2004 Subaru Forester 2.5 X review

Insanely reliable.

November 17, 2024
By Brandon from Gulf Breeze, FL
Owns this car

Insanely reliable. Nothing needed to be replaced in the time I’ve had it, and its 20 years old! Currently at 146k miles. Hope to see my specific Forester reach up to the >250k miles mark like many others!
