were all entitled to an opinion, and, having owned two subarus and SEVERAL
other makes and models, I know for a fact, YOUR OPINION SUCKS!  fact...,
subaru forester has the highest HP in its class, fact... forester has the
BEST crash worthiness rating in it's class (2 separate testing companies
also) fact..., forester has better clearance than any other SUV in it's
class, including the cherokee (sport) fact...., forester is the number ONE
SUV among women car buyers ( i gues you are not a chick and neither am i, but
half the population + is)...fact... forester AWD can actually HANDLE offraoad
well, as compared to jeeps, hondas ect...many standard features like tortion
bars, rear diff protection, indep susp, excelent brakes set it apart from the
competition. fact.. forester for three years has a consumer report buyer
rating of BEST BUY.  fact...forester delivers 168 horses and AWD AT 27
MPG!!!! regular 87 octane man!!  what crack are you smoking?  just
wondering...
oh yeah, and as for the interior...7 speaker, whoofer incld 6 CD stereo, ALL
leather seating, butt warmers, auto everything, self dimming mirrors, GREAT
(large) window visibility, plush flooring, factory HVY duty subaru rubber
mats, rear voltage rec., great leg room, rear seats fold flat down for cargo
or sleeping, cold AC, child seat belts in the roof, ect...ect. and oh yeah,
have you seen the accesory catalogue?? so much crap for camping, offroading,
and travelling your Xmas list will be full for years to come!
i say go drive a few more SUVs and STOP comparing all your cars to the
VANAGON SYNCRO, everybody knows there is no logical comparison to this...
