2005 Subaru ForesterX: Great engine/handling/safety/fun

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you like to have fun driving while still having the 'just in case' security, buy this vehicle. It is a sporty SUV.
Review: The following comments apply to the Subaru Forester 2.5X, 5sp manual:

1. Ride. Very good, firm (as in sporty), and well controlled under all conditions. No overstuffed seats or mushy suspension here. Very comfortable for both driver and...

The Forester remains a gem!!!!!!

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you need transportation, want AWD and want to stay away from huge SUVs. The safe Forester is the way to go.
Review: I just bought my second Forester, a 2005 X (the base model). It replaced a 2001 Forester L (the base model in 2001).

My 2001 had 58,500 miles on it and was in perfect shape!

However, Subaru had two programs running that enticed...
