Car has transmission issues, making a clunking doing when shifting. Dealer tried to explain it away as the exhaust being pressed up against the bottom of the car as a result of the crash it was involved in.Jul 04, 2024

I love my 2010 Subaru Forester! It’s the perfect size to accommodate adventures without being bulky or hard to maneuver. I used ittoday to transport a twin mattress and I never could have done that in my old car. My daughter is safe in the back seat and I can easily make adjustments inside to keep us comfortable. Highly recommend!Jun 27, 2024
