What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2008 Subaru Forester

2008 Subaru Forester Available Features: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Almost everything that I need is included in the Limited package (leather, cold climate package, roof rails, etc) see full Subaru Forester review
2009 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
The 2.5X Premium, All-weather had all of the options that I wanted without having to buy the mega-super options package. see full Subaru Forester review
2008 Subaru Forester Available Features: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
No bluetooth or intellikey available. Not deal breaker, but compared to some others in the class it seems lacking. see full Subaru Forester review
2008 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
They do not offer more legroom in the back seat. Front passenger seat is ok, but not if you have someone in the back. We got the sport package w/the sunroof, and I love it. Could use better placement of aux port and 12V plug in the armrest console. see full Subaru Forester review
