This car can fit a ton in the back end looks good with a roof rack. It isn't that fast but it is an auto with no turbo. Hit a deer with it and nothing mechanical wrong just body work that needed done. All around a good small sport utility vehicle

its low, its fast.. not exatly a big saver on gas.. but its a great ride for the expense, cruises nicely on the road and corners real nice, doest give much slip or skid given it some hard runs and holds up great.

The first-generation Forester had a very particular feel to it. Being lame, borderline ugly, in its design, its performance, amazing versatility, sold build, safety and comfort made it a very succesful car. A few twitches on the fascia and tail in 2001 made it a little better looking, especially for the large stoplights. Additionally, power was boosted 10 HPs, and the dual-range lever became operable in motion, making this crossover, and its base car the Impreza, the first effective 10-gear manual transmission equipped car I am aware of. Thios has always been my favorite feature. Need a boost to pass a slower car on the road? Just pull the lever. Climbing a winding street with a full load? Just pull the lever. Need to cross a small pond? You got it. The very crossover concept, even thoug not invented by Subaru, became a great trend thanks to this particular model. And it worked marvelously. Cosy, stable, fun to drive and quite economic as a car, tall enough, versatile, roomy and quite off-road competent as an SUV, just like the add said. The Subaru Forester delivered what it promissed, big time. Now, maybe it will not win a quarter-mile head to head with many cars, althoug thanks to its dual-range I've left many a driver eating dust at the red light. Certainly it will not attact chicks, although maybe if you bring your kids and/or dog they will pay attention to you, and I can assure you it will not win the Concours d'Élégance even in fifty years when it is considered a classic, although its looks did grow on me very quickly. But its extreme versatility maks up for any of these faults: It's a commuter, a family car, a long trip car, a night-out car, relaxing when stuck in the traffic, extremely capable on the highway, at home on countryside dirt roads.
