FORESTER TEST DRIVE

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 1999
Review: I recently test drove the Subaru Forester to compare it to the Outback Sport, Audi A4, and some other vehicles.

The Forester is truly unique. When you drive it, your mind is somewhat confused as to what sort of vehicle you are in. It...

I love this car

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2000
Review: Before I got my Forester, I had a Honda Accord that I didn't think could be topped. But the Forester is even better than the Accord, and most of that is because of the safety features it has. We live in Maine, and the All Wheel Drive is a real...

Low maintenance SUV

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2000
Review: I've had my Subaru for a little over 14 months now and I'm comfortable in recommending the vehicle to those that are looking for a compact SUV. My prior vehicle was an Explorer (bought the first year model and was it ever a lemon!) and I was...

Subaru Forester L

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 1999
Review: The Forester L is a SUV built upon a Legacy frame. Competition is the RAV 4, Honda Oddsey, and the like. All-wheel drive and ground clearance make this an excellent vehicle in inclement weather. There are numerous cubbyholes and storage compartments...

X-Country in the Forester S

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2000
Review: Last year my friend and I took a road trip across the country and back. His father was nice enough to let us use his brand new Subaru Forester S model, with the leather interior option. It was the PERFECT car for the trip. The gas mileage was good,...

I recommend the Forester

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 1999
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this trouble-free, comfortable, easy-to-drive vehicle to anyone who doesn't need a lot of space. My next car will be a Subaru.
Review: Updated: 15 January 2002: My next car will definitely be a Subaru. This car has not given me a moment of trouble. She handles beautifully on ice and snow, and deals pretty well with mud and muck.

(Original review: November 1999)

SUV Home Run

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2000
Review: After test driving many SUV's of various sizes the Forester demonstrated qualities not found in others. This was my first SUV so I was skeptical as to its overall handling, rideability, and performance. I have driven this SUV for approximately one...

Space, Economy, Safety and Handling

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2000
Review: We love our 1999 Forester that we bought new in May 1999 and have now owned for a year. It handles like a dream! Which means it corners beautifully, as opposed to feeling 'mushy' and unstable like a Ford Explorer does when you try to take a corner...

Safe As a Car, Safe as An SUV

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 1999
Review: Sounds contradictory, but it isn't. With regards to crash tests, most SUV's meet truck safety standards. But SUV's typically have better traction and braking systems, which gives an edge when trying to avoid an accident.

The Subaru Forester...

Review: The date now is 11/08/06 and I recently bought my 1999 forester 3 days ago. I was shopping around on craigslist and I had $10,000 cash to buy a car with. I test drove a number of cars and suv's The jeep cherokee was a Joke and handled like crap. The...
