2003 Subaru Forester STX review from North America
"Excellent performance and reliability"
General comments?
We will have put 30,000 miles on the Forester in its first year. It has been very economical and reliable. Comfortable. A great car so far.
You get what you pay for. And this Forester is more expensive than comparable models from Honda or Toyota. That is the only drawback for me. I don't expect resale to be as high as the others - but am not planning on selling either.
We have changed the oil every 3,000 miles. That has been the only maintenance cost so far. Excellent.
