I traded my crew cab chevy 3500 for this and I am happy with the space. I like simple and it looks great while being simple. The forester doesn't brandish fake scoops or anything to augment its looks and thats how I like it. Looks are great, much preferred over the past models Subaru has put out, but then again that's a matter of opinion. This car is Florida season approved, if there was such a thing. If you want to test a cars brakes, come to Florida during season. The braking is also very responsive and I have already had experiences with people cutting me off and it just digs in to the ground but doesn't take away your control. It has less body roll than many sports cars I have driven, coupled with the symmetrical AWD, its fun on the twisties, for an SUV that is. You don't have to fight this car, it is under your command and will do your bidding. At first I was a little turned off by the lack of steering feedback but the comfort it provides when driving down bad roads is a blessing. Compared to something like the RAV4 this is true AWD and behaves as such.Īs stated above the handling is great, you point the steering wheel and there it goes. Im newish to AWD and the level of command this car has on less-that-desirable road conditions is outstanding. This car likes to grip the road and not let go. I have not done much off-road driving but what little I have done, I can hardly tell the difference between tarmac and gravel.
DIE HARD BATTERY NUMBER 2004 ACURA RL MANUAL
Die hard, traditionalist, Manual trans folks, it ok to trust the CVT its nothing like the laggy ATX's of the past. I'm blown away by the performance of this thing. I'm also a manual transmission kind of guy and I went with the CVT because of my Girlfriend and the economy. I believe Having power is just as important as good breaks and handling to get out of dangerous situations and the forester has it all. I've never liked a car that cant react quickly to the throttle, and the throttle response is great. Its not the turbo version by any means but definitely gets out of its own way and, not that I recommend it but, it has enough power and torque for spirited driving, off-roading, and hills. I was afraid that the 170hp 2.5 Boxer would not be enough for an suv but I have never been more wrong. That's to be expected from Subaru though. No weird chattering or shaking, no cheap plastics, no seemingly loose parts, and according to my research on engine and trans, they are bullet proof (figuratively speaking). The car looks well built and symmetrical. All of these have been met and surpassed. When I set out to find a new vehicle, I looked for, reliability, power, all terrain capabilities, handling, decent looks, space, economy, and comfort. This a car for someone who wants some of the luxuries of what is expected in modern cars but not really super fancy. If you want a car that will change and powder you, this isn't it. I believe this car is for the person who is focused on having a reliable, functional, simple yet user friendly, safe SUV.
