2005 Subaru Forester X review from North America
"I am satisfied with it, I would recommend this vehicle."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There are a few things that could be improved,
It needs bigger storage compartments, the glove box is nice and large, but the other compartments are too small to be very useful.
Too much plastic in the interior.
It needs an armrest on the driver’s seat.
It would be nice if the dome light stayed on longer after closing the door.
General comments?
I have had the vehicle about a month now, bought it used from a dealer, so far no problems with it. It has plenty of power for a 4-cylinder engine, controls are well laid out, seats are comfortable, good legroom. Fairly quiet on a rough road, about what you would expect from a small vehicle. Overall I am satisfied with it.
