my buddy just bought an '04 subaru forester and my other friends keep calling it a chick car. it has all wheel drive and can fit his bike nicely in it, so i dunno, it seems practicle, but i don't see many guys driving them. what do you guys think; chick car or no?
chick car or what?

I have a Forester, the wife drives it more than I do but I ain't afraid to drive it, it sure as hell aint a 'chick car' and it has proven itself very versatile.
Wife and I can get both our bikes in the back if we need to, which is great, but not necessary since I own a truck.

Hey, this is the first time I've heard of anyone else with mismatched racks like mine, and I also have a Bob Ratchet and a Rocky Mounts. What a coincidence!Tony said:
That depends...
Unless they changed the design since then, it has a horrible, small, and very uncomfortable back seat. Basically, the back seat sucks big time.
The back seat is only really useful for young children, in infant seats.
If you have teenage kids, or want to travel with four adults, or even just occasionally go out with another couple, the vehicle sucks.

Definitly a chick car. No big deal, but definitly a chick car. Is his name Sally?
I own a Forester (I wanted it).
I am a chick (it's not my fault).
I am also a chick who mountain bikes, caves, hikes, and likes to travel.
Can I do all that in a friggin Miata? Nooooooo.
I can drive through 2 feet of snow with my boyfriend, 2 dogs, luggage, full size spare tire, and 2 bikes on the roof.
No, it's not a pretty car....but it will get across the creek, and leave the 350Z, the civic, the mustang (and any other 'guy' car) on the opposite shore.
-heather

A girl said its not a pretty car...wouldnt a chick car be defined as a car chicks think are cute like the vw beetle or cabriolet, or the mini cooper. Or is it only defined by whether or not more girls drive them than guys? Sorry, i just never heard of the forrester being a chick car.Mudgrrl said:
I would classify these as chick cars:
VW Beetle (complete with fake Gerber Daisy)
VW Jetta
BMW 3 series
Dodge Durango (chick trying to look tough, full makeup and lots of groceries, very tough)
Porsche Boxter
Honda Del Sol
this list can and will be updated at any time I see fit...
