2008 Subaru Forester Sports 2.5 X review
I'm surprised at the ride
I had low expectations the previous one was no power but sure footed. This one has lots more power and the same sure footed feeling in all weather. I've been converted to a Subaru fan. Not for myself but for my kids.
There are 4 matching cars close to your year range.
