Overview & Reviews
Subaru's well-regarded Forester crossover sport-ute has been completely redesigned to be an even more enjoyable addition to your family. Engineers have given the tall wagon more interior room, a stiffer body structure, a revised chassis and more standard feature content -- all while keeping exterior dimensions the same and reducing the curb weight by 90 pounds.
- Standard all-wheel drive, availability of upscale features, high safety scores.
- Only one engine choice, price can be higher than most of the competition.

Subaru Forester XS premium w/leather - 2003 Subaru Forester
By merliech/merliech - February 8 - 10:00 amI purchased this car a couple of months ago and have so far put on about 1200 miles so far. I love this car! It handles great, the view of the road is excellent, it drives great in the snow and I love the sunroof! I would highly recommend this car.

By sneezy2 - January 8 - 10:00 amThis is my first new car and I just love it- great value, reliability, safety, excellent visibility, and lots of standard features(that are add-ons with other car makes), plus it is so fun to drive.

Follow up from May, 2003 - 2003 Subaru Forester
By tstodola - November 20 - 2:00 amI have had my 03 Forester for 7 months and 17,000 miles and am more pleased with it now then when I purchased it! It gets 24-25 mpg with varied driving. My wife has not wrested it away from me, but I think she would swap her Solara for the Forester if I offered. With all the crash test data on the car, and my experiences to date, The premium for Subaru is really worth it!

Love my Forester - 2003 Subaru Forester
By dules - November 14 - 2:00 amTraded in my beloved Honda Civic for the Forester. Have only had it for a week but am having a great time with it so far! The 5-speed manual has plenty of pep, love the heated seats and AWD. Im almost sorry to see winter end now that I have this car!

Made the right choice - 2003 Subaru Forester
By Barry W - October 28 - 2:00 amI did the research and study on several SUV models and test drove several, including the Forester. My wife had her heart set on a Forester but I was not yet convinced this was the best choice. Knowing this was her car we negotiated a deal and purchaced a 2003 Forester. The longer I drive it the more Im convinced we made the right choice. Our fuel milage has been averaging 26-29mpg and its a pleasure to drive. The Forester seems a little small for me but not bad, and its a perfect fit for my wife.

LOVE IT! - 2003 Subaru Forester
By oro - September 21 - 10:00 amI hesitated to write a review, because I wanted to see how well the car held up over time. Well, its been a year now, so here I am. This is the first car Ive ever purchased, and Im very happy with my decision. Friends still kid me about getting a WRX, but I say to heck with it! In the last year, Ive been in an accident (insurance covered), and helped 2 friends moved. My Forester still keeps on going!

We live over a 1200 foot high mountain. - 2003 Subaru Forester
By Helen Laughlin - August 28 - 4:26 amWe dont know from one day to the next what our weather will be in the winter. The Subaru is wonderful. This past winter the regular road was closed and we decided to take the summer only road. There was 6 inches of snow on the road and the Subaru went through it just fine. My daughter is in the Air Force and we are looking to help her buy a new Forester. You never know where you will be and it will get you through. It holds to the road just superbly. I drove 18 wheelers in all weather across the U.S. and my Subaru is just as fantastic to drive.
