That's good to know theres another manual SUV on sale.
Yep, i really liked it, BUT if I was in the market for a small SUV the Forrester Manual would probably be at the top of my list. MT actually tested the manual and got 0-60 in arounf 7.5 seconds which is pretty well flying for the class (hi po turbos and optional V6s notwithstanding and even some of those are slower). Mindyou they called it slow, which i don't understand. Can't really think of ANY other small SUV with the base motor/transmission that comes in less than 8 or 8.5 0-60. Anyways......
