Economic Factor Wins — manual car has good acceleration even when the horse power is not too big. gas mileage is great. Big sun roof. Great compact SUV with big cargo room. small torque make easy U turns. maintenance is pretty easy 6 years no major breakdowns. Primary Use: Commuting to work

ProsReliable, fuel efficient, good performance ConsNot as well made as a german car, noisy inside at speed, rusts too easily.

Great Awd For Every Situation — Reliable as hell, never needs repairs! Always starts, good fuel economy, good off-road with car-like performance on-road. Would suggest this AWD to anyone looking at a little 4X4. It tows a trailer well, goes though snow incredibly well and can be had with a 5 speed manual, which many others can't. With the 2.5L 4 cylinder, has just enough power to whatever you need with great fuel economy. Best of both worlds! | ||

ProsGas mileage, traction, reliability, ride and handling Conssome cheap materials, not a lot of rear seat space

Subaru Forester — Performance – acceleration, Decent braking, excellent handling, very good, much improved over previous generation Build Quality – Very good, only needed minor repairs, some cheap pieces, some minor squeaks and rattles Appearance – Good looking car, don't love the grey bumpers Cost of Ownership – 25-26mpg, very good mileage from a brick shaped, AWD car. Fun Factor – is this car fun to drive? Yes, it is very fun to drive, and has a good ride which is a hard combination to get right. It's really fun in the snow with snow tires. | ||

Good Car For Your Money ! — Everything ! Love yhe perfomance in handling when trying to avoid an accident once. Big money saver because of good gas mileage and no need for any major repairs. Love driving this car short and long distances! Good safe car. This car based SUV is easier to get in and out of than the large SUV's. Check it out ! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Nice And Luxuryous And Sporty Suv Crossover — Excellent quality, great leather seating with climate control to make it like a luxurious sport utility crossover. Not too good for family. Also not too spacious. Has a pretty high off the ground clearence. Although people think it is a station wagon it is an SUV | ||

They Sell Like Hot-cakes, Even When They Are Used. — Really like the all-wheel drive and the roomy interior. Standard Stereo is pretty sweet, too. Not sure yet about the gas mileage. Doesn't seem to be as good as it is listed in the blue book, but it is fine. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Proshaul stuff Consgoing fast

Good — holds lots of stuff. doesn't break down like american cars. handles decently for a steel box with wheels. way too slow for my tastes. four wheel drive a must have for snowy conditions, also makes empty parking lots in winter much more fun Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) | ||

Subaru Forester — My newest car atm is a subaru which is good cos everyone loves a scooby, and its a 2litre turbo... however i dislike it because its a forester, and its not the best looking vehicle... and its just not the same as an imprezza saloon... And the engine keeps misfiring and the engine managment is messed up as a result and its loosing power... and its silver, it would look better in black or dark blue. | ||

Can Out-accelerate A Porsche Boxster And Carry A Full Drum Kit & P.a. System — it's the rare XT model they made for a couple of years before they realized the gearing was too short... does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 13.8 seconds.... how many sports cars can do that.... plus, with aftermarket rims and tires, it handles just like a rally-car.... |
