Miles Overview
The 2002 Forester is Subaru's compact SUV, built to handle snow and dirt roads without driving like a truck. It corners flat and feels planted in rain or gravel, though the trade-off is a firmer ride around town. The cabin is simple and practical, with a big sunroof and a cargo area that swallows bikes and gear with the seats folded. Owners report that head gaskets and wheel bearings are common wear items after higher mileage, but the engine itself is known to last. The L is the base trim, so you skip the fog lights and roof rails of the higher trims but still get the same rugged drivetrain and comfortable seats. The 2.5L paired with the five-speed automatic and all-wheel drive gives the L predictable power and good traction in snow or mud, though the transmission shifts leisurely under hard throttle. The L's suspension is tuned for a slightly softer ride than the sportier models, making it a smoother daily driver on bumpy roads.
