My 2001 Forester is a bit sluggish (especially at high elevations). But it seems pretty reliable...I bought 100K miles/7 years extended warranty (together with the car in 2000), but never used it so far. My question's about new Forester models with turbo engine: how reliable are they? Turbo was introduced with 2005 model (I think), so there should be some data on its reliability by now. Would it make sense to buy extended warranty plan (with Turbo Forester)?
