2002 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

This is the car I drive the most often. I have driven this car in all kinds of environments, including in someone else's yard when I made the mistake of taking a turn too fast. My family bought this car for under 2000 used, and it's been worth every penny. Ours doesn't have AC anymore, nor does it have any of the bells and whistles. This car has never let me down, and I doubt that it will. This is the perfect car.

Never in my life was I left stranded in all my Subaru’s. Another plus is You don’t even have to shovel snow you just get in your forester and drive her right through. cars run outstanding nothing better than these good ole boxer motors. Also has one of the best safety ratings as well so when you decide to go do some sick nasty rally stuff & send it too hard & happen to flip your whip you should be able to just walk away like nothing happened

Roomy, reliable and a fun drive. 5 speed clutch! Only 124,000 miles. Bought it used and have owned it for 8 years. Very trustworthy and FUN

Considering mine has over 248000 miles on it its over the top of any other car with the same milage. It gets almost 30mpg, the body is reasonable condition, the engine and transmission are strong. My but comes from my desire to have more acceleration power. Sooo I'm debating the purchase of a turbocharged crate engine which would take it from about 190hp up to 250hp. Just a thot.

Got the car for a fantastic price, it had some minor problems that were easy and quick to fix. I drove it on a back road newspaper route, and it drove nicely, the clearance was high enough that I didn't hit anything, and it handled well in the snow, and it took u-turns sharply, efficiently, and in minimal space. I also had enough room for the 300 newspapers on Sundays and a 106-pound dog in the back. If you drive a lot, always check your tires and oil, those can ruin a good car.

I am the 3rd owner. I have verified that head gaskets have not been replaced. Car was always serviced at Subaru dealer by both previous owners. This shows to me that if all scheduled maintenance is done the head gaskets will not fail pre-maturally.

Just bought this car recently, and I will tell you I don't regret it!!! Its great in the snow (AWD), fast and great on gas. Doesn't get better than this car.

A great little SUV that I can count on every day to get me where I need to go. Good mileage and low cost maintenance. It looks good, too.

It was my favorite vehicle...lots of room and very reliable especially in the snow. You NEVER slide in the snow or ice. Great for difficult road conditions.

This car is a great starter car. It drives very nice on the roads and I especially like the fact that is an all wheel drive.
