New Car Test Drive (2001)
Subaru's Forester is not a sport-utility vehicle in the traditional sense, though it provides cargo utility and off-highway capability. It drives more like a car than a truck. Popular Mechanics (2001)
For 2001, the Forester adds a standard six-disc, in-dash CD changer, a digital ambient temperature gauge and a new dual-mode digital trip meter. The standard day/night mirror now comes prewired for the optional electronic compass.
The Car Place (2001)
The back seat is seriously short of knee-room for adults if the front seats are extended to their full length. Headroom, however, is wonderful. Automobile Reviews (2000)
It has a reliable full time all wheel drive system, which is better on the road than most four wheel drive systems. The Forester is not really designed for offroad use. Epinions (2000)

Subaru traditionally finds niches and fills them. The niche filled by the Forester is the gap between small station wagons and sport utilities. The Auto Channel (2000)
The Forester looks like and rides like an upright, compact station wagon. Auto Revista (1999)
Contrary to its size, the Forester has more than ample cargo-room, afforded by its higher roof and lower step-in height. Epinions (1999)

Off-highway capability with sports sedan performance. The Auto Channel (1999)
With its tall cabin, most drivers have a great view of the road. The seating position is low and headroom is ample, but our taller test drivers found front legroom a bit scarce, especially with passengers riding in the rear seat. Chicago Sun Times (1998)
Forester rivals are the carlike Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V sport/utes. But the Forester looks more like the small, upright 1980s Dodge/Plymouth Colt Vista, Nissan Stanza and Honda Civic four-wheel-drive wagons, which were ahead of their time because few then cared about small sport/ute-style vehicles. Epinions (1998)

It's built on the compact Impreza chassis, but uses the same engine as the Legacy Outback. The Outback, a jacked-up Legacy wagon, was Subaru's stopgap answer to the SUV revolution. The Auto Channel (1998)
The fuel consumption was an outstanding 28 miles per gallon.
