Why the 2005 Subaru Forester?

Handling

It responds quickly and securely, with no feeling of loss of control. It handles well in all weather and all storms and it has the spunk to be able to maneuvre through tight fast urban traffic as well.

Safety & braking

It does not skid out of control ever. It brakes quickly if needed.

Reliability & durability

It has never failed to start, in all weather and it has always stuck to the road.

Front seat support & comfort

There is leg room. The seat is adjustable enough.

Why Not the 2005 Subaru Forester?

Materials & workmanship

We needed to replace the struts just before the warranty expired. We also needed to replace the ball joints, the bearings quite a bit. There was an issue with leak in the motor but that was under warranty and it was fixed.
