Used 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium for Sale near Grants Pass, OR

While not necessarily a charmer from the outside appearances, once you're inside, everything changes. Unexpectedly great legroom, comfortable seating, well appointed accessories for the value and an truly excellent outside view all the way around. Driving was also an unexpected surprise. The Forester drove like a car, was very solid, nimble in handling, and standard acceleration and breaking seemed to be very smooth and capable. I did notice if brisk acceleration was needed, like aggressively entering an onramp, the 2.5L engine tends to flatten out rather soon. Not bad at all for a small SUV, but won't turn heads. I loved the ISight system which worked rather well, slowing us down from 65mph to a full stop behind traffic. It seems like everything was well thought out and accessable. We loved the test drive and bought it that day. Cons were few (see Con's), however, we are a bit concerned regarding info we learned later regarding the reliability and warranty of Subaru products. Prior to buying the Forrester, I had researched much regarding its workmanship, quality, reliability and warranty. I have since discovered a rather large number of fellow owners who are all saying the same things about Subaru's horrid failure rate and poor warranty response. Many are suffering head gasket, wheel bearing, radiator and brake failures, and some are under 60k miles. I will no doubt find out how significant this info is. Would I recommend this to others?..... If the reliability/warranty issue is resolved, then absolutely. If not, then sadly no.
