1999 Subaru Forester S review from North America
"By far the best bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 sensor at 120k.
Original clutch.
Burns oil like crazy, but passes inspections.
Nothing else replaced.
General comments?
Excellent for the $$. Bought used for 12k in 2002 off eBay. Ultimate in traction and safety for 1999. It goes anywhere my Tundra will. Great beach car with the kids.
