Well Ive had my new Forester Turbo for about seven weeks (2000 mi) now and I LOVE IT!!!!!!It's great on my 20 some mile Chicago Area drive to work.
It took only three days to get a ticket....next time I'll be more careful in making sure my radar-detector is on as the officer was nice enought to point out...
Its a great round the town car/SUV not to big not to small. My only wish would be for a bigger fuel tank...but the blazzzzzzing acceleration makes up for it.
So here's to the Ford Crown Vic...the Porshe Boxter....the 1992 or so Honda Civic w/20k in "upgrades".....and my favoriate the 2004 Ford F-150 pick-up that could quite hold the road.....I'll se ya at the next stop light.
Happy New Year!

I just purchaed a 2004 Forester Turbo, and mt question is should I run synthetic oil.
I drive 28 miles each way to and from work about half freeway miles half stop and go. I tend to "visit" the red line about 4-6 times a day with the manual trans. I have been told its "good" to run synthetic oil on a smaller harder working engine.
I have a 2000 Miata with 24k and have ben running synthetic oil in with no problems as of yet but I guess it better not at 24 k miles.
Any thoughts for a first time Subaru owner would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

That's fast enough to blow the doors off of most cars out there even the 350Z and G35. Oh and yet it is comfortable enough for weekend trips with my family.
I can't wait to blow the doors off any and all Mustangs. Firebird's, Z car, G35, all huge a** SUV's and Dodge Caravans......EVEN IN SNOW and yes even my beloved Miata.
