Marcin is absolutely correct,
Marcin is absolutely correct, the seats in the Forester has no lumbar support. My back aches for days after the drive.
Coupled with the huge expanse of windows but weak A/C and it’s uncomfortable during hot summer months without setting the fan to high.
The brakes are prone to fading too, so expect them to warp in successive panic stops (infrequent) or long mountain passes. Cruise control to “downshift” doesn’t help as much as you’d think in those circumstances.
Speaking of mountains, expect the 2.5 to drone and hamper conversations or disturb those napping.
Forget the stereo working since there’s multiple reports of the Bluetooth portion failing across multiple Foresters.
