2004 Subaru Forester XT review from North America
"Ugly rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this pocket rocket.
Driver's seat seem to be off center with the steering wheel.
General comments?
Rear end is shapely, but the front end looks like a toad.
Goes like stink, and that is before the turbo kicks in. Then, hang on. Launch speeds.
Beaucoup de headroom (I'm over 6 ft).
Traction in wet and snow is fantastic.
