CONS: The car is too noisy-too much engine noise, too much road noise, too much outside noise coming in.

REVIEW: This car has been very reliable. While it handles quite well, does the ride have to be so rough and noisy on anything but the smoothest of road surfaces? Has subaru ever heard of sound absorbing materials? Oh and yes the front seats are kind of small and I am only 5-6. One other thing- I hope I ...

CONS: Handling near the limit, interior finish & comfort

REVIEW: I traded in my 2004 Subaru Outback Sportwagon for this in a game effort to get more cargo room for two small kids, but it was a mistake. The added carrying capacity didn't make up for the loss in performance and handling. My only major problem with the Outback was the dealer ducking a valid ...

CONS: Not allot of features on base line

REVIEW: I'm an 19 year old female away at college, this car is very reliable. Its very comfortable and safe for my long drives home. My parents don't worry about me in this car because of all the advanced safety features. It doesn't have allot of features on the base line but is a good value. I ...

CONS: If the auto transmission is taken out of drive to neutral , re-engaging drive will cause a "clunk"

REVIEW: Brakes needed doing at 25.000kms. My previous (7) Subarus all needed early/low milage brake work. Even when in top condition the brakes are only 2 stars. This is my only significant complaint regarding Subarus. Interior design/layout is ideal for the "do-it-yourselfer" for those ...

CONS: short wheel base makes ride a little rough

REVIEW: I talked my wife into buying this car based on research. We have only had it a few months but have found it an excellent buy. All wheel drive that does not intrude and decent fuel mileage are great features. She bought it to carry video and other training equipment which it does nicely (low ...

CONS: No Automatic Locking Doors, No Glove Box Light and No Window Tint In Cargo Area

REVIEW: I've owned my 06 Forester Premier for a little more than a year now. It has almost 18,000 miles and I have had no problems. I looked at the competition but found the Forester to be the best choice. I was very impressed with the build quality and the list of standard equipment. My wife ...

CONS: A bunch, involving ride, power, convenience, utility, quality

REVIEW: I don't like this car. The ride is rough; acceleration is sluggish (downright dangerous when A/C is on); shift points seem strange, with a second-gear blip that sounds troubling, regardless of what the dealer says, and a reluctance to downshift automatically into first gear when slowing to a ...

CONS: Original equipment tires very poor. Auto transmission is only 4-speed.

REVIEW: I have 18,000+ miles on my 2006 Forester XT Limited. Very good handling and ride with new (replacement) high quality tires. The turbocharged 2.5 liter engine gives good performance and reasonable economy in overall driving conditions. I like the roominess and flexibility, which allows ...

CONS: light beige flooring- can get dirty

REVIEW: love the car- love the way it handles- this is my second subaru- i'm sure it won't be my last- i'm sold on the subaru ...

CONS: Quality

REVIEW: I have to say that I am dissapointed with this car so far. Coming from a family that has had Subarus, I expected more in terms of mechanical and interior quality. I have 7000 miles on it, it's never been offroad, and do date, it has been in the shop 4 times to repair interior door rattles, a ...
