As I just took delivery today I'm very happy with the forester. I chose it for the safety and good AWD. I also just liked the design of the car. I only got the premium as I just graduated from college and as this will be the first of many cars I don't really need the Limited package. The forester is definatly one of the best CUV's out there.

The sales person I was talking to today said that the Subaru 4.5% for 60 months was for folks with credit score of 700 and above. For high 600s, the rate jumps to 5.5%. Don't know the floor for that bracket.
 
I have not found anybody else lower than 4.5% for 60 months- local credit unions in general offer better rates than banks here in Austin- the lowest I found was 4.5% for upto 66 months from a neighborhood credit union.

That bracket ranges from 699-660. You can see which credit scores qualify for which rates here:

Just picked up our Limited (originally ordered LL Bean) after 6 week wait. Our price was $500 under invoice, arranged through one of the dealer's internet managers. That price justified the 65 mile (each way) trip to the dealer.
 
One of the key features for us was also visibility, but we also liked the safety, handling, and utility features of the Forester. Didn't really see any viable competition in this class for the features that were important to us. I wanted to like the CRV and RAV4 based on the reviews, but didn't even bother to test drive them after seeing their poor rearward visibility.

I think that's a good deal compared to the pricing I've seen so far here in Western NY. I'd drive home happy . . .

Thank you all for your responses. We are going to go look at one as soon as we can. Definately by Saturday though. I talked to the dealer in the area that was overcharging me compared to the one up north and they couldn't match the price. I think it's a deal where they don't sell many so they have to make a big profit where the other one up north has sold more than the entire region last month and they can sell quantity and make money that way.
 
If all the numbers hold true, and the dealer said that he stood by this numbers, then I'll be reporting on a new subaru forester this weekend.
 
Side Note: With the price of gas what are you all experiencing? I have seen 26 avg. and 28 avg. but I didn't know.
 
Thanks.

That's not bad. Was it mostly city or highway driving? I'm expecting a little better on highway.

26 ain't bad given it's not broken in yet. It should improve with more miles.
