2004 Subaru Forester XS review from North America
"Buyer beware"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right rear wheel bearing went out at 35K miles and now at 68K miles it is going out again. Seems to be a problem with the Forrester that Subaru will not back up.
General comments?
Acceleration is weak and rides loud.
