Pros: More stylish, roomier, quieter, smoother
Cons: Less distinctive, and less fun to drive than before
The Bottom Line: Roomier and more stylish before. But also much less distinctive. A good choice for anyone seeking a compact SUV, but little to excite.
I first drove the Subaru Forester five years ago, and discovered a vehicle like no other. The exterior was compact, and so was the rear seat. But the seating position was moderately high, and the roof even higher, for excellent headroom and visibility. ...

Pros: Fuel Economy, price, 8" clearance, tons head /legroom, powerful, agile and fun! Great stereo too.
Cons: Interior is a bit heavy on the plastic.
The Bottom Line: This vehicle does everything it was designed to do, and superbly, besting most if not all in-class vehicles.
*Firstly, since I saw that there are no other reviews, I wanted to get a review in ASAP. This is such a great car, it has turned me into a Forester evangelist! However, I can be critical where I think improvements can be made. I will ...

Pros: Big, comfortable interior, good ride, reasonable mileage w/4WD.
Cons: 4 cylinder is inadequate for regular highway use.
The Bottom Line: Good in-town car, not a highway cruiser.
This is a review based on a weekend (and about 300 miles) of combined city and highway driving of a base-model Forester with the 4 cylinder engine.The first thing that surprises you about the Forester is how big it actually is inside. This ...

So-So 2009 Subaru Forester
by sungron22
Nov 23 '09
Author's Product Rating: 
Recommended: No 
Pros: Attractive exterior
OK mileage
Easy to drive
Great safety features
Cons: Not much space for an SUV
Tacky interior
This is certainly not a car for those who want luxury. It serves us well in town and OK on the highway. Maybe I got spoiled driving a Toyota for 15 years, and this is sure no Toyota. It's easy to drive and gets OK gas mileage, but I question the quality. I took it in twice when it was brand new to fix a faulty Bluetooth and a rattle in the dash. The service manager told me that dash rattles would be an issue "until they fix the cheesy way the clock is mounted". Not much of a vote of confidence. The interior has entirely too much cheap, easily scratched plastic. Now there is a catalytic converter recall out. All in all, it's an OK car, but I'm glad it is paid off so I can trade in a year or so.
