2005 Subaru Forester 2.5 X review
273,000 miles...so far!
I own a 2005 Subaru forester, LL Bean addition. It has 273,000 miles on it and it runs like it's new! I bought it used and replaced the water pump, timing chain, and gaskets as a preventive measure and it runs like it's a new car. I found that the repairs and parts are very reasonable compared to other cars I've owned. I live in Colorado and the Forester is amazing on snow. I live on a fairly steep Hill and this is the first car can handle it with no problem. It is an ample power, but if you want more power there is always the turbo option. The Forester can handle a surprising amount of cargo when needed, if you put the seats down and the ample headroom allows me to put my dog's crate in the back when needed. I have several friends who are hard core Subaru fans and now I completely understand why!
