Used 2001 Subaru Forester S

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The drivetrain is generally robust, but this generation is notorious for head gasket failures which can be a catastrophic and expensive issue if not addressed.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Standard parts are affordable and the engine bay is accessible, but the requirement for matching tires and complex AWD repairs increases long-term ownership costs.
• Technology (2)
  2 out of 5 stars
  Typical for the era, it features basic amenities like a multi-disc CD player and cruise control, but lacks any advanced driver aids or sophisticated infotainment.
• Comfort (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  While the upright seating and large windows offer excellent visibility and headroom, the cabin suffers from significant wind noise and firm, basic seating.
• Dynamics (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The low center of gravity from the boxer engine and standard Symmetrical AWD provide car-like handling and exceptional grip that outperformed most contemporary SUVs.
