This was my first Subie to date and so far its not bad. Front seats could of been of better quality and comfort. The stereo to be honest is very sub-par. Favorite feature is the bullet proof AWD, and probably the main reason I choose the Forester. Rattles in both the driver and passenger side doors. Turns out to be a loose piece called a baffle that can be corrected. Overall the car is better than most.

Just got my 2010 Forester 2.5x Premium and I can say I don't hear any rattles. For the price I think that this is a great car. Yes, I agree about the plastic on the dash but it is simple and clean. At 6'4" I find the drivers sit very comfortable and plenty of room in the back seat. I like at the sport grill but I like the grill that it came with better so no need to spend money replacing it.

So I am a repeat customer of Subaru Forester's. I am still driving the Subi I am rating. It's slow off the line. It loves to go through the snow. I've put it through over 100 thousand miles. It's been in 2 accidents. I bought it with a trade in of my 2001 Forester. I should have kept the 2001 Forester. Both had issues with head gaskets and burning oil. I think that this is a crucial failure in both of these. That being said, the ride of these cars, their storage space, and their overall performance are a perfect fit for me. I am a Subaru customer for life. I know that they will need excessive maintenance overall. I am better informed on the vehicles needs having spent over 10k in repairs. They need some tlc. The winter tire I'm most impressed with on both Forester's is the Bridgestone Blizzak. Worth the extra cost and get them siped. I think that they should be handled with a soft foot given the issues with head gaskets. They do well overall in my state of Utah and they crush the snow. I am excited to get my 3rd Forester with the appropriate updates. I drove one when Nate Wade replaced my head gasket at a premium cost of 2600. I can accept high upkeep costs as long as I am expecting any of the major issues at all times.

I'm 6'5" and fit rather nicely with the seat lowered fully. Pre-2009 models were not as roomy. I actually fit in the back seat fairly well. More comfortable than my 07 Accord. Visibility is great. Averaging 22 mpg the first week. The interior is very functional. The AC is definitely NOT weak. I drive in a rather hilly region and the Forester handles the roads with ease. Turbo would have been real overkill (as well as a higher insurance premium).

For a 2010 model SUV, this vehicle is lacking some basic features other vehicles in its class have. Comfortable driving position is one. The driver position is awkward with all the plastic parts sticking out reaking havoc on leg pain. Blue-tooth, the horrible sound system even with the circle sound on and the lack of auto on headlights. I enjoy the quality the subaru brand projects and thus far reliability is number 1. I have yet to get over 23 MPG even driving highway everyday. If your wanting to buy this vehicle its offroad ability is great, but the luxury interior is just not there! I don't have any rattling but considering the forester is mostly plastics I know its coming.
