Give your opinions. RAV4 and CR-V, Jeep Liberty and others are considered girly cars, however, I have not seen the Forester among that list. What do you think?

I really like this SUV and am considering one.

Forester XT has leather, climate control and a huge moonroof. What else do you need?:p

EDIT: Most importantly a turbo that makes it FLY:D

None of the cars the OP mentioned will impress most women.

LOL I now want something practical, day to day driving and something that is subtly great. The Subaru Forester just does it for me.

NutBucket, those are nice pics. Not sure if I really want the XT version, however.

It seems like it is the Japanese version, the STI. It would be nice if it was offered here.

I am really starting to believe that Subarus are for non-shallow people.

STUPID!

Why do you take a perfectly good, AWD off-road capable car...and LOWER it? WTF?

Forester = Impreza = Sleeper;)

Gotta love interchangeable suspensions.

Just for you:
Offroad 1
Offroad 2

EDIT: You gotta get the turbo version...or at least test drive one. They're about as fast as an STi due to gearing....yes, stupid fast.

EDIT 2: I should qualify the "gotta get the turbo" by saying I own an '05 Legacy GT and my gf has an '05 WRX, both modded of course.

It's a wagon, so you'll have lots of space for NOS tanks. Who's got the girly car now?

Lots of snow in NY this year, I do not live in NY. There has been no snow here in the South this winter, what a rip-off. The main reason I want the Forester is because it is very subtle, very solid, Subaru reliability, great interior and is very practical. It is great for day to day driving, or I think it is.

I was considering other options before, such as pricey cars like the TL, G35 or something like that. Then I was thinking, why spend that much money? So I considered the Rav4, CR-V, Ford Escape and other car-like smallish SUVs. I ended up liking the Subaru the most because it is the least girliest out of all of them and is generally a better SUV.

Your opinions are needed.

The Forester is a good little SUV. I like something with AWD that can handle weather or go on off-road type stuff....but I hate the HUGE SUV's.

But yeah it handles well and grips good.

Also, check out the Toyota 4Runner. It's a bit bigger but still decent gas mileage etc.

I considered the Highlander, 4Runner but I think I believe that the Forester is a better overall vehicle and probably more sporty. Plus, it is not a Toyota. I understand that Toyota makes great quality cars, but they just don't do it for me.

I was looking at the specs of the Forester and it really is a smallish SUV, but that is not a bad thing. Also, the AWD is a plus.
