Subaru Forester (97-03) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Launched in the UK a month before the Land Rover Freelander, the Forester was showing the way forward when it came to combining on and off road ability and agility. Although the Forester is more conventionally styled it has as much ground clearance as a Freelander and a proper low-range gearbox on non-turbo models. Certainly worth considering for part time off roaders.

Buying used

Certainly worth considering for part time off roaders. You can’t help comparing the Forester with a Freelander and in sheer style terms there's not much in it.

Although the Forester is more conventionally styled it runs the Freelander close and returns creditable fuel economy.
