1999 Subaru Forester review from North America
"You'll be paying through your nose for Subaru 'image'"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sucking up coolant.
Sludge in reservoir.
Sweet smell coming from air conditioner.
Knocking noises.
Engine light always on.
Head gasket replacement $$$$
General comments?
I deeply regret that I didn't get the Honda as planned.
