2003 Subaru Forester XS review from North America
"Good car, but it is no SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Works well, but not as comfortable as the 4Runner. Just not a fun car.
Sunroof leaks on occasion if not sealed well.
General comments?
Good car, but this is not an SUV. I got it because I thought it would be a good compromise between a sedan and a truck... I prefer the truck, but I get 22 / 27 City highway MPG, which is pretty good for the size.
