NOT for Off Road Use

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: Good vehicle for pavement. Don't buy if you are thinking of getting off the pavement.
Review: When I bought my 2003 Forestor, I was initially very pleased with it. The comfort and ride on the road was excellent. Subaru's commercials, literature and the salesman at the dealership lead me to believe that it was an off road vehicle. This was...

Will surprise you. Test Drive it first before you judge it

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend buying this car if you need an SUV, good tow vehicle (limit=less than 2000 lbs.) and good mileage.
Review: My Honda Accord (206K miles) is an excellent car and has held up well, but when I got an estimate for needed repairs, it was time to let it go. I needed to find another vehicle that had good interior room, was very reliable, good mileage, recommend...

2004 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2003
Review: I picked up my Forester the second week of July and have loved it ever since. The space is excellent for a small SUV (I used to own a 2001 Ford Escape XLT). The car is more attractive than lower model Foresters, but there is really no hint of the...

Great value in a used car!

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2006
Review: I got my Subaru in April and have fallen more in love with it since I have gotten it. I got the xs model which came nicely equipped.(6 cd player,AWD, AC, Fog lights, eye glass storage, cargo mat and a lot of good storage areas) The first thing I...

Great vehicle

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: An all around great vehicle that combines car like and SUV like features into an attractive and cohesive package with great safety and value.
Review: On Saturday, a routine drive of the car lots near my house turned a test drive of a 2003 Subaru Forester 2.5X. It has just over 52,200 miles. It booked for just over $17,000. The dealer price was $13,999. It had just been put on the lot the day...

2004 Subaru Forester XT (Forester Turbo)

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2003
The Bottom Line: Recommended. A great buy on many counts.
Review: I recently test drove a Subaru XT with black leather, moonroof and heated seats. I am in the market for an SUV and had been looking at considerably more expensive varieties (Volvo XC90, Toyota 4Runner, Acura MDX, etc.) and thought I would see what...

2004 forester xt

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2003
Review: i always liked the forester, but was never a fan of the 4cl engine. now with a turbo 4, this small suv is complete and lacks next to nothing. the awd and power combine to give you great handling for a suv and hold you on the road better than most...

Everything You Need to Know About the '03 Forester! (Written by someone who owns one!)

Date of Review:  Sep 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you're thinking you need a car with a little more room, you owe it to yourself to check this car out!
Review: With so-called "crossover" sport-utility vehicles all the rage, nearly every manufacturer in America is scrambling to churn out its version of the ultimate sedan/sport-ute/station wagon combo. Too bad Subaru already beat them to the punch - five...

No More Frumpy Forester

Date of Review:  Jul 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: Subaru virtually invented the car-based SUV concept, and the '03 Forester is proof they know what they're doing. The new Forester is better looking inside and out.
Review: Subaru used to be a rather funky nameplate that appealed largely to those who live in the snow or ?those weird neighbors from Oregon? we?ve all lived next to at one point or another (Saab and Volvo people seem to be cut from the same cloth as Subaru...

Sweating the Details

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: It does everything I need it to do without being a gigantic, gas-guzzling behemoth. Practical and accommodating.
Review: I purchased my Forester two weeks ago after much online research, a trip to the Detroit Auto Show, and a lot of haggling on the phone. I am pleased to find that the car has been everything I've hoped.

I wanted a vehicle that would:
