It's a Florida car! This 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5x Premium with 117k spent its first 100,000 miles or so in Florida before coming to the Upper Midwest a year ago ... so it should be hard to find much rust on this All-Wheel Drive in Sage Green Metallic. It had its head gaskets replaced 10k ago, and we sealed the transmission, replaced a ball joint, gave it new front brake rotors and new brake pads all around. Also fixed the air conditioning and gave it a 4-wheel alignment.

--> Gave it our signature 300+ mile test, and it passed.

Automatic transmission with sport shift. Its double wishbone rear suspension makes for a smoother ride.

17" alloy wheels with a set of 4 Atturo AZ600 touring all-season tires have 4-7/32" tread remaining. (10/32" is new, and 2/32" means Replace Now.) We balanced and rotated the tires for you, putting the deeper tread in front.

Has a hitch! Also a wiring harness for trailer lights (see photos).

Powered Sunroof with generous dimensions: 28" x 31.5".

10-way power driver seat including power lumbar support. Flip-down rear armrest and beverage holder. Rear seats recline as well as fold down for more cargo space.

The 80-Watt stereo system has handsfree Bluetooth connectivity for your phone and wireless audio streaming. Bluetooth and phone control buttons on front console; audio and cruise control buttons on steering wheel. 1/8" aux jack in the center console.

There are 3 12v power outlets: in the front console, center console, and rear cargo area.

A trip computer is in the dashboard to monitor fuel economy: it's gotten 24.6 mpg over the last 390 miles, but in 65 miles of highway driving, it got 27.9! (See photos.) Not bad for an All-Wheel Drive SUV.

Of all Subaru models, the Forester has a bit more headroom: it's an inch or two higher than the Outback. Driver's seat height (adjustable) averages about 25" off the ground. Its ground clearance of 8.7 inches makes it not only easy to get in and out of, but along with the all-wheel drive, makes it a great vehicle for all seasons, including Midwest winters.

Cargo volume with the rear seats up is 30.8 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded, it's 63.0 cf.

For stability and safety, Subaru's Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system monitors the direction of the car compared to the intended steering direction. It compensates by braking individual wheels and/or altering fuel flow to the engine. Also, the Traction Control System (TCS) senses if any wheels are skidding and redirects power only to those wheels having the best traction.

This model was a Top Safety Pick for 2010 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It comes with six airbags (including side-curtain ones) as well as Brake Assist. Also, the Forester was one of only four SUV models that year to earn the top IIHS rating of "Good" for roof strength.

Imperfections (see photos): Small windshield chip. No rear window washer pump (rear wiper works fine, though).

But of course this Forester has Subaru's signature All-Wheel Drive transmission!
