We have had a 2001 Forrester since new. It has been the family car through the teenage years and has come through the experience in remarkably good shape. We have found it an excellent, robust all round vehicle. I have ensured it is properly serviced and it has been totally reliable with no major work required.
It has just ticked over 200,000 klms. The engine feels nicely "run in" now. There are no oil leaks or other signs of aging anywhere in the car. As others have said, look for one with a fully documented service history. Not sure about others comments re oil and filter service every 5,000 klm. The Subaru service interval for the Forrester is 12,500 klms, which I have stuck to.

Cheers

Steve.
