Forester Owners Speak Out
What was the main reason you bought a Forester?
We ended up falling in love with our 2007 Forester because of the safety and reliability, and also because
of its great utility.
- Forester Owner
What was the main reason you bought a Forester?
Safety: I've never felt as safe in any other car as I do in my Forester. Although I've been fortunate
enough never to have been in an accident in it, I feel that based on all of the research that it not only will help
me avoid some accidents, but also that if I do get in to one, I'll be well protected. Handling/Performance: The AWD
on my Forester kicks the butt of the 4WD on my Wrangler... at least for everyday driving in all of the rain and snow
I have in my area! Also, I live at a very high altitude (10,200 feet), and it seems to have little effect on the power
of my 2008 Forester Turbo (automatic). I love it! Culture: Much like the Wrangler owners, Subaru owners have their
own little culture. I can't tell you how many times I've run in to fellow Subaru owners and they just go on and on
about how many Subaru vehicles they've owned in the past and how much they've loved them. I've had a number of people
come up to me at gas stations, etc., and want to check out the car and talk to me about it.

How much room is there in a Forester?
The new Forester has improved rear leg room by just over 4 inches. I'm 5'10" and fit comfortably back
there. They have also redesigned the rear suspension to allow for more cargo space in the back. Because of the new
suspension they were able to reduce the size of the wheel wells within the vehicle. Getting four 30" suitcases shouldn't
be a problem. I know I could fit that in my Outback now, and it has less cargo room.
- Forester Owner
What can you pack in your Forester?
Dogs are the main thing (besides people, of course) that end up in our Forester. I've already had to
do some interior repairs to the ceiling liner - thankfully, not because of the dogs, but the man who fixed them seemed
to think that Subaru is just one of those brands for dog people... I can't disagree, we have four and they love to
stick their heads out of the sunroof!
- Forester Owner
What can you pack in your Forester?
We haul lots of stuff: three big dogs, camping gear, fishing gear, horse tack/items, musical instruments,
mountain bike, snow shoes, hiking gear.
- Forester Owner
What was the main reason you bought a Forester?
The biggest reason for my first Subaru purchase was Northern New York winters. Near Lake Ontario we
can get 3"-30" of snow in a matter of hours, winter driving can be dangerous and the weather can change in a heartbeat.
I can honestly say that I feel safe and secure when driving my Subaru, whatever season it is.
- Forester Owner
How much room is there in a Forester?
I am only 5'5", and my husband is maybe 5'9", so there is plenty of room for us. My brother-in-law (6'1")
was here last week and spent the whole time riding around in the back seat. He seemed fine, no complaining, and we
did a few road trips.
- Forester Owner
How much room is there in a Forester?
A critical factor for me was the front leg room, since I am 6' 5" tall and have had back surgery. I
found the Forester to be very comfortable. I cannot speak to the rear leg room since I only plan on putting my dog
in the back. As far as cargo room goes, I think the Forester has ample space. I ride a bicycle a lot and like to carry
it in the vehicle. The Forester more than handles my bike and all related equipment.
