ProsIt's fast, Its comfortable and can go almost anywhere. ConsThe exterior looks aren't great but that can be modified somewhat.

This Car Is Absolutely Fun! — Acceleration from 0-100kph was about 6.7 seconds maybe faster. Note that this was the JDM model so it was actually faster than the import model. Braking was pretty good and handling was sweet (AWD). Extremely low maintenance, highly durable but maybe having to always buy octane boost and stuff for the turbo would add up. The Forester isn't really known for it's looks. The exterior was okay but definitely not good while the interior was pretty normal except for the momo steering and shifter as well as the bucket seats with a mix of leather and cloth upholstery which added a sportier feel to the Forester. By far the most fun car I have ever driven although, I haven't driven much cars that were built for speed but hey the 03' Subaru Forester XT JDM model is truly a sweet ride.

ProsSolid car, safe car. Handles well. Requires little or not maintenance except for oil changes and regular services by the dealer ConsIt is a basic model. It has good air conditioning and a good cd/radio. Not much else.

An Excellent, Solid, Well Maintained Car That Needs Some Minor Body Work — The car is basic car. We bought it for family needs. It has been very reliable. Wonderful in bad weather because of its all wheel drive. It is the older model compared to the larger and higher upgraded new models of this car. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Turbo Forester — Pros: Awesome AWD, 2.5 Turbo motor is the same found in the STI of the same year (but smaller turbo and intercooler), 4.44 Final drive 5 speed transmission, heated seats, and the ridiculously good sound that comes out of the exhaust pipe. Cons: Suspension is too soft, body roll, brakes could be better, the back of the car is anything but pretty, and below average noise insulation throughout. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

It Is Everything I Expected. I Love My Forester — I always wanted a Forester ever since they first came out. I finally purchased one just a couple of weeks ago and love it! I love driving it, being in it, looking at it. It is everything I had hoped for. It has reduced my stress of commuting to work, and is fun and comfortable for recreational driving. I am an artist and it has plenty of space for all my equipment with easy access. No more knee aches and pains....access and seating are just the right height. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Yes It Would — the forester is a wild beast does 0-100kn/h in about 6 seconds flat awesome all-wheel drive capability and with those heavy duty sway bars it has no body role which is very good for a car with 16cm ground clearance. its terrible on fuel it looks like its a sleeper and it is great fun to drive especially on moist dirt roads out in the brindy's. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsIf you enjoy driving, then this car is for you. ConsIt's not for show-offs or status.

Fun, Practicle, Affordable! — Handling fantastic. Most fun I've had in car... that's for the last four years. I enjoy driving to work in the mornings & back in the evening. Reliability is legendary. Subaru only use genuine parts, so make sure you have a maintenance plan. It's also less attractive to thieves. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Sporty, Yet Functional — I love the ability to go anywhere, do anything, and get there in a hurry. It can go off-roading with the SUV's, then get back on the road and smoke Mustang GT's all day long. It is a great all around car. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing?? — Its an STI in disguise, case in point why would an ordinary Forester have ceramic brake pads?? Plus it has more room to haul around all of your stuff and who doesn't need that?? Turbo need I say more?? and ground clearance. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
