Nothing major has gone wrong with the car so far. Spot lights have blown out a few times, but that's it. Rear brake pads need replacing next service. Great all around car, and a good choice for the someone that wants understated performance from this versatile car.

2009 Subaru Forester

10 Feb 2009 12:38:03 PST

So much downshifting by the four-speed automatic transmission intrudes upon the otherwise smooth acceleration of the normally aspirated 2.5X, making it seem underpowered although 170 horsepower should do the job. The turbocharged XT is more desirable because of its torque, although...

2009 Subaru Forester, Part Two

10 Mar 2008 21:20:00 PDT

Written by info.rss@cro.consumer.org (Consumer Reports)
Pretty good handling with low roll and quick steering." The [transmission] paddle shifters work well but are always active, so they can easily be nudged by accident." Spins wheels easily in front-wheel drive in the wet. Why not just have a mode that is on-demand AWD and leave it at that?"
