Replying to: rsholland (May 15, 2008 3:38 am) Don't miss the 2nd opinion, it's a good summary: The 2009 Subaru Forester has a low step-in height and capacious headroom (I'm 6-foot-1). The instrument gauges are among the most beautiful I've ever seen, with two shades of blue. Everything within the cabin is well-placed and clearly marked, and outward visibility is great. It's got plenty of cargo room as well. The Forester has real, usable power, and corners relatively flat in spite of its tall stature. Despite some complaints made by others, the four-speed automatic delivers the power just when you need it, and it's actually pretty smooth in the manual shift mode

Does anyone know (sorry if this has been answered, tried to search but didn't see anything) if the 2009 Forester (normal, N/A) is available with leather in a 5 spd/manual tranny? thanks |

Replying to: cshopper (May 15, 2008 8:16 am) You would have to get an X Base or X Premium and have leather dealer installed (probably around $1k). |

Replying to: cshopper (May 15, 2008 8:16 am) Subaru didn't sell enough of them. If you want manual tranny with Turbo in Forester, '08's the only option at moment. |

Replying to: rmanke (May 15, 2008 9:34 am) Legacy a little nicer, but Forester more tossable and fun. This time we're getting the Forester.

Replying to: rmanke (May 15, 2008 9:34 am) I may have that as well, and suspect it's in the rear seat reclining mechanisms. As for '08 Outback .vs. '09 Forester, my observations matched yours. Also, the Outback Turbo was far more surgy and less responsive than the Forester, despite Outback's SI Drive, 5-speed manu-matic, etc.

Hi all: I'm new to this forum. I've been shopping the various '09 Forester models and definitely like the extra knee room I get with the tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The only issue is that I prefer not to get the turbo model and they do not have this available. Has anyone heard of getting a tilt/telescoping steering wheel after-market? Otherwise, I may wait to 2010 to see if the option becomes available. Maybe a crazy idea, but thought I'd ask. Best regards, BDW |
