Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru Forester?
I love the pickup it has, it's very rugged, walks right out of the ice and snow with the awd. Very sporty with a little elegance. The stereo rocks. It's really a great car for us women.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru Forester?
I need an area to place my handbag in the front of the car. It sounds funny but when you have a passenger, you don't have room for the purse except to put it in the back seat.

2006 Subaru Forester Review:
The interior and exterior is very easy to keep clean. The Subaru performs better in any kind of weather than any other car I have owned. Overall, I think more women should own one.

Fix constant O2 sensor problems/fix driver distance to clutch steering/work on smoother 5 speed decelleration (sp?)

2006 Subaru Forester Review:
Not as wonderful as I had hoped. Not as good in snow, smooth gear shifts, driver comfort. Am squashed against steering wheel in order to reach clutch.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru Forester?
Seems to be well built. My XT performs well for its class. Handling & ride are quite good for a compact SUV.Attractive outside & inside.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru Forester?
5-speed auto transmission.
OE tires sub standard. Much improved when I put a set of good tires on it. The hatch cover rattles, and this really is annoying in a vehicle that costs over $28,000.

2006 Subaru Forester Review:
I would seriously consider buying another Forester XT. But there is a lot of competition in the same price range these days, and I would look carefully before buying another Forester.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Subaru Forester?
looks cheap inside, no leg room for back seats. no cassette player. Steel wheels? come on! High priced for little car . Most dealers are only one in town-like it/buy it, if not go somewhere else. Cars are not like women, don't fall in love before you buy.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru Forester?
Rebates/seats that didn't come from Wal-Mart/Aloy wheels are old technology put em on/Radio Shack has a cheap inside/outside temperature gage, Subaru can't fird one?

2006 Subaru Forester Review:
Like all others, has some great points and some that realy stink.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Subaru Forester?
Additional room in the back seat.

2006 Subaru Forester Review:
More comfortable front seat than new RAV4 and 2006 CR-V. Like the rear hatch rather than heavy door. Glad not to have spare tire on the door as with CR-V. Generally, just a pleasant car to drive.
