Thank you Jamie Bates And Jeff S. For your helping me find my perfect car
2008 Subaru Forester review
This car has served my needs for the past 5 years and 9 months. Never a break down or tow during ownership from 54,000 - 127,000 miles. The Forester is still built in Japan! An issue with the motor using oil was settled with the previous owner at 36,000 miles with a short block replacement. This new motor still uses no oil to the point of ever needing to add additional between oil changes. I've driven back and forth over the passes on I-70 in Colorado. Driven through snow and extreme weather with substantial success. Hey, It's a Subaru. It's still the best All Wheel Drive system out there.

I was extremely stressed out about buying a new car to get to work, after my previous car got totalled. Cliff and Clayton were super helpful and made sure I didn't leave the shop without finding the right financial situation so I could leave with a car. They even stayed 45 minutes past closing time to help me out. I felt like they really cared about me situation, and went above and beyond to accommodate me!
2008 Subaru Forester review
I purchased my 2008 Forester L.L.Bean used, with about 191k on the clock. At that point I would assume its been decently broken in, but it looks and feels like new. The steering is very responsive, the suspension is somewhat soft as you would expect being that it is a family wagon, not a sports car. Comfortable soft, not worn out. The interior, while simple and clean in design, is very well made. Unlike the dull gray in other models, the Bean has a bold black and tan color scheme, with appropriate use of leather and suede that still show well 11 years later, and feels more luxurious than my 2003 Mini Cooper S. If I had to complain about anything, I would say its the acceleration and throttle response, which are perhaps par for the course. Having come from a decent history of sports cars, the performance does leave a bit to be desired, but all in all my 2008 L.L.Bean Forester has proven to be one of the most comfortable and most reliable vehicles I've owned.

I inquired about a car. The car was still available. The person that responded was professional. I couldn't get cash. The cars look good.
2008 Subaru Forester review
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.

Micah was upfront about every single thing. He was also very helpful with all questions we had. Best purchase experience I have ever had so far. Favi was best with customer service listened to everything we said. Regardless of if it was her department or not. She had all answers if she didn't have it she didn't shy from getting any manager out to answer our questions.
2008 Subaru Forester review
We got the 2008 LL Bean Forester because we heard the Forester was a safe car and with a little 5 year old I wanted to be sure we would be safe. I had no idea how much I would love this car. I was not planning on the LL Bean but when I test drove the regular Forester and then the LL Bean it was obvious that I had to get the LL Bean. As soon as I sat in the seats, I knew I want that car. The seats on the LL Bean Forester was like a big comfy easy chair. The only issue I have is I wish the center armrest extended forward more. I'm short so I sit up close to the wheel and my elbow can't reach the center armrest. However, I still love the LL Bean even more than my 20017 Forester but since my son who is now 16 needed a safe car to drive, I gave him the LL Bean.

2008 Subaru Forester review
Metes all my needs. It could use 2-3 more 12 volts receptacles up front on the dash somewhere. ( for radar detector, for charging cell phone and a heated coffee travel mug. I own a 2003 subura baja truck.
