The visibility from the cabin is much better than on any of our other vehicles which helps with confidence on the road. They have great pedal feel and stop the vehicle very quickly, which has come in handy on a number of occasions. One thing I neglected to mention in the earlier review was how fantastic the brakes are in this thing.

Update - We have now owned the Forester for 7 months and 9800 miles and are still very pleased with it. Overall, we are very pleased so far with the purchase. The all wheel drive and ground clearance will come in handy for exploring the Forest Service roads around here, and when the snow is an issue. The turning radius is excellent for a vehicle of it's size, for great maneuverability in tight spaces. It handles well on our mountain roads with some expected body lean (for the class of vehicle), and tracks well through the curves. The standard backup camera comes in handy for parking in tight places.

The base infotainment stereo unit has an excellent sound and easy Bluetooth connectability, as well as great radio reception, and shockingly, a CD player for us old folks that like such things. The only criticism so far is that some of the interior materials seem to have hard plastic finishes. It has a roomy and comfortable back seat capable of long trips with little trouble.

The manual 6 speed shifts well and the engine has plenty of power and torque for everyday driving. The fuel economy has been a surprise (over 29 mpg combined), in that we exceed the EPA estimates for the model without really trying. The interior comfort, quietness of the cabin at speed, ride quality, ease of entry and exit, storage space, and fuel economy have all been excellent. The vehicle has so far (1600 miles and about a month of use), proven to be better than expected. This is our first Subaru, and we hope their reputation for durability and reliability are warranted. Another requisite was a manual transmission which is getting harder to find outside of sport models, but was still available in the Forester. We needed something with a little more room, but was still economical to own and operate. We purchased a base model 2018 Forester as an economical everyday/trip vehicle to replace our 16 year old Mazda hatchback.
