  • Your dealer is an idiot. It's a common problem with Forresters (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f88/rough-idle-cold-start-16612/) It's possibly a problem with the throttle position sensor, or the MAF (Mass Air Flow sensor), vacuum leak, idle air control sensor, intake manifold leak, or the EGR valve sticking...

Other Choices:

The Honda CR-V has been completely redesigned for 2008, and it has a very spacious interior, with comfortable seating and a smooth ride. The CR-V is also more fuel-efficient, but it just isn't much fun to drive and it's not as rugged when taking on the rutted trail to a campsite. The Outlander is a different type of crossover; it also caters more to on-road performance, but it has a decidedly sporty character, with a firm ride and very crisp handling. On paper, it competes closely with the 2008 Subaru Forester, but in reality, it's quite a bit heavier and just doesn't feel as nimble. However, both of these models have the Forester beat for refinement. Another choice, for those who appreciate the Forester's boxiness and city-friendliness, is the Scion xB. The Scion has a lower price than the Forester, with a similar nimble feel on the road, and it's more fuel-efficient. However, it doesn't have the rugged ability or the all-wheel drive of the Subaru.
