Love my Forester!

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2000
Review: I leased a Forester the first month they were out & I still love it!!!! I know we were taking a chance, but as you can see, our chance paid off.. It is one of the highest rated vehicles going! It drives beautifully & I haven't had to have anything...

Best of the Mini-SUVs

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 1999
Review: The mini SUVs are all the rage, and why shouldn't they be? They offer the flexibility of a station wagon, the traction of a 4 wheel drive and better gas mileage than that of their bigger brothers. Visually, they do take some getting used to. After...

Top of the Class

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2000
Review: Normally, I am not interested in new-release cars. I'm the cautious type who likes to wait at least a couple of years to see how the model develops. So even though I've been very impressed with Subaru models before, I didn't take much notice when...

lemon or is everyone's car about to experience the same ?

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: This model and the year it was built was plauged with problems. God bless the next owner of my leased car.
Review: Hi,

First off I want everyone to know that this car is my 6th Suburu in a row I have bought. 4 others I drove for well over 140,000 miles and they were great ! One other the XT was also great but had a bug or two. Now about my lovely...

I love my car!

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2000
Review: Let me start off by saying that I love my car! The way that we came about buying the Forester is a little strange, but we got a good deal because it was a crash test car. No major crash, but bumper testing. It got an excellent rating, one of the...

Wow. I had no idea I was buying such a quality vehicle.

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Reliable SUV that handles like a car with a semi-powerful engine (165 HP), a great a/c, few repairs. An all-around CUV (city utility vehicle).
Review: I bought the first model of the Subaru Forester (the 1998 model) in September 1997. I'd researched it on the Internet. I test drove the Forester two or three times, and I test drove several other SUVs. I bought the Forester.

It has been...

Great vehicle with just a few problems

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: Best of the mini-SUVs, safest SUV on the road
Review: I've been driving a used 1998 Subaru Forester with manual transmission for a few months now and have been extremely happy with its performance overall.

Actually, I DID have a problems with the car because the dealership I bought it from...

Best Choice

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 1999
Review: This is the prefect vehicle for former car owners that want to hop on the band wagon. Only it offers a great ride and handling balance, plenty of useful low-end torque, and excellent gas mileage to boot. It's very fun to drive, so giving up a sports...

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Guilt-free SUV, decent mileage, reliable, car-like ride, good options, and you can find one with a 5 speed.
Review: I hate SUVs. They use too much gas, are often bought more as status symbols, are dangerous to other drivers, and most people who buy them have no need for all or 4-wheel drive. BUT, after moving to a remote area that gets a lot of snow, I needed to...

Love IT!

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2000
Review: After reading a review in the paper I went to see the new (98) Forester.
I wanted a SUV but had heard and seen horror stories about how easily they rolled over. At the time the Forester was the only SUV not required to have a rollover alert...
