Used 2004 Subaru Forester Consumer Reviews
WOULD BUY ANOTHER SUBARU FORESTER W/O ?
EXTREMELY SATISFIED---------HAS MET ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS AND THEN SOME-----
Very Happy
I got a 2004 XT after desiring a small sports car yet wanting to hold on to something I could grow into were I to start a family. I was torn between the VW GTI and the 03 XS and then I drove the XT. It is a new feeling being in a car and knowing I can go 0- 60 faster that the 350z, the S200, the Porsche Boxter, and most Ferraris yet still have a lot of safety features, interior space, and know that my car will likely spen a lot less time in the shop then the other. The leather is extremely comfortable, the AC very effective and the handling compliant. I got it for less than 2% over invoice with some excellent financing.
My fun Subaru
I never thought I'd own an SUV.....I just never liked them. I was more of a sports car fan.....I owned a GT Mustang and then a Camaro SS. But then my husband (who owned a Subaru WRX) talked me into the forester and now I love it. It doesn't have the power and performance of the SS, but its right up there and its fun to drive. And of course with the all wheel drive I know I won't have any problems with the snow and ice this winter. I also like the feeling of sitting up higher. Overall, I have to admit it took me by surprise and I really love it now :o)
My Forester Analysis
Excellent car! Only thing I don't like are picky things - the cup holders are too far back between the two front seats & the cruise control on switch is not on the steering column where I wish it was located.
xt premium does what it suppose to do...
excellent awd sedan/wagon type driving with great crash test scores. no one competes in this price/performance with easy entry ( no stepping up ) and awd. fun to drive wagon but be prepared for horrible gas mileage for its size. sun roof is HUGE, kids in 2nd row really enjoy it.
