[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this will be an unpopular take, but I can't stand the newer model Foresters. I love Subarus and was planning on getting a Forester for my next car. But I just can't get on board with the redesign they did in 2014. I look longingly at my neighbors' older Foresters and wish I could get that car, but new. The redesign isn't ugly necessarily, but it looks like every other crossover on the market and even though it's only a little bigger, it looks and feels bulkier to me.

I hate the trend toward larger cars with these rounded edges. Particularly when it comes to wagons and SUVs, I miss the smaller, boxier versions. I also think the road was more pleasant when more cars sat closer to the ground and weren't as imposing. It was easier to see and I actually think people drove more thoughtfully. Everyone feels armored now and I think it makes us all less safe.[/quote]

Agree, the new Forester sucks. It’s just a midsize SUV.

I recently sold a 1999 Forester. Such a fun little box to drive in the city, the storage capacity was amazing. The short wheelbase worked great for street parking. I would buy an updated version if they kept the same dimensions and added the new tech. [/quote]

PP here and yes! Love the 1999 and I would absolutely buy an updated version of that vehicle. I just don't understand what the point was of changing it since that part of the market is already so full. We drive an Outback now but the new Outbacks are also enormous (I kind of miss the old Legacy wagons!). I feel like we're going to wind up in an Impreza because it's the footprint we want but the storage capacity sucks.[/quote]
