"Sport-Cute?"

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Handles like a car, with more cargo space, and 4-wheel drive.
Review: One of the "trendy" phrases for the "Sport Utility Vehicle," or "SUV," has been the "Sport-Ute."

Some reviews have started calling the smaller "sport-utes" "sport-cutes," implying that they're somehow not quite as "good" as larger...

This Car Saved My Life!!!

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you are concerned about your safety, it's worth the money to get the forester. It's not a sports car, but it's good on the highway and streets.
Review: I have driven two different 2002 Subaru Foresters in the past year because my first one saved my life.

It all started a year ago when I was graduated college. I was looking to get a new car to commute to...

My favorite rental car ever

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: I was surprised at the nice handling on this SUV. Great for a rental car and will consider when I purchase my next car.
Review: My wife and I recently went to Hawaii and our first stop was the island of Maui. We got our car from Enterprise rent-a-car and I had reserved a mid-sized car. They gave us the 2002 Subaru Forester, which technically is not a mid-sized car, but it is...

I'm a Subaru convert for life

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2005
The Bottom Line: The best car I've ever owned
Review: I bought my Forester L new in 2002. I'd been rear-ended at a stoplight and my Saturn totaled two years before. In too much of a hurry to get a replacement vehicle, I stupidly bought a Chevy Cavalier. Within six months, I knew I had to get something...

Forester the Savior!

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: The 2002 Forester is an excellent SUV that rides a smooth as a car. It is not perfect but quite acceptable.
Review: Subaru Forester 2002

Forester the Savior!

For years Subaru was the un-contested champion of the all-wheel drive vehicle. I still clearly remember their earlier television ads with the US Ski Olympic Team, proudly saying that to...

Subarus aren't as reliable as they used to be

Date of Review:  May 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: This car isn't as well-made as it used to be. Mine is plagued with problems.
Review: I've been waiting for years to have the $$ to buy a Subaru. I did my homework, read Consumer Reports and things like eopinion.com, talked to folks, test drove vehicles -- everything. I never read a bad review. Everything I read said that this was a...

I Miss My Yankee Clipper Sled

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: A generally competent small SUV with inconsistent winter road abilities, cramped ride, and refined appointments. Despite it's flaws, I still like it.
Review: I am not a technical reviewer, so please know that this review is written from the "dumb consumer" point of view. I've owned several Subarus in the past, and have been fairly impressed by each one. We live in the frozen Northeast (this year it's...

i recommend 2002 subaru forester

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car to anyone, but especially for 2-3 person roadtrips, outdoor sports lovers ,or people who are considering a miniSUV.
Review: I purchased a 2002 subaru forester 4 months ago- in the middle of August 2002. It is white with only 100 miles on it. Because of the bonus features I got, the car also has a HUGE moonroof that opens up, two front heated seats, rear window defrost...
