2000 Subaru Forester L review from North America
"Reliable, sound quality machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light has been on since 50k miles.
Ignition wires and plugs replaced at 90k.
Clutch replaced at 120k.
It currently runs poorly; at low speeds it bucks and surges horribly, and my local wrench has been unable to diagnose the problem. I need help with a diagnosis.
General comments?
Until the recent problems it has been a great automobile.
