the X-Mode allows the vehicle’s “…engine, transmission, AWD, brakes, and other components safely navigate through bad roads, slippery surfaces and even the steepest hills for maximum confidence.” Hill Decent Control works with X-Mode to maintain a constant speed when the Forester is going downhill. That way, you can focus on steering safely while the Forester manages the braking for you.

Contest closes June 9, 2013 — enter your family at www.familyrally.ca. Guaranteed your family will remember this one-of-a-kind experience!
