c/net review: 2007 Forrester XT

Full Review

The good: The premium stereo in the 2007 Subaru Forester handles MP3 and WMA CDs in its six-disc changer, and there is an auxiliary audio input. The powerful engine and the all-wheel-drive make light off-roading possible.

The bad: Navigation isn't available on the Forester. The suspension feels loose on the freeway, and the car could use a sixth gear to squeeze out a little more fuel economy.

The bottom line: While the 2007 Subaru Forester isn't much of a tech car, it does have a practical edge and a go-anywhere attitude that we can appreciate.

Score: 6.6 Good

Bottomline: Those SOA @#$#@@#$ need to let the USA have the Forester STi...but I guess the FSTi front bumper and grill that the Sports XT has is a good start.

Sounds like they liked it overall.... I do wish they would bring the FSTi over here though!
