I test drove one for 2 weeks, but turned it down in the end.
Thing is I wanted a family car that would get me out of any road hazzards.
Family car? No.
There are so many little things missing, the one I drove didn't have a cup holder, the pimped out stereo system didn't have a line-in jack and didn't even read mp3 discs, not nearly enough space in the back, the back seats didn't fold to the front or the back, sub-par storage space and so on.
Road hazzards?
The 4WD was useless when I tried to use it in mud. It's all-time 4WD with no traction control what so ever, just to keep you on road at high speeds.
So what you're getting with the Forrester is a less-than SUV-ish car both in terms of space and performance, you're paying for a nice engine in a mid-size family car with 4WD for high speeds.
Although this way 2006, I think. Things might have changed.
