<DIV><FONT size=2>I love my 2001 Forester. The 60/40 fold-down =
rear seat
is perfect for sliding in an action, and the all-wheel drive will get =
you
anywhere. Handles great; it's kind of an oversized Subaru Outback, =
built
on a car frame rather than a truck frame. (The reviews say "On the =
road,
it handles like a car; off-road, it handles like a car...). =
Mileage is
about 24mpg highway.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While my car was waiting to get fixed =
after the
near-head-on incident, a friend loaned me her Subaru Forester. I =
loved
driving it (she was ready to sell it to me, then changed her =
mind). It
has a cover for the storage section and places on the inside to attach =
bungee
cords to hold things in place--thread the cord through tool box =
handles and
attach to the car, or use a net type holder. I learned this from =
a
friend who learned the hard way that the stuff we haul goes flying in =
an
accident. The only problem is the Forester had less room =
and I
REALLY had to plan and pack carefully for service calls. It sure =
would
have been nice for hauling this D action around, though. =
I'm
trying to find that "perfect" vehicle for work and family (that I can
afford--ha!). Perhaps a Camry station wagon. Who
knows.</FONT></DIV>
