I have a 2004 forester, briliant car and i have punished it with overloading and then some, its travelled very well to qld and back several times now and have 159000 on the clock - owned it from new. the tyres i have on it are coopers - they were installed at 90000km and they are still going strong!! have regular serviced the car at ultra tune from new and had the timing belt done at the 150000k mark as per the manual. would i get another forester - yes but i would test drive it well first as they are not like the one i have now. I have now driven an xtrail - i can tell you a forester leaves it for dead for handling and driving ability. BTW it is a manual. those at astrofest have seen the little beasty.......with trailer "fully loaded" fuel is generally around the 10l/100k
