Friends,
First some words of praise... My first Forester, bought new 10 years ago in San Francisco, was T-boned by a Ford Explorer last week. The guys at the body shop first wanted to know what in the &^%$ happened, and then couldn't believe I was the driver because I was walking and talking. I walked away with whiplash and a headache (praise God... and the Sube ;-) I'm told she's a total loss... I tear up thinking of all the memories and cross-country drives...
Over the years as the Sube kept on going and going with no problems, I became a loyal fan. And now, after walking away from a broad-side hit, I don't think there's any other car I want to be in.
And so my question... I'd to acquire another Forester, a used one this time. Are there any years or models that are better than others? Any years/models to stay away from?
Many thanks all!
