The Forester only has Motor Image as a service center and part suppliers (although ive read in the Subaru Car Talks area that there are other venues to get spare parts). I want to know if the Forester is comparatively as economical and easy to maintain as a well established car as CRV or RAV4. Are spare parts easy to come by? Personally, I'm in love with the Forester, but I have to prove that it's also a practical buy to my wife.

Hope someone can answer my questions.

basta rule of thumb, if a car is somewhat rare, sigurado open for price bloating yan.
