Being that we knew nothing about Subaru 2 months before we bought our Forrester, my wife and I are incredibly pleased. It's a wonderful SUV that makes us feel safe, provides excellent fuel economy (relatively speaking), and is a hoot to drive. We've taken it from San Diego to the Rockies and bag, and the V4 didn't miss a beat.

Bought 2003 for my wife in Dec. She loves. Great in our icy,snowy climate. Wish gas mileage was better considering a 4 cyl. Needs better cup holders. Nice ride and handles great. This is out 1st Suby, will let you know more later as it only has 1300 miles at this point.

Noise on highway, expensive maintenance, hard to fit car seats, good handling, good gas mileage. I was not happy with it, that I had to replace it with a Honda Odyssey.
