Subaru Forester 2011 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Subaru Forester 2011 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
What's a good first car?
Because you want to travel to the snow, and visit farms, I would suggest an all-wheel drive compact wagon, and with your need for low running and service costs I would suggest that it be an Asian brand. Models to consider would be a Subaru Forester, Nissan X-Trail or Kia Sportage.

Subaru Forester 2011: What's causing the steering on my diesel to becomes notchy on long distances?
It’s a difficult one for the dealership to fix, as it seems like it only happens after being driven for some time at high speed. It’s hard to do that at the dealership. But it would seem like the steering is losing assistance. Check the pump.

Subaru Forester 2011: Is it a good used buy?
Sadly, 2011 is not one of the better years for a Subaru. The new-generation model Forester arrived in 2013 and it gets The Tick. Ironically, a Forester from 2002-2009 is a good choice.
