2005 Subaru Forester 2.0 X review from Romania
"Best value for money option for a young outdoor loving family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong with the car.
The service is professional and prompt.
Suggested improvement: separate interior light for front seats (to go on when opening the doors), preferably in the lower part of the cabin.
General comments?
The car runs smooth both on road and in difficult conditions (mud, snow, sand).
Roomy and comfortable (the so-blamed hand rest is very useful for long trips, especially with the cruise control).
Fuel consumption is reasonable for this type of car & engine (10-11L urban, 7.5-9 @ 120km/h with passengers and luggage).
The steering is incredibly easy.
The Air Conditioning cuts off automatically when the engine needs all the power - very useful feature.
