2004 Subaru Forester LX review from North America
"Well-built and a pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, but I have only 4200 miles on it.
General comments?
The car is peppy and responsive.
It has great accident avoidance abilities.
The suspension is rock-solid and tough as nails. I drove it over a curve at 25 MPH and hardly noticed it.
The headroom is phenomenal.
The availability and use of space is generally good.
Leg room for the driver is restricted and driver's seat comfort is marginal.
Fuel economy at 22-24 in my town and country driving situation is less than I would expect for a 4 cylinder.
