What do you want to know bud? I've had a few foresters, for me and the wife to use as a runabout on a small holding.

They'e great things! Easy to drive, good visibility and shorter wheelbase than a leggy so easy to park, only downsideshows are they aren' the prettiest of things and like any subaru they'e not fantastic economy.

but if you get a spare set of 15's with some maxxis M8060's on it will go literally anywhere! :-)

Thanks for the replys went and looked at one today. but don't think it ticks all the boxes we had mainly the hight of seats. Used to have an 03 one and it was great but she now has bad back and hips from having our large child. so wanted some that involved less of a struggle to put him in the car. might go and took at an xv to see if they are higher. or look at other bands.

Xvs are about the same but have a look.

legacy are much lower and longer, outbacks are in between the two.
