Miles Overview
The 2005 Forester is a compact SUV that feels more like a tall wagon, with a practical interior and a huge sunroof on many trims. The boxer engine is known for longevity, but head gaskets and wheel bearings are common wear items as the miles pile up. Owners note that the interior can get noisy at highway speeds, and the check engine light may come on due to a minor sensor quirk rather than a real problem. The X trim gives you a practical cloth interior and a manual-adjust driver's seat, skipping the XS's power seat and alloy wheels to keep the price down. Its 2.5L boxer four makes enough power for daily driving, and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through town or on the highway. A huge optional sunroof is the one indulgence you can add, and it makes the cabin feel airy on sunny days.
