1999 Subaru Forester S review from North America
"Great handling SUV handle better than some cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking spark plug tube seals/valve cover seals...replaced spark plugs and wires, valve cover gasket, and tubes for the spark plugs. Glove compartment lock can' be unlock after I locked it, had to break it an replaced the latch.
General comments?
Greatest handling car I ever had, but not too good on gas though. Overall great car and will buy another one I mean a newer model.
