Hey Juice, I know in New England Subaru dealers pay an advertising fee that's mandatory and they pass it on to the customer, does Maryland have the same type of advertising fee?

What a great analysis - thank you!
 
How are you enjoying your Forester? Do you like the turbo? I have an 05 Outback 6 cylinder - will the turbo be a big adjustment for me?
 
Also, do you miss some of the "toys" of the RDX eg. dual climate control?
 
Do ypou have nav in your Forester?
 
Would you and your wife feel comfortable in your Forester in a day-long trip?
 
Thanks so much for your help!

New England has it's own distribution corp, the invoice, msrp, etc are slightly different there.

Lookin to buy either a
09 Forester
08Rav4
08Nissan Rogue
I am not really happy with my 06 Honda CRV.I am a little worried as to a Subaru as there does not seem to be an abundance of dealers nation wide.I live in Illinois and there are several in the Chicago area and it gets sparse after that .I do have one in Iowa 45 min away but was wondering if on long trips and had a problem how easy service would be to get.Not that Subaru's give much trouble but just a concern.Gas mileage is a concern and I want to get the best out of the bunch that I am lookin at. Any one have any thoughts as to why I would want a Forester over the others listed?I intend to test drive one this weekend thanks.

overhead creaks [kurtamaxxxguy] by kahanatina

I have been hearing some of the overhead creaks you discuss. It seems to creak more when the roof is open and on the left side~~esp on disastrous Lake Shore Drive. If I hold/press the roof in a certain area, the creak stops. Where does yours creak? Did the silicon work? Do you advise I try it or discuss w/ the dealer. They will think I am rattle crazy but like you I ___ hate 'em and there's no excuse on a new car.
 
I am back to the dealer tomorrow for discounted fog lights (result of mkt reseach survey) and to get the rattle fixed from the Ipod install~~coming from the right pass front side panel they removed during installation.
 
I have to say that the Ipod interface is the best option I EVER had in a car. I enjoy it so much that it is almost worth the annoying rattle that the dealer hopefully fixes`~just have to turn up the tunes for now! Only thing~~dealer gave no instruction on how to operate (didn't know themselves due to newness) so I have not got beyond shuffle.

Well, according to kurtmaxxguy's description, it's the same crappy climate control system that all Subarus use - I can't wait for the flood of complaints once the first winter hits.
 
As far as your '05 LGT, I don't know about that. I know it's a huge problem on Legacies and very well documented all over scoobymods and legacygt.com.
 
Even the flagship Tribeca has the same junk system. I remember Car & Driver complaining how it couldn't keep a steady temperature during their long drives. And C&D folks rarely pay attention to stuff like that. Must have really annoyed them.

slaterac - in the Forester Prices Paid & Buying Experience thread, we've seen deals on LL Beans as good as $500-$600 below invoice. Right around invoice seems to be a pretty common offer if you shop around via e-mail.

"The Forester with some extras would be great, but it's not available eg.Nav, ..."
 
redrose1 - Navigation is an available option, and it comes with a further upgraded sound system w/single CD. I think the panoramic moonroof is a pretty nice goodie.
 
For those who were looking for the differences between Forester trims, the upgrades are clearly described on a trim-by-trim basis here:
