With it being 15 years old, of course the maintenance has to be kept up with. But overall the car has been so safe and fun, I absolutely would own another. Not only does it handle extremely well for an SUV/wagon, but it is surprisingly quick and is a real sleeper.

So far so good: hoping for a long future together
I have recently needed to repair the AC, control arm and spark plugs and wires. It is comfortable and reliable otherwise. I have only owned the vehicle for 6 months. It has had the timing belt replaced before I acquired it. I am happy with it overall.

Clean, stock, quick Subaru forester xt
Reliable, 5 speed manual, turbo, clean little car. Purchased car to modify but we ended up liking it completely stock. I tinted the windows. I enjoy the safety of AWD, and the speed of turbo. Fuel mileage is good lower than the class of car but it's fun to drive. Subarus are usually rated pretty high in crash test.
