2009 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 No bluetooth or intellikey available. Not deal breaker, but compared to some others in the class it seems lacking. see full Subaru Forester review
2008 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD		 They do not offer more legroom in the back seat. Front passenger seat is ok, but not if you have someone in the back. We got the sport package w/the sunroof, and I love it. Could use better placement of aux port and 12V plug in the armrest console. see full Subaru Forester review
