I don't quite understand why some people would give a one star rating for this wonderful mini-SUV. I guess when you drive a Forester, you need to have the right expectation, just as if you are driving a Porsche (no back seat) or Land Crusier ($$$ at the gas pump, hefty retail price tag), etc. Nobody should expect a car with Ferrari style body styling...
Photos shows how looks a car produced that year. Note that any specimen of this model may have little differences in exterior and interior pics (restyling, face lifting, additional accessories).
