D.O.
We have a 2002 Subaru Forester and love it! The newer models have more room in the back seat than ours. We have a 1 year old and have no problem fitting all of her "stuff" in the cargo area when we travel. Our car has been very reliable and we've never had a problem with it. We just hit 180,000 miles and it's still going strong. The all wheel drive is great in the winter. It's been very well rated by consumer reports.
