My vehicle is a 2014 Subaru forester. It's a great reliable ride that gets around without any problems. I like the fact that it's all wheel drive and very easy to control. It has its own built in system that keeps track of all the maintenance and fluids in the vehicle so it lets you know when something needs to be checked or fixed. The computer system also tells you your mpg and distance until your next refuel. It also has a great stereo system with an easy to reach auxiliary port so you can plug in a device and play music through the stereo system. The only things I dislike so far is it uses synthetic oil so oil changes cost more and if one tire goes flat you have to buy all new tires.

I have always preferred small SUVs, though this is the first one I've owned in several years. The size is perfect. Because I'm short, it gives me a much better view of the road than a sedan, without feeling like I'm driving an enormous vehicle. I was concerned how well it would accelerate, thinking I may have to really floor it to pass someone on the freeway, but it accelerates quickly and smoothly. I also wondered how well it would take tight curves. It does feel a little top-heavy, but less than I expected. The gas mileage also surprised me. I thought it would burn through a lot of gas, but I don't find much difference from my previous cars.
