So I’ve had my Forester, Forest the Silver Loaf of Bread, for nearly three thousand miles. I thought I’d record my thoughts on it.
Good:
Similar mileage to the Bullmobile
Cargo room for days
That 2.5 has plenty of power and it is very smooth with that 4 speed auto transmission
Handles very flat.
Lights turn off when key is turned off.
Smaller turning radius.
Bad:
In 4th under load from 2k to 2.25k rpm there is an annoying drone. I usually shift down into 3 and then let the rpms build and shift back into D
Front brake pads create dust like crazy.
The most annoying thing for me is that the sun visor does not extend out to cover the whole window. I need something with a plastic bit the slides out or for the whole visor to slide out. I’m hoping that there’ll be something I can source from another Subaru.

It turns on the parking lights which don’t turn off when you turn the car off.

Over on sf it’s called the newb switch.. It’s kind of a rite of passage to post a “why won’t my lights go off?” thread.

Yeah I googled Subaru battery switch and a few of those came up. I’ll side step this right of passage.
