What owners say
"Owners generally love the 2005 Subaru Forester for its reliability, comfortable driving experience, and practicality. Many appreciate its performance and the feeling of security it provides on the road. However, some drivers noted challenges with parts availability due to the vehicle's age and mentioned the handling could feel primitive at times. A few also expressed a desire for more power and better braking performance."
This car's been great. Hope to get a good 10 years out of it at least. It's been everything we wanted. Good amount of space for the dog, and now for the kid. Fantastic for snowy Minnesota (and Michigan) winters.
February 29, 2008This is one of my favourite cars, awesome performance, reliability, and can do some offroading...
January 16, 2008It's a fantastic car to drive. With all the usual Subaru features. I've made a few modifications to it and it flies and is also a dream to drive. It's the best car I've ever owned and I have no plans of getting rid of it.

February 19, 2008Performance : nice acceleration , comfort, perfect stability, strong turbo characteristic Cost of owner ship : little bit high fuel consumption but stil reasonable., good durability for parts Fun factor : very nice looking windows without frame , Appereance : very macho looking with inter cooler scope for engine hood
December 15, 2009Really great all-around car for getting to and from the mountains in Colorado. Subaru build quailty, AWD, turbo, and plenty of room. Basically a de-tuned, tall 2004 WRX STi, without all the glamor. Change the exhaust system, intercooler, turbo, and add an access port, change the suspension, and you have a WRX STi!
September 2, 2008This car has done many miles over all types of terrain. Tough, reliable and fuss free.
May 25, 2008A lot of fun on a curvy slippery road, but leather, panoramic roof, and navigation doesn't make up for the fact that it feels quite primitive.
March 6, 2008Drives well, comfortable, reliable well built. Love the practicality
