Picked up my 2009 Forester 2.5X w/premium 4/24/08.. I noticed a "rolling" noise while driving. Brought back to dealer to check & thought it was the tires and suggested I might call yokohama to see what they would do. Well I did call & yoko was very helpful and offered to switch out tires. I changed to Avid H4s and suprise, still had the noise. Went back to dealer & asked to drive another 2009 forester .. It also had the noise but not as pronounced. The service manager suggested I leave the car for a day & he would have several techs check it out. They called back today saying they also drove another forester & said the noise was more evident in my car. They called for a subaru tech to come & look at the car to see where we're going with this. this is not for another week.. I also called subaru corp & started a case. So far everyone seems accommodating but I'm skeptical as to what's going to happen if I'm still disatisfied. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this "rolling " noise ( similar to a tire rolling noise) .. I have a feeling this is inherent to AWD with subaru.. I have not owned a AWD before, however I expect the vehicle to be quiet . this is a crossover and not a truck...

| Thanks Axman for the Kudos. Who in the heck is buying up all these Beans .I did have a 2001 Outback Legacy that we kept till 2005.Looked at the Forester and test drove the X model,but was not impressed. Did not really care for the styling. So opted for the 05 Cr V. Then are Subie bucks were going to start to expire (1800.00) starting 04/.08,Heard about the new Subie coming and went to the auto show Feb 08 and liked the new look. Dealer gave me a pretty good price along with free scheduled maintenance (3 Years) so-long 05 Cr V.. Good Luck on getting the 1 u want. Sooner than Later!!!! | |

According to Subaru, the Forester is off to "a great start". Per the Auto Observer columm here: "Forester sales of 5,339 units were 49 percent over year-earlier sales of the previous version of the vehicle." |

picking up my Camelia Red LL Bean 2.5x Forester on Friday after a long search and many test drives of the competitors. Just curious, does anyone know why the large sunroof glass isn't tinted? Also , does it have a tilt up feature? Thanks for any info and all the past info. This forum has proven to be both very informative and useful. |
