T4r Vs Forester ???????

[94T4R]

Somebody please let me know about this matchup..it's important!

Two completely different vehicles!!!!!

4-Runner = SUV

Forester = Car

No sense even comparing the two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apples and oranges. Both taste good. What are you hungry for?...

What will it be used for?

I must say I'm disappointed in the Subi's reliability rating lately. I have 2 friends with Forrsters and they have had some mechanical issues. Both 2.5 4s with no turbo.

I remember two good threads about this, one was with the 2005 Forester XT PP AT :

And one was with 2004 Suburu Forester XT(turbo):

I remember both were pretty good threads despite the fact that I posted on both of these threads.:arrow:

A slightly better comparison that may fit your needs better:

Forrester vs. Toyota Highlander

Well like others said, they are really not comparable. Subaru has done the world a grave injustice by suggesting that their vehicles are as capable as SUV's, real SUV's that is. The whole crossover segment is a joke, including highlanders, pilots and the like, they tout them as being the best of both worlds, car and suv, when really they are the worst. These vehicles are not real trucks so they lack rugged frames, real ground clearance and traditional 4wd w/ lo, but they are high enough that they no longer handle as well as a normal car would. So you end up with a vehicle lacking any off-road ability yet shackled with similar poor handling of suv's. Granted with unibody and lower weight they do handle better that most truck based utes, but certainly not the best of both worlds.

Have you ever noticed that Station Wagons are not called "Station Wagons". We now call them SUV's, Sport Wagons, Cross Over SUV's anything but Station Wagons.


:soapbox: OK, I'll get off the subject.
