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.

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.

Replying to: paisan (May 08, 2008 3:25 pm) 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. |

Replying to: redrose1 (May 08, 2008 12:06 pm) 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: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/forester/forester2009.html#std%20features

| picking up my Camella Bean 2,5x today. It was between the rogue and forester. I chose the Forester for several reasons. More cargo space, better rear window visability, better AWD system, more conservative design, and hopefully better gas mileage. I test drove both of them. Owners at this forum at www.nissanrogue.org arenot reporting the expected 26MPG on the AWD, that concerned me as well especially with the most recent gas prices. | |

Replying to: kahanatina (May 08, 2008 5:54 pm) If the creaks go away, then you have the same issue I seemed to have - wires moving around and rubbing against the roof. If the creaks are still there, then something else is going on inside the headliner. After I had removed the upper console, I added some foam around the wiring where it disappeared into the roof, put a piece of foam between the mirror bracket and its fastener, and gently rub silicone on wiring (spray it on a cloth/rag and wipe the wires with it). It's a whole bunch less noisy now, but I won't know for sure until it warms up again (Portland OR just cannot get past winter this year).

Replying to: jeffmc (May 08, 2008 7:51 pm) Thanks! We went to Subaru near us yesterday and they wanted 25,200 for their 2.5x premium with a special packaging deal that was 635 (no discription) and a package for the rail crossbars for 890. It was ridiculous and I walked out. They also offered 1500 below kbb for my fiances car and that was crazy because her car is fine. It's actually more expensive than the Hond CR-V so why wouldn't I just go buy that? Also, can anyone help me I am trying to find out if you see the gear shifts on the Honda or the Subaru. I know you see them on one of the cars. Thanks. |
