Used 2004 Subaru Forester Consumer Reviews
great car
Have had my subaru for two months--also have a subaru Legacy . I love my forester , like the way it handles and rides.Ride little more choppy then Outback but more fun to drive and easy to get in and out of traffic--get about 26mph in mixed driving. I live off road and great winter car---
Great vehicle
We have had zero problems with this vehicle. Has a lot of punch and great to drive. Fair gas mileage. Passenger seat too hard for me.
Awesome To Drive and Own
After 5000 miles and 4 months of highway, city and off road driving not a single problem. Haven't been back to the dealer except to buy accessories! I do a lot of mountain road driving and even with a roof top cargo carrier and camping gear inside it handles great. The safety ratings on this vehicle are excellent also.
Safety First
My 2004 Forester is a replacement for a 2003 which was totaled in a terrible accident. I truely believe that had I been in another SUV I would have been killed. The vehicle was on two wheels and should have flipped over into a deep ditch. Due to the higher placement of the engine and AWD it hugged the road and was able to right itself, returning all wheels to the road. I swerved into a large tree which again, if not for the great bumper system I would have beem killed. I walked away with a burn on my elbow from pushing up against the door. I know that the 2004 will perform as well, if not better. And I love the new features.
Great Car
This is a great vehicle. I traded in my 2002 A4 for this car. I wanted a fun AWD small SUV/wagon. I was hesitant on the eterior styling at first...Once I drove the XT, I was hooked. The turbo 2.5 liter motor is addicting. The 5 speed manual is a little sportier, but this was the compromise between my wife and I. Plus the sunroof in the Premium is to die for. You can't go wrong with this vehicle
