2003 Subaru Forester Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

This car is the most reliable car I have ever been in. It is getting older in age but the quality is still great. I have put over 260,000 miles and still runs perfect. The inside is not too big or too small. I have two kids and they fit in the back seat comfortably.

This is the fifth Subaru I've owned. It's a perfect vehicle for my family. All have been wagons and manual transmission. I love the space. The hatch back allows ample storage for all our summer needs. I keep several bags, so we can jump in our car and head out for an adventure. Swimming, fishing, hiking or having a light picnic. Interior space is great having both leg space and elbow room with 5 passengers. The all wheel drive had kept us safe thru snowy Winters and rough forgotten back roads. Reliable engine and decent gas mileage, I won't own any other vehicle

The long term build of this vehicle is amazing, these cars last for over 15 years. The gas mileage is great, and I love the fact that my car can handle any type of rugged terrain. I also love the storage space that my car has, because I can fit all of my large purchases.

The car Runs great and it gets good gas mileage as well. The brand does have a known issue with the o2 sensor going bad due to the location on the bottom of the undercarriage causing a check engine light and requiring a repair before it would pass my states emissions testing protocols.

I really enjoy this car. It handles amazing in the snow. The symmetrical all wheel drive really helps stay on the road in snowy conditions. The only downside of this car is that it uses a lot of oil. I have to top it off about every other time I fill up.

I love my car, I love everything about it. . The size is just right it has 4 doors which is great and I love and it's all wheel drive. . . Goes great in the winter time. . Use it first before the blazer that we have also. . . Gas mileage is not all that bad either. We bought this used back in 2011 I think it was and has been great all of this time. . . The only thing I do not like about it is the engine light is on. The last Subaru we had did the same thing worried about it all the time was often told not too but we ended up having to have engine trouble so got rid of it. . . Now this one is lite and it has been quite a while showing the engine light but we haven't done a thing to it to get it to go out beings we had that trouble with the last car. It's still running good and its 15 years old. .

It runs very good. I only have to fill the tank about every two weeks and it cost me about 25.00 every two weeks to run. The ac will freeze you out during the summer and the heater will burn you out during the winter months. It only holds 18 gallons of gas

Great car for being sixteen years old. Green/gold. 4 door. Power windows. Power mirror. Am/FM. CD player. Cassette player. Lumbar spine support in driver seat. Hatchback w/ spacious rear great to work out of, carrying lots of groceries, or luggage for family vacation. Rear seats fold down for additional space. Compared to more modern vehicles gas mileage is below average.
