2005 Subaru Forester Turbo review from North America
"Great for power and class all in one, gets down in the mud, and gets classy when you need it too!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Subaru Forester: I mostly like the Forester and are extremely happy we got it, but there are a few small little things that would be wonderful if they were changed. Such as, the drivers seat has automatic moving chair, and it would be nice to see it on the passengers. The husband also has difficulties with the position of the rear view mirror, it seems to be a bit in the way, kind of right in the middle and blocks the view. Also, I find that the finish around the stereo and the heat etc dial scratch extremely easy, as well as around the outside handles. And it def. helps if you condition the leather, that is important.
General comments?
Glad I bought it, I want to upgrade to the Tribeca when we have some kids, love subaru. It is def powerful, the automatic made our necks hurt, lol. We have the manual, and you go fast when you want and go slow, it follows your mood, and I love it!
