what a suv

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2000
Review: The subaru forester is a great car for the whole family. Especially for the kids. It has a very spacious backseat and is very durable. It also comes in four great colors: red, white, green(my favorite), and black. We've had this car for three years...

My 1998 Subaru Forester

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2003
Review: I leased my 1998 Subaru Forester for three years. I was nothing but reliable, except for a recall to have the cap on the brake cylinder replaced, which took a few minutes at the dealership. It is well designed in just about every way, very...

98 Subaru Forest L

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2000
Review: The 98 Subaru Forester L model is easily the finest automobile I've ever driven. I bought this vehicle because I had read several good reviews for the Forester in consumer magazines. Needless to say, I am extremely impressed with nearly all the...

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...

LOVE My Subaru!

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2000
Review: I bought my 1998 Subaru Forester after researching the CR-V and the Forester side-by-side. The safety features sold the car to me. I love the space, the height, and the comfort the Forester has to offer. I can carry my art supplies and my big dog in...

Rear Deferential Problems

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 1999
Review: So my Forester now has 41,000 miles in it. About a month ago it started making an "airy high pitched hum" when I was cruising down the freeway at a consistent speed between 60 and 70 mph. When I had it at the dealer today to get the oil changed I...

Go For It

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 1999
Review: My wife travels between schools during the day, and she needed a vehicle that she would feel safe in in all types of weather. We have relatives all over the country, so we also needed a car we could travel in. We had a Suzuki Sidekick for three...

Almost 2 years now.. best Buy!

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2000
Review: In 1998 Consumer Reports Said the New Forester Was "All That".. I looked at Honda, Toyota, Chevy.. and a few more.. I ended up with a Forester! What a great choice.. It is by far the best and I mean BEST vehicle I have ever had! I had not had very...

A better SUV

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2000
Review: After my 1995 Subaru Legacy wagon was stolen, I wanted another. It had been a great car, but this was 1998. The Forester, I thought, would be a second-best solution, but now I don't know how I could have lived without it. I love the way it handles,...
