1999 Subaru Forester S review from North America
"AWESOME!!! Wonderfully reliable, versatile auto!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Flow Sensor failed at about 90k - got a recall notice on the part just after I had to purchase the part - got back my money from Subaru. Only serious issue I have had with the engine.
General comments?
With the one exception of when I was dealing with the air flow sensor failing, I have had no issues with this vehicle and am planning to drive it until it hits 500k miles on the odometer - currently has 245k. I love the size, allows me to carry 2 large dogs in crates. I can hardly consider not driving it.
