2000 Subaru Forester S review from North America
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went at 58,000 miles.
Head gasket is leaking coolant at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
The Forester has a good feel, drives well and we like it a lot; however was very disappointed in the performance the last year with the transmission having to be rebuilt and the Head Gasket leaking coolant.
