2002 Subaru Forester Wagon S AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
Review
Got mine in Feb 2001, It handles great, the features are terrific and also at a
great price. Heated seats, heated wipers, 6 CD Changer etc. The AWD
system is excellent and gives one a lot of confidence while driving in any
kind of weather. Once I had very low fuel and left the vehicle in snow for 2
complete days, and the Forester started after a little chugging at an outside
temperature of 2 degrees Faranheit !!!, I was impressed. A definite Value
for Money vehicle

It puts the sport back in
sport/utility. A blast to drive in the
mountains. A reliable car to take to
the ski basin. It turned the white-
knuckle road up to Ski Apache above
Ruidoso, NM into a fun drive. The
Subaru Forester is in its natural
element on an undulating, winding
mountain road. And it eats up the
Interstate miles with comfort and good
fuel economy, while exhibiting plenty
of power for hills and passing.

My wife and I just bought one of the
first 2003 Forester 2.5XS models and it
is better than I expected. I orginally
wanted a 2002 but the dealer could not
get one from another dealer. He made me
an offer on the showrooms 2003 and I am
glad I went for it. The interior is
amazing with the in dash 6 disc w/ tape
deck and very comfortable leather
seats. I also considered the Honda CRV
but I didn't fit in it to well being
6'3". I will highly recommend this car
to anyone.

This is my first Subaru. Everyone else
in my family owns one. I thought it
was about time. After one winter I
knew it was the best car I have ever
owned. I will never buy anything
else.

Wish there was a bit more room when you
have kids. Back seat is a bit too
close to the front seats.
Next time I am buying the Forrester but
with leather. Seats could be a vit
more comfortable, but plenty of "cubby"
holes to stash stuff...
Tilt steering is very poor!

This is my first Subaru after having
two Saabs and a Jeep. I was pleased
with this vehicle from day one. About
13000 miles (after the second tire
rotation) I notice the rear tires were
showing an abnormal wear patteren
which caused me to have the wheels
aligned at my cost of 69 dollars at
the Subaru dealer. I now have 32000
miles on this vehicle with no
problems. I am very satisfied.

Great in the snow. Great in the
mountains. Great in the desert. Fun in
town. Comfortable on the Interstate.
Nimble, quick, fun. Linked S-curves, up
and down hills. Just perfect.

This is the first Subaru I have
puchased.The comment I find myself
making to anyone who asks, is; I love
the car, I just wish there was a little
more leg room up front. If the drivers
front seat track would slide back a
least another inch or so, I would be
completely satisfied. It is the only
thing that comes up short for me. I am
6'1" and anyone that is any smaller
than this will probably not be
affected. In all other respects, I am a
very satisfied owner. It holds a lot
more cargo than you think with
outstanding visibility all the way
around for the driver. The auto
transmission is smooth and predictable.
The engine has great pickup and
economical as well. I typically get 26-
27 MPG.
