2004 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons A member in Wisconsin, United States For a 4-cylinder motor, it has decent low-end torque. The turbo performance is eye-opening for this type of vehicle. |
|
2008 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member1446 Its performance feels responsive and zippy - it has lots of get-up and go for a 4-cylinder. |

|
2003 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons SPG900NY 165hp non-turbo engine combined with the automatic transmission is very slow, and feels very sluggish. The automatic often hunts for gears, and when punching the throttle to get kickdown, transmission is slow to shift. Was the same when new. |
|
2004 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member714 Good performance at reasonable cost. AWD very useful in current climate |
|
2007 Subaru Forester Pros and Cons Member104 It has VERY strong acceleration in 2nd thru 4th gears (20-70mph). First gear runs out of rpm quickly. I can easily outrun many "sporty" cars and then pull off-road and not get stuck in mud or snow. |
