Looking for a decent used car. I like what I have read about the Subaru Forester and I would like to know what you think of them. Should I purchase one with Turbo or not and is there anything I should be on the lookout for? Also, I am a 67 year old 250 lb man and I need a comfortable seat and ride due to a bad back. I live in the mountains of Pennsylvania and like the Idea of all wheel drive.

We do not recommend one car to another. If it is a turbo motor I only recommend that you use synthetic oil and nothing else due to heat from turbo and when you shut off engine turbo continues to spin so synthetic is by far almost required in my opinion. Other than that you can have a mechanic check it out for you. Comfort is your decision as every one is different.
