More Trouble Than It's Worth

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you value convenience, work on your car yourself, value helpful or friendly assistance, or don't want to get ripped off for service buy a different SUV.
Review: When I first drove my mother's 1999 Subaru Forester, I enjoyed it. It was roomy and comfortable for a car (although not really when compared to other mini-SUVs), and felt safe with the ABS and all-wheel drive. I could see more of the road because...

Subaru Forester-- FIVE STARS! GREAT CAR!

Date of Review:  May 21, 2003
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...

A great value!

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 1999
Review: I looked at and test drove several of the Consumer Reports top-rated cars in the 'Small SUV' category. This included the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V. While the Forester doesn't initially feel as large as the Honda, it has a great personality and...

Little Tough Vehicle

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 1999
Review: If you live in a far off mountain canyon, up a dirt road in a nearly vertical parking space. Deal with daily sometimes hourly weather changes.
Do you drive thirty thousand miles a year? Make deliveries in the city on a daily basis? Travel long...

Rugged and peppy

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2000
Review: LOVE MY FORESTER!!!!!!!!! This is my first Subaru and have been 100% pleased with it. I live in VT and it handles the poor road conditions like a dream. When I come home during bad weather and my husband asks me if the roads were bad I usually say,...

Perfect for me so far!

Date of Review:  May 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's an SUV, a luxury car, a sports car, an economy car, and a truck all at the same time! It's a Forester!
Review: It all started when a friend of mine bought a Forester back in 2000. I haven't always liked the Subaru brand and to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to it back then and thought it was just another querky Subaru. This changed when a second...

Forester S with Leather is perfect

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2006
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...

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...

Not at all what I expected!

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2000
Review: I purchased a 2000 last year in July, and not one day goes by that I don't wish someone had stopped me.

My subaru has the same problem with power as others have commented about. Initially, pedal to the medal and....zero power! Then when it...

A Real Gem

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 1999
Review: I bought my new Forester in May 1999 and have been thrilled with its performance. My husband and I own 40 acres of land in the Massachusetts Berkshires with a cabin at the end of a 1500 foot dirt road. With some VERY steep parts of the road the...
