I am a first time Subaru owner. I bought a 2005 Forester XS two days ago and I have been surfing for tips on quirks and problem parts to watch for as well as to see how the recommended service intervals match up with real life service needs. My dad owned two Subarus and I hope to make this one last as long as his first (1985 wagon that didn't give up until 2000.). So far I love it, though as soon as i got home the review mirror fell off. But that has been my luck with cars.

You may want to post any specific questions you have in the new gen forum as it tends to get a little more traffic.

 

Hopefully you can get the mirror back on and back to enjoying the forester.
