For the price, there are much better vehicles, IMO. If I wanted to drive a metal garbage can (only thing I can relate the feeling of driving a Forester to), I would have saved about $20k and put a motorcycle engine on the can sitting at the end of my driveway.
Can you tell I'm not a fan? LOL.

Thanks. I understand about liking the OB vs. Forester (or simply not liking the Forester at all), but haven't quite found a better vehicle in terms of awd, clearance, and handling like a car than a base model Forester ... except for maybe the Rav (which I haven't test driven).
