Yeah Foresters!!!!!!!! I have an O8 (previously had an 01) manual transmission. MPG highway about 27-28. Man can this car haul gear. You should be able to get a used one in your price range and they run forever. One caveat if it's a 98-01 make sure the headgaskets are okay as this was a major but fixable problem in these cars. Otherwise they are usually trouble free. check out www.subaruforester.org for more info. Feel the Subie Love!!!!!
