1999 Subaru Forester

Pros: roomy, great back seats, AWD, inexpensive!

Cons: a little strange to drive at first.

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...

Pros: Very comfortable seating, great gas mileage, great visibility, enough power to handle the hills.

Cons: Poor cup-holder placement, cargo area windows don't open; flimsy keyless remote

The Bottom Line: A great buy for a mini SUV. Low maintenance, good mileage

Review: We bought our 1999 Forester S new in October 1998. Since then, we have taken it into the Canadian Rockies-up to Jasper, down the icefields parkway, into Banff, the Glacier and Yellowstone. The only repair needed: a flat tire in Yellowstone. We also too ...

Pros: EVERYTHING

Cons: Back seat is a little cramped but not that bad, the back seats recline.

The Bottom Line: Get this car and forget everything else. You cant ask for much more in a car. HONESTLY

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 ...

Pros: comfortable, powerful, mileage

Cons: interior lights

The Bottom Line: I like it and highly recommend it if this type of car fits your needs. I've been driving it for over 8 years now.

Review: I've had this car for a bit over a year now. And I am very happy with it but before I get into that I should say something about why I bought it. Why I bought: I was looking for a small and reliable car. My first thought was a Toyota as I had ...

Pros: Price, Handling, Design, Comfort

Cons: Backseat snug for adults

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you can find it, but I haven't seen too many for sale used.

Review: When I first saw the Forester, I thought it was missing the window frame and would likely have a lot of road noise. Boy was I wrong. My hubby coerced me to try this vehicle and I absolutely love it. We got the leather option with the heated front seats...

Pros: The benefits of an all-wheel drive SUV, but a car's comfort and practicality

Cons: Back seat a little cramped.

Review: Here's the short version: I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Read on for a longer review of this great little SUV.

First off, I'm a mother, not a mechanic. So don't expect any talk here about transmissions, drive trains, gear ratios, carburetors,...

Pros: Very Safe, Excellent Traction Control, Lots of Room, Lower Price than Many SUVs

Cons: Mushy Brakes, Burns more Gas (Compared to a Car)

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...

Pros: Very easy to drive, not too pricey.

Cons: Black paint shows the dirt. ALL of the dirt!

Review: I wasn't prepared to look for a new vehicle until this year. An almost fatal car accident forced me on the mercy of the car lot. Thank goodness!

Our family has had Subaru's for years. They are very reliable, very dependable and very easy to...

Pros: truck-like capacity and car-handling. Great in snow!

Cons: gas hog, poorly-designed cup holder

Review: This is the best car I've ever owned.

I've owned compacts and pickups by Nissan and Honda, and driven a slew of other cars. I knew I wanted something that handled like a car but let me carry all my toys (bikes, skis, canoe, etc.) and had...

Pros: Great visibility, peppy, gears up and down beautifully, a small SUV without the environmental repurcussions

Cons: about $22 a tank which is more than most small cars

The Bottom Line: A comfortable, reliable and safe ride for any driver!

Review: The Subaru Forester is a WONDERFUL car, at a great price (we purchased ours for about $12,000 used) and it was the best investment we've ever made. The Forester has great visibility, virtually no blindspot, great trunk space, and all the pros of being a...
