Used Subaru Forester for Sale in Richmond, VA

I originally got my 2005 Subaru Forester because I needed a bigger car. I had just joined a punk rock band and needed to carry a big amplifier and two large speaker cabinets with me when I went to shows. This car would have to be big enough to easily store this equipment, plus my own guitar equipment, plus whatever other equipment my band members needed me to carry. And it would need to do so over distances of up to 500 miles. And the car would have to be relatively fuel efficient to fit the budget of a starving musician. After a lot of looking around, the (then new) Subary 2005 Forester kept coming up as the best car. I'll be honest, this car isn't something that really jumped out at me as being an amazing car. It's boxy, it doesn't have much pickup, and it's about as exciting as a loaf of bread. The first time I drove it I thought to myself "Why am I driving this boring old person car?" It was only because I needed a car immediately that caused me to actually buy it. And it wasn't very long until I realized that sometimes reliable is far more appealing than exciting. The only reason I don't currently drive the car is that the engine died - after 14 years of hard driving. I hope to get the engine replaced and the car back on the road soon!

This car has by far been my favorite yet! When we found it we had been looking for a bigger/family vehicle, and this one was perfect. The trunk area has great room for our dog to ride, and there's extra storage under the floor to put things other then just the spare. We've also got two car seats and another spot for someone to ride in the back and not have their knees sticking against the from seat like in other sedans or mid-size SUVs. The front is incredibly roomy for my tall husband to rest on long trips plus we have a two-setting seat heater for the driver and passenger. My husband also brags about the lumbar adjust feature in the driver seat. We have a huge sunroof which I love to use. The car also came with a rearview camera and a push button open truck which have spoiled this mom. Overall, I wouldn't trade this car for any of my old ones!
