2004 Subaru Forester Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Considering it was an AWD car, I expected something worse than our Protege5, but it was not far off. see full Subaru Forester review
2004 Subaru Forester Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Fuel economy is hit or miss. I've seen anywhere from 14-20 in the city with no discernable difference in driving habits. On the highway I've seen anywhere from 19-26. Once again, with no discernable difference in driving style, speed, or weather. There is just no predictability. see full Subaru Forester review
2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 2.5L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Takes a lot of fuel and also require Super. Youve got to pay to play. see full Subaru Forester review
2003 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 21mpg is about all you can expect. AWD is partially to blame, as is the relatively inefficient boxer engine. see full Subaru Forester review
