 Subaru's Forester is a sensible SUV—sensibly sized, sensibly priced and sensibly equipped. There's no outlandish styling, no gimmicks and no intimidation factor for which many other SUVs seem to strive.Read Full Review More 2003 Forester ReviewsOther Forester ReviewsUser ReviewsThe community thinks...

Pros:
Dependable car around town that likes mountain roads, too. It's the soul of competence, but it has a little bit of an edge. Plus it can carry a ton of freight, when necessary, and you have the comfort of knowing it's safe. Drove it home from a pileup that left a Ford and a Chevy totaled -- I just needed some bodywork..
Cons:
Mine seems to be a good one -- problems in 90,000 miles have been relatively routine and minor. And I have an after-market mechanic who specializes in Subies -- seek one out if you can. Be aware that AWD burns up tires faster than 2WD, and there's a gas mileage penalty. Wish it had a six-speed. And the paint quality is mediocre.
Overall review:
Great choice for those who are forced to be practical but who want to be ready when a backroad beckons.
