2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XReview
Love The Car! Amazing Ride And Amazing Space! — I love everything about this car. It has amazing space and is very comfortable on long trips too. The cargo space is amazing compared to most other vehicles. Handles very well in all weather and great because it is all wheel drive. Love the look of the Forester SUV, Gas mileage is average. Gets true mpg rating. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Everything amazing! Cons: No cons! |

Very Safe, Reliable Family Car — I can't think of a more perfect car for a family, particularly if you enjoy outdoor activities (camping, kayaking, skiing) and/or travel with pets - the cargo space is fantastic and the four-wheel drive gets you safely to your destination in any weather. The cons are primarily associated with any heavy, all-wheel drive vehicle: fuel economy isn't the best and maintenance costs tend to be higher than the standard sedan. But it can't be beat for function and safety and is a pleasure to drive. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Extremely safe, very solid, great cargo capacity, handles very well and is reliable. Cons: Fuel economy (as compared to smaller, non-4-wheel drive cars), driver's seat lacks lumbar support for long drives, engine can get noisy on the highway, stereo is okay, but not great. |

Economical Awd And Cargo Capacity. — I bought this car brand new in July 2009. I have not had any trouble at all. It gets 25 plus MPG all around driving. It has fulfilled all the requirements I bought it for. It's more car than SUV, but makes that up at the gas pump. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Fuel economy. Cargo capacity. Reliability. AWD. Cons: Lack of power. |

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 X L.L. Bean EditionReview
It's A Wonderful Ride. — This car can go fast and I feel incredibly safe at 80 mph with no shimmy or shake. Getting out of tight spots is a snap the way it jumps on a dime and the handling is tight - so much fun to drive and comfy as a driver or a passenger. The puddle lights are a great addition when you're going someplace fancy. A great get away car with the dog or family - good camping vehicle, Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: A reliable, practical, well built car and I had no idea how comfortable it would be to drive. There were so many times I missed my exit because I was just enjoying the ride. Cons: Stop and go city driving will give you low gas mileage - like 17 - 20. |

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT LimitedReview
So Close To Being A Great Ride — In the daytime on short trips its a perfect ride, good visibility, good looks, good power, good handling and a value at it's price. At night, when driving home from a weekend out of town or just a long day at work, the road noise and rediculous blue "look at me" dash lighting was too much and that's too bad for a SUV with so much potential. If you are someone who drives in the daytime, on short trips and often in bad weather, this Forester may be the perfect vehicle for you. If on the other hand you use this at night on dark highways or on long trips, the combo of noise and retinal burning blue lights may have you look elsewhere. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Good looking small SUV that has good power and tight handling that is well behaved in bad weather. The XT Limited has comfortable seating for multi-hour trips. Unlike some other SUVs where the sunroof lowers headroom, there was plenty of clearance for someone up to 6'-2". Also the interior is roomier than appearance and the leather seats add a touch of sophistication to the interiors look...
Cons:
#1 Con (for me) Interior lighting: glaring blue at night even when dimmed. Why do car manufacturers insists on making interior lighting that looks like its fit for a night club? |

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XTReview
Great For The Money! — The gear ratio on the manual transmission is lacking in the 5th gear, going up the mountain, i am constantly shifting between 4th and 5th. Gas mileage is awesome. I have had the rear reclining seat button pop out more than a dozen times, and the puddle lights are temperamental in regards to when they want to work. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Great handling. Cons: Stereo only goes up to 40. Hard to listen to my ipod at full blast. the head rests are not "pony tail" friendly |

2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT LimitedReview
Good — i liked the size, the space in the back, the turbo perfomance. i did not like the noise inside the car, louder than normal, the tire replacement issues adn the warranty is short except of course the powertrain is long enough Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: great handling in snow and rain! Decent mileage, large sunroof, turbo is really helpful living at 7200 feet Cons: all tires have to be replace if only one is damaged. |

Love It, Would Buy Another — This car can plow through anything. From snow to mud to a stormy day. With AWD and and automatic with Sport-shift it makes this car a gem in the snow with the hill/mtns I have to encounter I love it! Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Safe,AWD, airbags everywhere Cons: Foot heater needs improvement |
