I think the Subaru 2004 Forester Turbo is a fantastic car. Extremely easy and fun to drive. This particular car had all the premium features. Leather and heated seats, moon/sun roof and 6 CD am/fm radio. The only requirement is that you use premium gas in this performance engine Turbo model.Dec 04, 2021

Acceleration from 0-100kph was about 6.7 seconds maybe faster. Note that this was the JDM model so it was actually faster than the import model. Braking was pretty good and handling was sweet (AWD). Extremely low maintenance, highly durable but maybe having to always buy octane boost and stuff for the turbo would add up. The Forester isn't really known for it's looks. The exterior was okay but definitely not good while the interior was pretty normal except for the momo steering and shifter as well as the bucket seats with a mix of leather and cloth upholstery which added a sportier feel to the Forester. By far the most fun car I have ever driven although, I haven't driven much cars that were built for speed but hey the 03' Subaru Forester XT JDM model is truly a sweet ride.Nov 01, 2010

Handling fantastic. Most fun I've had in car... that's for the last four years. I enjoy driving to work in the mornings & back in the evening. Reliability is legendary. Subaru only use genuine parts, so make sure you have a maintenance plan. It's also less attractive to thieves.Sep 14, 2009
