The SG Forester from 2006-08 has the same engine as the 2009+ Forester, it's an EJ253. There may be tiny tweaks here and there, but it's darn near the same thing. If you factor in transmission performance, there were definitely some tweaks when the SH Forester debuted.
@myfuruta Uhh sir I would have to say, in my personal opinion and expertise on the that I wholeheartedly AGREE WITH YOU. Yes they kick but when the weather gets bad.
Got 140k on my wifes 04 forester, and it still purrs like a kitten.
just keep up with your fluid changes and tires and it will last. I know a few people in my neck of the woods that have outbacks and foresters in the 200k plus mileage range.
Normally the guy does a great job but in this vid either its the editing or he has a hangover because he is not on the ball and its not the car boring him because he likes Subarus
Good review of a nice car. I have the same model but a 2008 in metallic gray. I see the 2007 LL Bean trunk has black vinyl sides and black hard rubber floor. Wish they had kept that for 2008, which became beige vinyl sides, beige carpet floor, and a beige soft rubber mat.
As a Forester owner, I have to say "Excellent Rewiew!!" I am Bias...so? But seriously, Subaru has an iron clad reputation and equally as tough cars. I don't agree with his statement "Put the L.L.Bean Edition on your list" I have a simple 2.5X Differences.. I lacks the ritzy do-dads and the moonroof. I will survive, Not worth the price, Atleast not for me.
I LOVE my Subaru! With all the snow where I live, it definitely performs better than any SUV or truck. Symmetrical AWD kicks the crap out of 4WD every time.

I don't like this host or his lisp. The way he makes his "s" sound with his lower lip and not his teeth makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm psycho- i don't know.
LMAO! I noticed the "lisp" too....funny! The Forester is a really nice vehicle. I sat in one yesterday. Subaru's quality is exceptional and very impressive, inside and out! The Forester is a very roomy and practical vehicle. Very comfortable too! Subaru makes great cars!
A Suv that started small Suv segment performs better then any competitor in it's class and above it I don't mind having one but I was more into Sports Sedan so I got the Impreza instead STi look alike
forget the AWD drive and offroad capabilities, its got a sunroof and contrasting cabin materials...give me a break.

I'd use toyota technology to make myself a campfire out of a Prius :)

Does anyone know how this model shapes up against the new one? Namely in terms of engine performance in the base engine.

Very well built, provided you take care of it.
