ok so i have an 07 subaur forester sports and i loved it for the first 2 years now i hat it with a passion already at 42k miles the ac compressor bearings are going bad on top of that it runs like and gets terrible gas mileage. its the worst ride ive ever had in a small suv. lots of wind nois tire noise and just loud all together. i have to add that ive taken care of this car vary well i change oil in engine every 2.5k miles gearboxes at 30k miles.

and it doesnt get near the gass mileage that it sais it does i get maybe 15 -20 on a cold day shifting at 2300 to 2500 rpm with a 5 speed trans. another thing the thin quarter pannels dent vary easy. the doors and hood stand up prety well against hail i only got like 3 dints in last hail storm but quarter pannels are paper thin. and resale value sucks so prety much dont but this car its a waste i loved it for 2 years now its trash and im stuck with it dont buy this car!

2010 XT limited. …
2010 XT limited. at about 750 miles, i wound it up to 105mph, without breaking the 4000 rpm break in limit! LOTS of torque! Excellent driver visability. Much roomier than it was.
The downs:
1. The Navi system is shameful. it works, but nowhere near as well as a $150 garmin nuvi.
2. Not as fast as the Rav4 V6, it is not meant for racing.
3. Premium fuel requirement and 23 mpg actual @ 75mph with a/c, 10mph added cruise speed drops mpg fast!
Verdict: Excellent sub-luxury small SUV, fast

The 2009/2010 Turbo …
The 2009/2010 Turbo Forester is a 4 speed auto only, with manumatic shifting. (like a motorcycle)
In reality, the gearing feels like a 5 speed with 2nd gear missing. it downshifts well to 2nd, but down to 1st gear is a BIG drop. it is not meant to be a canyon racer but it is a fast vehicle, and will be very fast in the mountains.
It is not a luxury SUV, but it is a very well appointed version of a truly capable AWD vehicle with traction control, with a turbo engine tuned for high torque.+++

Just got a 2010 2.5x, great car, love the moon roof, but why a 4 speed? Manual mode is silly with just 4 gears.

It’s for faster …
It’s for faster acceleration. You’re pretty lucky to get a 2010 Forester, very good gas mileage. I have a 2005 Nissan X-Trail 4×4 and it gets the job done.

I have a 2009 Forester XT. It is a versitile a fast vehicle that can handle any road or weather condition. It is comfortable, although not as luxurious as the BMW I owned before getting this buggy. I am very satisfied with the vehicle and with my dealer.
