Was originally received as a gift from a friend who moved onto a new car of their own. The car was a gift, so I don't really want to dwell on the complaints, but as you can imagine, a near 20-year-old car will not look as it did when it first left the showroom. But the engine still runs great and strong, and I was advised by my mechanic that when you get a good Japanese motor, they can run forever.

My Subaru Forester gives me everything I could ask for. The size is a small, SUV type, which allows for enough room to pack for long trips while still being fairly small on the actual road. It rides incredibly smoothly and accelerates at a great rate. The interior is comfortable, easy to clean, and durable. The safety features are also excellent, as Subaru's have a great reputation when it comes to safety tests. The stereo system, CD player, and speakers are more than adequate and let out strong sound. Additionally, I love having a middle console to store my things in as well as the dashboard, which is flat enough to rest my GPS device on. This is a great car, and I highly recommend it to young adults, as I think it is a great car to start out with. It is perfect for taking on road trips, packing for college, going to the beach, or simply running errands in. I especially like driving around with my three golden retrievers.
