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...

What makes this the best compact SUV? (with link to my review of 2004 turbo)

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Practically packaged, styled very well inside, great handling for this class of vehicle, and affordably priced. The closest I've come to wanting an SUV.
Review: The last few years have witnessed the emergence of a new class of vehicles: the car-based SUV. These are for people who desire the image and interior versatility of an SUV, and perhaps all-weather capability as well, but want ride and handling more...

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...

2003 Forester: Best All Around

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you are considering something in the small SUV class, you should give the 2003 Subaru Forester very serious consideration.
Review: I spent a year looking at various SUV's. When I found the 2003 Subaru Forester that was it. I bought one a few weeks later. I found most impressive the opinions of Forester owners; all of them seemed to love this car. I looked at some other cars...

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...

My Little Red Forester

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want a nice, safe vehicle that's a joy to drive, buy a Forester.
Review: This is the fourth vehicle I've owned. The last one was a 2000 Ford Focus LX that was constantly getting repaired or getting another recall done to it. I need a reliable car, but then, who doesn't. After my Focus decided it didn't want to let me put...

I LOVE this car

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy this car. You will not be sorry. One of the safest cute-utes out there. 2 words. HUGE MOONROOF.
Review: I Really do love this car. In fact let me start by saying I wasn't sure at first. but after the break in period, and I became more comfortable with the car I couldn't be happier. well I could. I wanted the 04 Turbo, but they weren't going to deal on...

//The First Review on the Turbo-Charged Forester\\

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great car, can't beat the price/performance ratio
Review: Recently, I have test driven the 2004 Subaru Forester XT. I am going to give you all the information I can, that I gathered from the test drive.
Handling. The handling in this car is unbeatable for its price, with the exception of the WRX...

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:
