2008 Subaru Forester 2.5 X review

I'm surprised at the ride

September 18, 2020
By UKkid89 from Jefferson, GA
Owns this car

I had low expectations the previous one was no power but sure footed. This one has lots more power and the same sure footed feeling in all weather. I've been converted to a Subaru fan. Not for myself but for my kids.
