[2005 Legacy/Outback vs. Forester]

I did this same comparison last week, and I came out an '04 Forester owner as of Saturday. It was a very hard decision for me, but it came down to the fact that the Forester was more "FUN" to drive. My previous cars were Hondas and VW's. I do mostly city driving and it is great to zip around in! It rides really solid and I haven't noticed any rattles or noises, and I am "KEEN" on noises. I got a really great deal, over and above the $1M Reabate! Good luck!

[Hood Protector for '04 Forester]

Thanks for the input! I like the looks too!

 

I have the factory unit installed on my 02 OBW. In my opinion, it really sets off the pearl white paint and taupe lower painted sections on the front of the car. It has stopped the stone rash on the front of the hood, and it has claimed more than its share of bugs. Does it cut back on the number of bugs that make it to the windshield? I don't know. It fits well, does not rattle or vibrate, and I like the looks of it. Yes, my next Subie will have one as well.

[Hood Protector for '04 Forester]

I just bought an '04 Forester this weekend, and would like some opinions on the Acrylic Plastic Wrap-around Hood Protector sold at the dealers. It looks nice , but I was wondering if anyone has any input? Thanks! :-\

Hi! Just bought my first Subaru Forester 2004 two days ago. I love the car and thought I'd join this forum to learn more about it.
