A *real* SUV

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this SUV to anyone looking for something to get them to the mountains, the beach or just about anywhere!
Review: My wife and I bought our 2002 Forester L in May of this year (2002) after realizing that our 2001 Honda CR-V wasn't going to cut it anymore for getting us to and from the mountains in the winter (see my review on the 2001 CR-V). We were drawn to the...

Subaru Forester: A Great Urban Mini-SUV

Date of Review:  May 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great little all-weather mini-SUV for both town and country use: Stylish, compact, powerful, safe, comfortable, and rugged.
Review: I really dislike the big SUVs for urban/suburban use: They're too big to be safe (for other cars) on the road or maneuvered easily in traffic, and they wastefully suck down fuel. The Subaru Forester is a perfect compromise: Traction, road stability,...

I'm a Subaru convert for life

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2005
The Bottom Line: The best car I've ever owned
Review: I bought my Forester L new in 2002. I'd been rear-ended at a stoplight and my Saturn totaled two years before. In too much of a hurry to get a replacement vehicle, I stupidly bought a Chevy Cavalier. Within six months, I knew I had to get something...

This Car Saved My Life!!!

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you are concerned about your safety, it's worth the money to get the forester. It's not a sports car, but it's good on the highway and streets.
Review: I have driven two different 2002 Subaru Foresters in the past year because my first one saved my life.


How It All Started

It all started a year ago when I was graduated college. I was looking to get a new car to commute to...

My favorite rental car ever

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: I was surprised at the nice handling on this SUV. Great for a rental car and will consider when I purchase my next car.
Review: My wife and I recently went to Hawaii and our first stop was the island of Maui. We got our car from Enterprise rent-a-car and I had reserved a mid-sized car. They gave us the 2002 Subaru Forester, which technically is not a mid-sized car, but it is...

Safe, Reliable, and fun to drive Forester

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: The Subaru Forester is safe, reliable, and affordable. . . not to mention fun to drive.
Review: When it came time to buy a new car, I searched for an affordable vehicle with excellent safety ratings. Being that my husband has a long commute to work, and we're often transporting precious cargo (our baby daughter), we wanted to make sure this...

Great Handling

Date of Review:  May 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: The more I drive it, the more I like it! Test drive a Subaru and be sure to try it out on a winding rural road.
Review: What can I say? I love this car. It has cargo space comparable to or better than most small SUV's. The ride is more comfortable than any small SUV I've ever driven. It has the best crash test results in it's class. And the handling was the biggest...

Forester the Savior!

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: The 2002 Forester is an excellent SUV that rides a smooth as a car. It is not perfect but quite acceptable.
Review: Subaru Forester 2002

Forester the Savior!

For years Subaru was the un-contested champion of the all-wheel drive vehicle. I still clearly remember their earlier television ads with the US Ski Olympic Team, proudly saying that to...
