Just got wife a new '08 Forester as mate to my '03. I posted before,
that I had a '98 that got totaled. We've been so happy with the model
that we continue to buy it.

I'm probably one of the few people that can spot model differences
because of key and roof rail changes over the model years. I like
retaining the basic model look while looking more modern. Other
manufacturers mini SUV's are morphing into hatchbacks and none offer
basic AWD.

Now with wife, I'm discovering stuff I did not know I had like child
safety locks and cup holders in back
