2006 Subaru Forester 2.5 X 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
Pros: Handling and traction in rain & snow. Cons: Noisy fuel pump. Drives and handles well. AWD provides great handling in the rain and snow. Ride is a little too hard over rough roads and RR tracks. Seats are firm and comfortable. Front seat space is adequate if you're not overweight, height no problem at 6'3". Rear seat leg space is inadequate. Console and controls are placed well and easy to adjust while driving.
Handling and traction in rain & snow.
Since purchase, annoying high-pitched noise coming from rear of vehicle-- most likely the fuel pump. Manual radio scanning preceded by a loud beep during every activation. Electronic stability control not available on this model year. Tires wear quickly and provide poor traction.No AUX jack for iPod.
