Subaru Forester

Hello mga Sir/Maam, i'm planning to buy an secondhand 4x4 SUV na durable at pwede i-drive sa mga unpaved trails, muddy roads, and sa mga malulubak na daan. Di naman araw-araw ipang offroad, maybe once every week or every 2 weeks. And di naman hardcore off-roading, pang farm at nit-so-rugged hills like the hills in Antipolo and Montalban. I'm considering a Forester since its already an AWD. (just to clarify mga Sir, AWD is the same as 4x4 right?).

What your take on this? Will the Forester fit my requirement? Cheers and regards!

I don't see why not sir. If you want it, get it.

Get the likes of pajero field master if your going to off road once a week. Or even land cruiser.

Hi, did anyone experience na palaging natatanggal ang rear seat recliner button? Palagi kasing natatanggal eh

^no similar experience, sorry, probably because i rarely use the rear set recliner function.

maybe the other Forester owners can help?

Nice rims and drop. I'm torn whether to get rims or a spoiler first lol

Hi all. How do you like the seats of the Forester vis a vis the seats of current and previous cars?

Personally, I like the seats of my old RAV 4 more. More comfortable. And I don't know if its just a coincidence, but I started getting lower back pains (right side) when I started driving the Forester. Could be old age too, of course

but the seats certainly didn't help.

Considering the amount of time I spend driving, I'm thinking if its worth it to upgrade to Recaro (or other after market seats).

I'm not experiencing any back pains with the seats although I admit they're less comfy than my Exalta's leather seats.

If you're planning to go Recaros, I think this would fit your needs.
