2002 Subaru Forester Usados en Venta

I bought this car because it sits up high, came in standard, and has a full sized spare tire. I was replacing a 1987 Volvo 240 wagon, which was basically a glass box. Not sexy, but very good visibility. This car was the closest I could come to that, and I got AWD. This is not a pretty car, but it has been fairly reliable. I believe I have replaced every sensor that came with the vehicle, but it has been down more than two days only once. I really like the AWD, it has gotten me home, up my hill, through poorly plowed roads more than once.

My vehicle is very comfortable, the seats are nice, and it has a lot of options for moving them. The dashboard is at a good level which makes it easy to see out of. The car also has a lot of places for storage that a lot of other cars don't have which is nice because I go on a lot of long trips in it. It also gets very good gas mileage for an older car which is fantastic. So when I am driving around town, I don't have to fill up very often. It also has over 150,00 miles on it, and I have not had to preform any expensive maintenance work yet which is great. Because it is an older car means the radio console stuff isn't quite up to date which I do not love but is alright. One of the other things I'm not too fond of is that the car is not super sound proof, so I can hear stuff that is happening outside of the car. It also has had some problems with the air conditioning.

Subaru built on heck of a machine with this model Forester. 2.5L flat four with a five-speed manual trans powering all four wheels through the best all-wheel drive system on the road. This thing goes through anything! We get a lot of snow and ice in our state, and the Forester has never once been stuck or stranded me. Now rolling over 200,000 miles, the reliability has remained with little to no maintenance. Now when it comes to the comfort features and interior trims, well it matches the drivetrain, rugged. Little rattles here and there, broken plastic latches and clips on dash storage doors, heavy wear patterns on carpets and seats. The wind noise from factory installed roof racks in obnoxious at highway speeds, and the basic AM/FM radio is not enough to drown it out. The half doors, having no upper window support, tend to leak at speed also. With the rear seats folded down, this thing is as big as a pick up truck bed, and that's why I don't mind the "cheap" feel to the inside of the vehicle because I do not feel bad using it like a pick up truck as well. Overall, I love the Subaru, but it only has its niche in one part of my garage and that's utility.
