1999 Subaru Forester review from North America
"It's a great car, will buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am the second owner of this Forester. I had both rear axle bearings replaced soon after purchasing the car, had to have a seal replaced in the the air conditioning unit.
I make frequent long trips in my Forester and am very happy with it, it is comfortable and gets good MPG.
I have owned 5 Subaru's, my daughter has a 96 Outback with 225.000 on it, it has been trouble free.
I will stick with Subaru.
General comments?
Fantastic in the snow, love that all wheel drive,
