I'm buying a S.F. in a month and want to do it as cheaply as possible. Prefer no options except for automatic transmission which my wife demands. Is there any option you think is really desirable? I'm retired and will be driving around Boulder, CO, so except for some trips to ski resorts, pretty mundane driving. I'd like your opinion on really useful options?

Replying to: boho (Jun 11, 2009 8:04 am) This package is not available on the base Forester X, but is optional on the X Premium, and is standard on Limited models. I know you want to save money, but I really think this is worth the extra money. We have it on two of our Subarus, and would never buy another Subaru without the AWP. The first time you use the bun warmers on cold winter morning, you will be sold, I guarantee it.  Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 11, 2009 8:33 am) I agree -- the only option I wish I had is the wiper de-icer and mirror heater -- but, these become very expensive considering you must upgrade to the premium. Winter wiper blades do help with ice and snow, especially if the car sits out overnight in winter. Bill

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 12, 2009 7:41 am) I had had some reservations going for jump in price from the premium vs the limited, but no regrets now. I do believe the 2010 premium has the moonroof and heated seats, although they're not leather. |

Replying to: connieylee (Jun 12, 2009 8:02 am) The key words in the original post were: "as cheaply as possible" and "retired". I am also retired and a major issue for me was: I do not want a moon roof. So, everyone has his own preferences. Its unfortunate the builders do not offer more combinations. One other negative on the base is that the passanger seat has no height adjustment -- so, if someone is going to be riding there a lot, have them check it out. These really are fine cars, with or without all the extras. Bill
