The new Ford Freestar is not a great minivan, but it has a great fold-flat third-row seat and really good flip-forward middle-row captain's chairs. |

| 2008 2009 Subaru Forester |
| 2008 2009 Subaru Forester X comes with power windows, locks and mirrors; air conditioning; cruise control; tilt steering; 16-inch wheels and tires; 100-watt AM/FM/weatherband CD audio; and remote keyless entry. XS models have automatic climate control, aluminum alloy wheels, an in-dash six-disc CD changer, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter and upgraded interior upholstery and carpet. There are two major option packages available -- an optional cold weather package and a premium package (with or without leather upholstery) -- as well as a number of small stand-alone utility items. The top-line XT adds a turbocharged engine, roof rails, heated front seats, a wiper de-icer and a seven-speaker audio system with subwoofer to the standard equipment list. As on the XS, you can get a premium package that adds a sunroof and leather seating. The XT also features a functional hood scoop, unique alloy wheels, a chrome exhaust tip and body-colored side cladding. |

 ABS is standard on 2008 2009 Subaru Foresters, though XS and XT models get rear disc brakes and an Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) system. Active head restraints and side-impact airbags round out the Forester's safety features. Subaru earned a perfect five stars in all front- and side-impact testing. 2008 2009 Subaru Forester has won high praise for the high-quality look and feel of its interior. Rear-seat passengers got a slight increase in leg- and foot room last year, but the rear quarters are still a little tight. Rear cargo room with the seats folded measures 64.1 cubic feet, a bit shy of the major players in this class. Forester is stable and predictable even when pushed beyond its modest limits. The steering is a bit vague at speed, and the soft suspension tuning results in some body roll, but for day-to-day driving, it's comfortable and controllable enough to suit most drivers. |
