2000 Subaru Forester S review from North America
"Don't buy it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the car to the repair shop 3 times in a month. Both oxygen sensors have gone out & the catalytic converter had to be replaced. The dealership has been unhelpful and the car is not reliable. I would definitely not recommend buying a forester.
General comments?
Not a recommended car. It's not reliable. The gas mileage is poor and it doesn't handle as well in the snow as it should.
