check engine light and flashing cruise control
my check engine light comes on solid and cruise control light flashes. This begins within 25 miles after filling tank. Oil is full. What is the cause and how do I fix it?

2008 Subaru Forester Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
It may be boxy, but the Forester's shape makes perfect sense.
The Forester was slightly updated a couple of model years ago with a facelift and a new rear end, but a meaningful generational change is due out the following year. For now, we get the same boxy-but-beautiful shape we’ve come to love over the years.
As Subaru’s small crossover, the Impreza-based Forester competes in a crowded segment that includes the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, but it’s the AWD Subaru that comes out feeling like the true athlete of the group.
That sporty sensation comes with somewhat unrefined road manners, but the Forester has enough stability where it counts to be comfortable in most circumstances. Where the Subaru comes up a little short against its competition is in fuel economy, where it lands much closer to the SUV side of the spectrum than it does to the car side. That said, new car buyers wanting a more rugged experience will be happy, and won't have to give up everything to get it.
6/10
If you are seeking an exciting and beautiful vehicle, look elsewhere. But if you want a form-over-function shape with the absolute maximum usable space, the Forester has you covered. The 2006 update brought a more upscale look to the model, with more chrome, plus body-colored panels, but there’s no getting around the box factor. With slightly flared fenders and a boxy profile, the Subaru has a decidedly more muscular stance than its competition, and the XT trim looks downright aggressive with its hood scoop and rear spoiler.
The Forester’s interior takes much of the same approach to styling, in that there’s plenty of substance but not much style. The dash is clean and uninterrupted by large buttons or displays. The simple three-spoke steering wheel can be had with audio controls in some trims, but even still the overall aesthetic is one of pure utility.
7/10
You can have your Forester any way you want it, as long as that way includes all-wheel drive. Beyond that, there are two engine and transmission choices: A 2.5-liter flat-four producing 173 horsepower and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 224 horsepower.
A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a four-speed automatic gearbox is optional. The lesser engine does just fine around town, helping the boxy Forester jump into traffic with ease, but it’s on the highway where things start to fall flat. Reaching highway speeds is no problem but passing and accelerating from there can be a mixed back. The flat-four engine lacks the top-end punch that it needs to be a truly competent highway cruiser.
The 224-horsepower engine has a turbocharger that makes its power delivery more dramatic. That gives the Forester an exciting driving dynamic that most of its competition lacks.
Though the Forester rides taller than a normal passenger car, it’s not plagued by the rough rides that many of its SUV brethren suffer. Over some road surfaces, the vehicle can feel unsettled and bumpy, but it never feels out of control. There’s a playful, spunky feeling to the Forester’s performance that larger SUVs can’t match and the fact that there’s a manual transmission on board will make enthusiasts happy.
That somewhat unrefined on-road manner doesn’t translate to all-out off-road performance. Though the Forester’s got the ground clearance to make a serious run through the woods, there’s not enough rigidity and toughness in the suspension and body to make it a hardcore wheeler. That said, the Forester’s got enough ability to take its occupants further than most people will ever want to go in a vehicle. Coupled with a respectable 2,400-pound towing capacity, that capability makes the Forester a great right-sized utility vehicle.
Road and wind noise become a problem at higher speeds, possibly due to the Forester’s large-windowed shape, but almost certainly because there’s a lack of needed sound insulation. Under hard acceleration, both powertrains generate an excessive amount of noise, but the mechanical bits quiet down when cruising.
8/10
The Forester places usability at the top of its list of priorities, so nearly everything about it is designed with that in mind. The front seats are supportive, but lean to the sporty side, so there may be a heavier bolster than many drivers are accustomed to. Controls and buttons are placed well within reach of both front passengers, and the large windows allow for excellent outward visibility in all directions. In higher trims, leather upholstery gives the Forester a luxurious feel and upscale appearance, but the overall aesthetic is still one of maximum utility. Standard features like air conditioning and power functions help keep this Subaru livable.
Back seat passengers will find slightly less leg room than rivals, due to the Forester’s relatively short wheelbase. But the tall roof at least affords more than enough headroom for nearly any adult. Parents will find difficulty installing larger car seats for the same reason, as there will be competition between front passengers’ leg room and the car seat in back.
At least there’s plenty of cargo space to make up for it. With the rear seat up, the Forester offers 31 cubic feet in the cargo area and almost 70 when it’s down.
5/10
The Forester, in its lower trims, has enough equipment to get the job of driving done, but not much more. There’s a CD player, keyless entry, and power windows/door locks, but buyers will have to step up to the 2.5X Sports trim to get a seven-speaker MP3-capable audio system with an auxiliary input jack. SiriusXM satellite radio and a moonroof/sunroof are available for higher trims, but Bluetooth and navigation aren’t offered at any level.
9/10
Subaru has long placed safety at the forefront of its vehicle designs, and the Forester is proof of that commitment. The 2008 model was awarded a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, earning 'Good' marks in all categories from the ratings agency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rated the 2008 Forester five stars in all categories as well.
Standard safety gear includes dual-stage front airbags, side-impact airbags, active head restraints, and anti-lock brakes. Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system also helps the Forester remain on track when the weather gets rough.
7/10
The Forester’s base MSRP of $21,195 is very competitive when the Subaru is stacked up against its closest rivals. Standard all-wheel drive makes it a big value pick in comparison to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4; neither of those have all-wheel drive standard. Adding trim levels and options package took the Forester’s price up to around $29,000 when new, but at the higher levels the Subaru gets lost under more feature-packed offerings from Honda and Toyota.
The downside is the Forester's fuel economy. In its most basic form with a manual gearbox, the Forester is EPA-rated at 20/27/22 mpg city/highway/combined. Stepping up to the automatic transmission only dings highway mileage by 1 mpg. When paired with a manual transmission, the XT models' turbo engine delivers 19/25/21 mpg city/highway/combined, but here the automatic transmission changes the numbers to 18/23/20 mpg city/highway/combined.
The more powerful engine puts the Forester well behind the competition in fuel economy, and Subaru’s recommendation for premium fuel brings to the table yet another cost disadvantage.

