2004 Subaru Forester XS review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car is very reliable and the handling is quite good.
However, the paintwork is below average and very prone to scratching. Seats are uncomfortable and bumpers are quite weak. This is the reason why I'll considering Honda or Toyota next time. Seeing new scratches every now and then is very annoying.
My Forester is quite good, but sorry Subaru I think the new CR-V and RAV-6 are better now!
Recommended Reviews:
  | Poor warranty service on a low quality car |
 | 2003 - Forester 2.0XT 2.0 turbo I'd buy one again, if they improved rear seat space and a more frugal engine |
