The ride is smooth and the acceleration is also nice and smooth. The gas mileage is the usual for its size. I really like how the front window is not cramped in size or style.

I love my Subaru Forester. It has tons of space for carrying both people and cargo. It is perfect for outback getaways as well as everyday driving. The standard roof rack is also exceptional for carrying all sorts of cargo, I mostly carry canoes and kayaks. Additionally, it has amazing visibility from all angles. It has the carrying capacity of a truck with the comfort of an SUV, but small enough for any parking place and decent MPG fuel efficiency. It can go up most any logging road and get you to your adventure launch points. It's also extremely reliable, so you can feel confident driving far from any services.
