I have been using an 04 model belonging to an elderly friend for some months now. I find it low on power compared to my wife's Honda Euro, and undeserving of its name "Forester" The couple of times I have used it in the bush (State Forests) on well made dirt roads it has lacked traction and almost got stuck once due to wheel slippage. So stick to the tarmac on road type tyres. Fuel consumption is not too good either. Reliability wise the elderly friend just had to pay $2000 for centre diff repairs. He had neglected servicing though so this may be the reason.
