I got hit in my 2003 subaru last night directly on the drivers side door. I walked away from the accident. I will never own anonther type of car.

I own a 2003 subaru forester. I've only had one accident, not my fault. I was rearended and the damage to my car was minimal but the other guy not so lucky. lol... My forester is my fav. car so far. :)

@missmallori87 Agreed, I've been rear ended before as well with minimal damage done to the Forester. Still had to say.. Ah!!! What the fuck?!!

The wife and I just bought a 03 subaru forester. we love the the car great out on the highway even better on the beach. I have yet to get it stuck and boy have I tried. The soft sand does not bog it down at all. I like the way it handles on the road. I would recommend one to any one that drives on the back roads or on the beach. I don't live where it snows so all I can say is try it you WILL like it.

I am buying one of these makes me feel alot safer then my previous car

[ianfigures]

Only 4 airbags and the car gets a good rating overall... and the Mercedes E class has 8 airbags and only gets an acceptable. Thats kind of weird. I'd still feel safer if this car had a full curtain airbag and better rear seat protection...

[trainiax]

The 2009 Forester has standard curtain airbags, which should help address some of the minor shortcomings of the model in this test. Even so, the 03-08 model earned "Good" ratings in just about every aspect of this test and is an IIHS "Top Safety Pick".
