Continued **** 06 Forester***Once I was running late for work and was driving along a mountain road. I was doing about 55mph when I came over this hill and at the bottom the road had water across it. Didn’t have time to brake so I held on. That car actually lost contact with the road but I gained contact on the other side of the wash out. My heart was in my throat. I actually screamed then began to laugh because the car and I survived. That was WILD!! Waiting for the F-STi

I have a 06 Forester with 175,000miles. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned. I drive the Grape Vine at least 3 or 4 times a year on my way to LA and San Diego. It’s usually loaded down too. I LOVE IT. I’ve owned 3 Hondas, 2 BMW 7&5, 3 GMC/CHEVY trucks, and 1 Tribeca 08 and by far this car is my favorite. I don’t really understand it sometimes. I don’t even want my husband driving it. He’s my mechanic SO I guess he has to sometimes.

Very Nice. What year is she?
I have my parent’s old ’98, and she’s still running in top form.

@loweredtalon: I purchased my forester about 8 months ago. So far this is the best “normal” car I have ever driven. It handles just about anything. I also had a 2004 rav4 but even if it was quite good it was nothing compared to the forester. I was also considering the new 2010 model but I found it to be more like driving a spaceship so I went for the 2005 model instead – I find it a much better car, and since it was used it was quite a bit cheaper as well

@extramural
Sounds to me like your full of shit.
You sure it wasn’t a honda you took out?
Forester has no problems handling anything you through at it. I just bought a 2010…best vehicle I’ve owned yet.
arleeh
i take ma fozzy off road,
been to places real 4wd’s struggle to get to…and takes all my camping and fishin gear with me…
might raise it one day….see why everyone else does it?

Took a demo 2010 Forester for a test drive and the halfwit car salesman directed me straight onto a freeway for 10 kays before doing a u turn and driving the same freeway back to the yard. Yeah really impressed me…NOT! Did nothing for me and will look else where. The only excitement on that test drive was when a gust of wind nearly blew the car off the road as they handle poorly. Next….

How are the gaskets holding up? And the rear wheel bearings?

@AmiableAdder theres always the wrangler. I read that the 4 L. v6 on the ford is underpowered for its size.
AmiableAdder
They’re a bit too expensive : /
I’m even considering a for ranger sport because I like Ford and it has a 4L V6 and it comes in manual. And they’re only about 2/3 the price of a Outback 3.6R.

@AmiableAdder Camping is cool. I’d get an Audi all road, or a volvo cross country.
AmiableAdder
@TorchTexas
Ya, keyword is wannabes though (like half-tuned civics).
The forester wouldn’t beat out any decent race car, though, which is why there’s the wrx sti (which I was thinking about getting, but it’s not as versatile as a forester or outback, it costs more, and I like to go camping).
230hp + awd (stock) would easily beat out any stock civic or corolla or any other wannabe street racing cars (i don’t think many people choose corollas as a tuning car, but I’ve seen em).
TorchTexas
@AmiableAdder the thing is……. with all wheel drive and 230 horsepower, it would beat most of those racer wanabes out there.

SUBARU + ELVIS = COOL!!
varmanintheak
look up Subaru forester STI! haha its owns
AmiableAdder
That makes no sense.
That’s like saying if you love a band you love all their songs, which is almost never the case unless you’re a fanboy (loving something and being a fanboy are not the same).
AmiableAdder
They already make a 4 cylinder with turbo…puts about 230hp into it which is plenty for that little car.
I mean you won’t be doing any street racing but that’s not what the forester was meant for. If you want a street car go for the wrx ; )
gomezjose26
i think subaru should make a performance forester with a h6 maybe a turbo or supurcharger would be nice, what do you guys think of that?

ofcourse yer bike would it weight less than 500lbs and has a small honda civic size engine in it 4 wheels vs 2wheels theres a big difference hook em up and see who pulls who around a parkin lot like a rag doll if you want pure speed get a bike if you want something u can go offroad, on road, burn up the strip, in snow, ice rain, mud get an sti or better yet screw the tug o war i say put yer bike in about half a foot of snow and see who wins
