1998 Subaru Forester S review from North America
"OK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am not sure yet..
Park lights stay on after the car is shut off.
Clank of the engine after it goes out of first.
Soft brakes.
No extras that I am used to in a car in general.
I am scared to know, but have heard good things about the Subaru and wanted this one to be as good as others I have heard...
General comments?
I love the look of the car, but am at a cross-roads to whether to keep this car today and go on, or I took in the car to the dealership to have these problems looked at, since I only bought it yesterday, and the car they gave me to test drive is a Infiniti I30 T 2000 year model..
I have a dilemma, which one should I go for.. I have the loyalty of the Subaru being well built and reliable.. but have heard less than fair reviews on the Infinti... what would you do?
