  Best Vehicle I ever had - 2002 Subaru Forester
  By Michael - April 9 - 10:10 am

  I bought it from the dealer in 2002, haven’t been back to that dealership for any work. I just put gas in it, change the oil and air filters. Gets awesome gas mileage, awesome performance, great at towing, does just fine at off-road and I feel safe in it when racing along with traffic. I towed 6,500 lbs of trailer from NH to TN (1300 miles) with no problems getting up hills or accelerating down the Interstate. Vehicle has been the best one Ive ever had. Previous vehicles were 2000 Toyota Camry, 1998 Kia Sportage, and 1986 Volkswagen Jetta. None were close as good as this vehicle has been to me.

  Well I think it should REALLY have improved comfort/road noise!! Also it doesnt have good brakes or reliable cup holders. Mine broke in less than a year! Also those dark/light gray seats soak up way too much sun. I would not recommend it.

  pocono taxi - 2002 Subaru Forester
  By meeeary - February 9 - 2:00 am

  very reliable. only thing I do not like is that teh brakes go too low to the floor, as if they are worn out. Dealer checked and says they are OK. Vary good car in the snowstorms that are common in the pennsylvania pocono mountains. Not top heavy like most suvs so less chance of tipping over.

  Forester is Fabulous! - 2002 Subaru Forester
  By Kristy - January 25 - 8:56 am

  After test driving a 2002 Forester, I fell in love with it. The HUGE sunroof and big windows give a great open feel. I have the 5 speed S Premium and I love it. The car is very comfortable with many drivers seat lumbar adjustments and heated seats. The look, the feel, the whole package is great! I highly recommend the Subaru Forester.
