#22554 of 31406 Re: Defending the Forester [volkov] by p0926 Oct 14, 2004 (4:18 pm)
Replying to: volkov (Oct 14, 2004 9:49 am) Very little your Forester can do that Rex can't....except look boring and boxy Hey boxy = good! I think it was Motor Trend that recently did a comparo between the Volvo V50 and the Saabaru. Even though the cargo specs were close to identical, they really dinged the Saabaru for its lack of functional cargo capacity. The smoking gun was a picture of a 4-drawer dresser that fit easily in the V50 but in the Saabaru it protruded far enough that the hatch couldn't come close to being closed. And the Forester is way more versatile than the Volvo -Frank
#22555 of 31406 O.M.G. what did I start ? by thecat Oct 14, 2004 (6:39 pm)
Here's the bottom line. I had a Forester once and really like it. It went anywhere, hauled stuff, was comfortable, had heated seats, got 28 mpg, and I it's looks grew on me. Is it the perfect vehicle for everyone .. no, but as someone told me once .. not everybody likes chocolate ice cream. Now I think that's crazy but it's true. The XT would be nice but I don't want to pay for premium fuel anymore. The XS will be fine. -hutch

I've now owned all three. All practical. All fun.

Nothing beats a friendly debate on which Subaru is the best -Frank Replies to this message: volkov (Oct 14, 2004 7:41 pm)

I saw Jerry Lewis on Broadway in Damn Yankess. Best show I've ever seen. He broke out in an ad-hoc facial expression skit, and had the entire theatre cracking up, and me crying from laughter. My kidneys were sore later. He played the Devil, of course, and the best part was the opposing team was ... the Washington Senators. How appropriate now that it looks like we'll have a team once again. Forester is the only Subie to be rated #1 in its class by CR, C&D, IIHS, or NHTSA. All of them, actually. No other Subie can make any of those claims. -juice

Replying to: rob_m (Oct 14, 2004 3:16 pm) No, Rob. Unfortunately, I have not been to a major league game in many years. My dad had excellent connections and we used to get field box seats and occasionally press box (that narrow band between tiers) to games at Shea. That included Mets and Jets! Now I occasionally take the family to Dutchess Stadium for our local minor league team, the Hudson Valley Renegades. Nolan Ryan's kid used to play for them. Minor league is great fun, very safe & family oriented, and still affordable. Steve Replies to this message: rob_m (Oct 15, 2004 8:23 am)

Replying to: fibber2 (Oct 15, 2004 8:06 am) We have the Lowell Spinners, a minor league team for the Red Sox just 5 minutes from the house. You're right about the minor league games - my 9 year old loves them. Tickets are $6.50 and parking is $3.00
