Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: Easy to own, easy to drive, easy on the pocket
Review: First things first...I'm writing about an ENGLISH-spec Forester with a standard non-turbo 2.0 litre engine. I have the SP package which adds a huge sunroof...aircon...heated front seats...and a singleplay CD/cassette/radio - all of which are...

Review: I purchased my 2002 Subaru Forester Premium Package, also referred to as the SX or OK option, in May of this year 2005. It has heated seats and mirrors, windshield wiper defrosters, compass and self dimming rearview mirror, painted bumpers, side...

I own two Foresters

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: I would definitely buy another one. It is a solid car for the money. We will see how it is past 100k.
Review: I leased my second Subaru Forester this past fall. I have been impressed with my 1999 and figured what the hey. The points from my Subaru credit card helped sway the decision too.

Things I like:
The engine is more responsive in the...

High Value.

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: Subaru offers the highest value I have seen so far. The Forester represents my first Subaru purchase. I suspect it will not be my last.
Review: Purchased the 2002 Subaru Forester after test driving the Toyota Highlander, Mazda Tribute, and Isuzu Axiom. I have to say the Axiom and Highlander gave a slightly better ride, but overall the Forester soundly beat the competition in the factors...

Neither rain nor snow shall stop its appointed rounds.

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2003
Review: We've had our Forester for a couple of years now. It is just plain great. The first time I drove it in the mountains, the Black Range in Gila National Forest, New Mexico, I thought I was dreaming. It handled the curves and undulations perfectly. I...

"Sport-Cute?"

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Handles like a car, with more cargo space, and 4-wheel drive.
Review: One of the "trendy" phrases for the "Sport Utility Vehicle," or "SUV," has been the "Sport-Ute."

Some reviews have started calling the smaller "sport-utes" "sport-cutes," implying that they're somehow not quite as "good" as larger...

Subarus aren't as reliable as they used to be

Date of Review:  May 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: This car isn't as well-made as it used to be. Mine is plagued with problems.
Review: I've been waiting for years to have the $$ to buy a Subaru. I did my homework, read Consumer Reports and things like eopinion.com, talked to folks, test drove vehicles -- everything. I never read a bad review. Everything I read said that this was a...

Buy something else.

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's poorly manufactured. Avoid it and buy something else.
Review: Interesting that everyone else loves this vehicle. My impression is that folks test drive the vehicle and don't actually drive it on a daily basis. Or, if they do buy it, they write a review while they are still enamored with it -- and before they...

The 2002 Subaru Forester Rocks!

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: A solid 5-Star buy based on my selection criteria above. It is easy to maintain, safe, durable, and reliable. Advise getting most powerful engine available.
Review: Despite the occasional jeer from friends alluding to the vehicle's effeminate nature, I have found the 2002 Subaru Forester to be just as tough, more reliable, and a heck of a lot safer than a majority of the full-size SUVs to which it has been...
