        LOVE my Forester

        by Harrison P on 7/24/2024 1:57:31 AM

        I’ve put 86,000 on Windsor over the past 8 years, and I’ve loved them all. The Forester is wonderfully capable in all conditions, doesn’t break the bank with gas, cheap and easy to work on, and is reliable out the wazoo. He’s never left me stranded, and I’ve only had a few major repairs—mostly from lack of routine maintenance. I hope to keep driving him for the next 86,000, or as long as he lets me. Windsor’s done everything I’ve asked, and then some. He’s taken me across the country and back 5 times—4 of which in 6 months. I used to live on top of a mountain in rural Wyoming, and he got me up and down every single time, in up to 8 inches of fresh snow. I would leave him parked for 2 weeks every month, and he started right up and hit the ground running. With the computer AWD, all-season tires were perfectly adequate. I would routinely be at ski mountain lots next to the big 4x4 trucks, and had just as many people and skis as they did! The interior on the 2010 year generation is perfect. The seats are comfy, I love the huge sunroof when the weather’s good, and the heated seats when it’s not. I love the no-frills approach even more. Never had an issue with electronics inside or outside, and I don’t plan on it. It’s definitely not as spacious as some of the larger SUV’s out there, but is perfectly enough for your average dorm room. Can’t say enough great things about the 2010 Forester. But that was my attempt. Now for the unpleasantries. If you grab one of these from 09-11, make sure the head gasket was replaced if the mileage is over 75, lest you pay the 3k to replace it. I really wish I’d known about it when I got it, but it’s paid off. I also really wish the gas mileage was better, given the new ones are easily getting 30+ mpg. All in all, I’ve loved my Forester. Would I buy another one? Sure! Should you? I recommend it!…