AWD is heavy on gas use. Back seat middle can be tight with two booster seats at each side. BOXER should last longer than others. good hauling capacity. meeds less maintenance than many other Japanese cars. A very sturdy car that doesn't cut corners. May be on the pricey side comparedto other Japanese makes.Nov 25, 2011

It is a great car. It may not be the best looking car, but it is reliable. I
have had one maintenance problem, but my Subaru is a repaired salvaged
title. It is pretty noisy in the back/cargo area. It has AWD so handling is
great, and has performed fairly well off road and in weather. It has decent
acceleration and braking. It has gotten pretty good gas milage, better on
the highway. Mine is standard transmission, so very fun to shift and
accelerate. Oct 25, 2011

This car is quite a quick car. 0-100 in 7 Seconds. Brakes very well. Handles ok, needs sports lowered suspension to really set it off. Very fun car to drive. Reasonable price, but I need to get a set of chrome wheels to make it awesome!Sep 02, 2010

2008 Subaru Forester 2.0 X - 5MT dual range (Latin american market). Gets delivered next saturday!!! Can't wait!
Trading in my 2001 Forester, did its job great, no whining - ever! Daily commute, week-end junior soccer and BMX, summer road trips, groceries run, you name it. Incredible versatility!Nov 23, 2009

Love the car all around.. looks amazing. it handles
perfectly on corners not much body roll which is
fantastic for an suv but that is thanks to the boxer
engine that it has. The front hood scoop gives it a very
egressive feel to it what also is attractive. the sun roof
is huge. It goes all the way back to the second rowJul 01, 2009

I love this car! My Forester survived 40,000 in one year and toughed it out through its first Alaskan winter. It has performed flawlessly and has never been stuck in the snow. It gets excellent traction in all types of foul weather and has fairly good gas mileage. Overall, my Forester has been a great car with no problems.Sep 11, 2008

After 3 months and 6 050 kilometers I must say I am impressed with this vehicle. I have never driven an AWD vehicle before and I must say is makes a difference in handling, acceleration, braking....cant wait for the next snow storm. Driving comfort is great, basic radio system is acceptable, instrument panel is nicely layed out. Only negative aspect that bothers me is the fuel consumption.......but the Forester is not a Yaris so I shouldnt complain. Jul 06, 2008

The car is unassuming until you get up close. The STi body kit and rims give it an aggressive look and the WRX engine gives it plenty of pep. The interior is spartan but comfortable, no overload of electronic gadgets (aside from the AUX in port on the dash - which I love). I took it on a 1,000 mile road trip with two dogs and was very happy with how it rode and handled, especially in snowy weather.Jun 14, 2008

Even though I have modified my Forester I would have to say that in stock form that it was still a fun car. The quality of the interior is pretty dang decent and spacious, plus I've already used it to haul quite a few Large items around town, or even further.May 30, 2008

I needed a four door with extra room and thought AWD would be a good idea. The forester has been given so many good ratings it made into out must test drive list. We drove the Honda Element and the Forester Sport X on the same day. The Element has a utility "from follows function appeal". The Element did not drive well. It felt underpowered. It rides and steers kind of like a boat. At 75 miles an hour our test vehicle shimmed and made wife feel seasick! Additionally the pillars on the front and rear windows in combination with the reverse doors cause six major blind spots. The rear seats are difficult to operate, and heavy.
The Forester Sport X has lines that grow on you. With the rims and spoiler(an option on our) and the news grill the feisty little wagon gets approving nods and compliments. My wife drove the Forester and decided she did not want to drive any other cars! Fortunately, my salesman did not here her say this!. I have been driving the Sport X for a week and find I like it a bit more each day. This little wagon/SUV is easy to drive, has good snappy power. I am got 26 MPG on my first tank of gas!Feb 07, 2008

What users have asked
any advice on replacing a 2008 subaru forester head gasket yourself?
I have a 2008 subaru forester with about 170000 miles on it and it is leaking oil and a little bit of coolant. I was wondering if any of you had luck with any brand of head gaskets and whether or not to bring the heads in to a machine shop.
