1999 Subaru Forester L review from North America
"It makes sense"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car eats tires. The all wheel drive may be the suspect. I'm not a hard driver and there is absolutely nothing defective about the alignment, still, the car devours the treadson tires faster than any car I've previously owned.
General comments?
Overall, I think the car is great for harsh weather. Its all wheel drive system isn't at all intimidated by snow or slippery road conditions.
The interior comfort leave much to be desired, but after a while you tend to get used to it.
This car offers as much as a larger SUV with the convenience of better gas mileage.
