Very honest with timely replies.
Very honest with timely replies. Pointed out vehicle deficiencies to me instead of letting me drive out from east coast to find out. I appreciate that increasingly rare quality. Thank you.

Best Subaru Ever!
I bought this vehicle brand new for my 50th, and yes, it almost has a personality. I trust my Subaru unconditionally and I plan to drive for many more years.

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!

Head gasket issues.
In 2005 Subaru experimented with cellulose for head gasket material. Before any long trips, change it out- any where from $1000 to 2000. Other wise, good car

Best all around car ever.
Bought it new in 2005 and it has exceeded all our expectations. Essentially trouble free and totally reliable. Simply put, it's the best car I’ve ever owned. Classic design, it will never look old!
