My Wife’s New Subaru Forester
Posted August 31st, 2009 @ 10:16pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Even as recently as a few days ago my wife wasn't sure what kind of car she wanted.
That's all over now - we picked up the new car today - a Subaru Forester 2.5x Limited in "Paprika Red Pearl":
Came with some nice options in addition to all of the standard features, including:
- All Weather Floor Mats
- Auto Dim Mirror w/Compass & Homelink
- iPod Interface Kit
- Black iPod/Phone Console Tray
- Luggage Compartment Cover
- Rear Bumper Cover
- Splash Guard Kit
- Vertical Cargo Net
And yeah, it's pretty lame that mud flaps are an option, but whatever. And we got it at a good price, too.

I'll admit we didn't look into Subaru. We ruled out Subaru a couple years ago based on talking with local rental companies about their repair needs.
But that was a while ago, and I expect their experience was based on older model years than that. Everything recent I see has been pretty positive.
And on a strictly aesthetic level, that's a nice color, too. 🙂

I am a big fan of our 2002 Subaru Forester. The older models (like mine) had issues with the head gasket, but from what I read the problem was fixed in the new models from the past couple of years.
Very nice color!
