Hi All,

I am on a used car hunt. I have a line on a
2006 forrester that looks good.

The Comsumer's Reports used car buying guide
for 2007 says that the 2005 forrester is a good buy.
I haven't got my hands on the 2008 guide yet.

Does anyone know if the 2006 forrester did as
well or better than the 2005?

Many thanks,
-T

I have an '05, its basically the same as '06. The tail light looks
different, but mechanically they're the same. Had an '03 which was
totaled, it was identical to my '05.
Consumer Reports says the new model this spring will be a larger
redesign with stability control.
