I recently bought a Forester and had to get a lesbian couple to co-sign for the vehicle.
That there is funny. I don't care who you are!
I had a Forester at one time.
I really liked it. With good snow tires, it could climb trees. I ***NEVER*** had a problem driving in the winter.
HOWEVER, the thing ate brakes like no get out.
Every year I had to replace all the brakes. Front in the spring, and rear in the fall. It got to be expensive to keep so traded it in.
