Purchased near the end of 2007, w 20k milage. The best decision ever! Having had luxury autos in the past, I quickly realized this rather simple car was perfect for my travel and retirement needs. Gosh.. I have had this car 17 years, and nary a problem! It has aged better than ~ well, you can fill in the blank! I don't have the "X" version, but my white Subaru looks like the picture above, without the black addition on the hood. Thank you Subaru for my car.

Have $3k ready to replace head gaskets

This could be such a great car, but this is one model affected by the flawed head gaskets design/composition. I had to shell out $3k at around the 70000 miles mark to replace them. I complained mightily to Subaru of America and they gave me $1500 for the trouble. Still. I've known two others with one of these late 00's early teens 2.5L (non turbo) Subarus who've had the EXACT same problem. If it's that pervasive Subaru ought to be sued.

2007 Subaru Forester Sports 2.5 XT 4dr Wagon AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

A sports car in disguise, a classic sleeper. Performance is similar to the WRX, and it doubles as a midsized family SUV and ski/soccer/beach hauling vehicle. Mom or Dad can drive their fun car, have decent gas mileage, and cart around all the family stuff in any weather or road conditions. It's a budget, sport, family SUV. So, for all it's plusses expect some cheapness, avg mileage, and the style and fit of a crossover off-road/family wagon. Still, above avg value, fun and practicality for the money, with good safety. Needs padded side columns, side curtain airbags, design that prevents water/snow drips on floor and seats, and a decent paint job to be a true 10.
Forester after One Year

I have had my Forester for more than one year now. This is my first AT after 40 years on the road. It has been very dependable and is fun to drive. I have an aging mother who needs a walker, and the Forester accommodates it easily. Also, it is easier for her to enter than my previous car. I have had to drive in some severe weather, and the AT has proved easier to handle than I expected.

My first Subie - love it. Every morning I can't wait to get behind the wheel and slam the RPMs near red line. By the way mine is non-turbo. Took it off-roading today in the Marine Headlands and handled perfect in mud, wet grass, gravel, and pouring rain. I'm planning on putting winter Blizzacks for winter driving to Tahoe to fully appreciate the AWD. Added a bra, cargo box liner, Weathertech floor mats (a MUST), synthetic oil after 1K. This will not be my last Subie. Bring the Forester STI to the States!!
