I love this car. It's my first Subaru and I can't say enough good things about it. It is so comfortable to sit in and drives so nicely. I love the heated seats and and automatic temp. control. The sun roof is awesome, HUGE.The back is big enough for several hockey bags. I just love driving it. I would highly recommend this car.

This is a great little car for people who think that driving is as exciting as homework. It is not that expensive, reliability on major parts are good, can take a beating reasonably well. It is a completely forgettable car that takes you from point A to point B with no complaints.

This is a great all around car. We took it off-road last week and it has great clearance and stability. Follows in the great tradition of Subaru.
Fun Forester

This is a "fun" vehicle to drive. Handling is great! We changed from an Outback Limited 5-speed with all the goodies to get the additional room inside a Forester. Love Subaru's reliability and handling, and this was a good move for us to get additional interior space. The added plus was the turbo and the braking system. The Forester doesn't know it's a little car!
great car

Have had my subaru for two months--also have a subaru Legacy . I love my forester , like the way it handles and rides.Ride little more choppy then Outback but more fun to drive and easy to get in and out of traffic--get about 26mph in mixed driving. I live off road and great winter car---

We have had zero problems with this vehicle. Has a lot of punch and great to drive. Fair gas mileage. Passenger seat too hard for me.
Awesome To Drive and Own

After 5000 miles and 4 months of highway, city and off road driving not a single problem. Haven't been back to the dealer except to buy accessories! I do a lot of mountain road driving and even with a roof top cargo carrier and camping gear inside it handles great. The safety ratings on this vehicle are excellent also.

My 2004 Forester is a replacement for a 2003 which was totaled in a terrible accident. I truely believe that had I been in another SUV I would have been killed. The vehicle was on two wheels and should have flipped over into a deep ditch. Due to the higher placement of the engine and AWD it hugged the road and was able to right itself, returning all wheels to the road. I swerved into a large tree which again, if not for the great bumper system I would have beem killed. I walked away with a burn on my elbow from pushing up against the door. I know that the 2004 will perform as well, if not better. And I love the new features.

This is a great vehicle. I traded in my 2002 A4 for this car. I wanted a fun AWD small SUV/wagon. I was hesitant on the eterior styling at first...Once I drove the XT, I was hooked. The turbo 2.5 liter motor is addicting. The 5 speed manual is a little sportier, but this was the compromise between my wife and I. Plus the sunroof in the Premium is to die for. You can't go wrong with this vehicle
