Best of an SUV and Wagon - Almost - 2000 Subaru Forester

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is trying to send power to the wheels that grip from those that slip
Review: Combine an SUV and a car and what do you get? Subaru would hope that you get the Forester, an all-wheel drive (AWD) hybrid that straddles the line between car and SUV and in the end, you get one of the best hybrid SUV/wagons available out there...

Subaru Forester--An SUV with a Serious Identity Problem

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: This could be right for a single person on the move, not for large families.
Review: It looks like a wagon, has the suspension of an SUV, and drives like a car. Does this make a good combination? Well, it could. But there are some general flaws which have me a bit disenchanted with this vehicle, which I've been driving for the last...

Mostly great, a few bugs

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2000
Review: In Feb. I bought a 2000 Forester S (cold-weather package) after driving a Ford Explorer Sport for 4 years. After 4 months and 10K miles, I'm quite happy with the purchase. I get a lot of the advantages of an SUV (though less of some) without their...

A constant Headache

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: Some people seem to love it- I loved it for how it handled in road conditions and but its not worth the headache of the repairs.

A Winter Driver's Dream

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: would recommend, particularly for drivers in rural areas or who must drive difficult terrain
Review: I bought my Forester in October of 2000. I am a winter driving coward who must drive 33 miles into the foothills of the West Virginia mountains to work. I had previously owned a Jeep Cherokee which saw me through most winter situations. Yet, I was...

Body of a wagon, Spirit of an SUV

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2000
Review: While going on a small expedition with a group of friends, one of them was elected to drive us all there. And when he drove up with his Subaru Forester I said "You're gonna bring a wagon?" He replied "A wagon it is not! Looks may be deceiving my...

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2000

A smooth cruise in my Forester

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2000
Review: Click and Clack, Edmunds, and Consumer Report all give the Forester high marks and now I know why. I've had mine for 3 months now and just love it. It handles great, offers a smooth ride, and holds plenty in back, and has many extra small storage...
