2001 Subaru Forester S review

Forester, dreams

I have owned all 5 gens, currently own an 01(SF), 07(SG), and a 20(SK). My favorite is my SG slowly becoming the SF. Since, they are all prone to similar issues. It is a little easier to own the same style of vehicle.

Magothy Motorcars review

I bought a 2005 Rav4 for my daughter at Magothy Motors.

I bought a 2005 Rav4 for my daughter at Magothy Motors. Luke was great; he realized a door panel was cracked as we were about to test drive. He had it fixed at no cost and held the vehicle for us until it was repaired with no down payment, just a handshake. We paid in full at point of sale and have been satisfied with the vehicle’s performance. Luke is a man of his word.

2001 Subaru Forester S review

Great vehicle for MN

It handles great in winter conditions. AWD is much better than regular 4wd for snow and slippery conditions. We love the heated seats. The design of the cruise control system is unlike any I've ever used before. A bit odd. I wouldn't design the controls that way.
