MY09 Subaru Forester XT auto. And for those who are interested.....

Good Points:
- Turbo boxer engine is punchy and reliable.
- Massive interior space for what is a small car on the outside.
- Great visibility
- Capable AWD system that has good front/rear torque split.

Bad points:
- Interior build quality (NVH) is terrible. As far as rattles, creaks and groans go, its the worst car I've ever owned. Its woeful.
- Way underdamped rear suspension. Roll steer can be exciting.
- Some weird interior design features. Think of it as the Saab of the 4WD world.
- 4 speed auto is ancient.
- Surprisingly thirsty no matter how gently you drive it.
- Fuel tank capacity is 10 litres too small.
