Why the 2004 Subaru Forester?

Handling

Amazing handling, this car feels like it's bolted to the road at all times.

Reliability & durability

Bought it with 174k, runs like a new one. My mechanic said it will run to 300k without any issues. Just change the oil & timing belt (every 100k).

Driving position & visibility

One great feature is this car really doesn't have a blind spot, very easy to see all around while driving.

Brand reputation & image

I have numerous friends with Subarus, all of them have had amazing great reliability with few, if any problems.

Why Not the 2004 Subaru Forester?

Powertrain performance

I can see where having a turbo version would be a bit more fun to drive.

Quietness

Some wind noise at high speeds on the interstate.
