upside being everything including the upgrade parts are warranteed
Through my local dealer I have a 250K mile drivetrain warrantee in addition to the free lifetime maintenance, so I am not messing with my main source of transportation for the family.
The Forester has been rocksolid reliable, gets about 30mpg, and is very fun to drive with the 5sd manual trans.
