I LOVE MY FORRESTER! I'm on my second, and the only reason for that is that I had an operation a few years back where the doctor said I would never drive a stick again; so what do you do? Of course, you go trade in the standard transmission Forrester for an automatic!! I have no doubt my first would still be with me otherwise.

They're GREAT cars, they withstand anything you dish out, and the interior is perfect for animals/groceries/home supplies/picnic & camping equipment/ musical equipment....you get the picture. I recommend the Forrester any time I get the chance!
