Subaru Forester - 2002 Review

This is a great car and I am so glad I purchased it.  It has every thing I would want and has a few little extras that are always nice to have.  The sunroof is one of my favorite things about the car.  It is oversized and lets in plenty of light and I always get comments on it from people when they are riding in the car.

There are a few negatives I have found though.  First of all because the sunroof is so huge it is specially made and therefore the motor parts can only come from a dealership and therefore is really expensive to replace.  I found this out the hard way.  The timing belt must also be replace around the 100 thousand mile mark and can be expensive as well.  However, if this is the largest expense on the car I am willing to put up with it.  Especially since these types of cars are supposed to have very long lifes. 

The back seat is another issue I have found to be a problem.  I am a person with very long legs and so when I put the drivers side seat to the position that is comforatable for me to drive, it does not leave much room for the people in the back seat and they end up with their legs a bit squished.
