Review
After driving several co
by Hyundai, Kia, Saturn,and Ford and
finding something missing in each I
drove and then purchased the Forester.
Standard full time AWD not an add on
option was the first selling point. A
6way power seat for my messed up back
was the second. Wasnt available last
year. The points that made
the sale were the handling and power
available due to the low center of
gravity and Turbo Four. Every other SUV
I drove handled like a tub of lard on a
hot stove. The Subee sticks and is
truly a SPORTS utility vehicle. First
distance drive on a 97 degree day with
AC on and facing a 15 mph headwind
returned 23 mpg at 70 mph. I'm
impressed

I've owned sports cars, TR-4, TR-6,
Mustangs, and SUV's: Jeep Cherokee
Laredo, and Ford Explorer Eddie Bower.
The Forester XT turbo is the "real
thing" for fun and performance, on road
or off. It's great on gas, terrific
handling, and solid build quality. I
traded my 1999 Forester in on the XT.
Which was a major reason for buying
another Forester, because the '99 was
trouble free after 5 years of
ownership, AND no squeaks or rattles
either. It was PERFECT!

Car handles like a champ. Quiet and
roomy enough to travel with a college
student. Decent power and fuel economy

the Subaru Forester is a quality built
and safe all-wheel drive alternative
to many SUV's without this level of
safety. the Forester has not Roll-over
warning like most of the SUV's on the
market. That little "roll-over"
warning posted on the driver's side
sun visor in most SUV's is a Death
sentance" in an accident.
You don't have to worry about that in
the Foester.

The Forest XT provides excellence in
almost every category w/o much
sacrifice. The turbo
provides excellent acc + other recent
improvements produces enough power at
2200rpm's to climb a 5% grade in 5th
gear w/o engine "lug-down,"
resulting in better gas mileage. So
far, my combind
highway/city gas milage has been
27.4mpg - highway almost 29. The XT /w
premium adds luxury to a
practical car. The "competition"
(Rav4/CRV/Liberty) does
not offer comparable features,
performance, or handling: more
comparable to an
X3/Touareg/Freelander. More car for
the $$.

Peppy little thing. Great
excelleration and fun to drive. Glad
they added more colours for 2005 and
changed the color of the interior. I
feel I got great value for my money
and paid $60 under invoice. Everyone
I talk to, who has owned a Subaru,
raves about the minimal maintenance.

I thought that Subaru made good cars
until I bought one! I have had nothing
but problems with my Forester and even
more problems with the company(Subaru)
In my opinion I would buy a Honda or
Toyota
