The Subaru Forester is a compact crossover SUV that was first introduced in 1997. The 1999-2002 model years represent the first generation of the Forester, a significant departure from Subaru's traditional station wagon and hatchback offerings. This generation was built on the Subaru Impreza platform, boasting a rugged and capable design that would become synonymous with the Forester nameplate. This first generation Forester featured a unique design with a boxy and practical shape, offering ample cargo space and a high driving position. Power was provided by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, generating either 155 or 165 horsepower depending on the year model. This engine was available with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, driving all four wheels via Subaru's renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. Despite its compact size, the Forester was surprisingly capable off-road, thanks to its high ground clearance, robust suspension, and standard AWD. This versatility, combined with its practicality and fuel efficiency, quickly made the Forester a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a vehicle that could handle a wide range of situations. The 1999-2002 Forester was praised for its reliability, durability, and spacious interior, along with its respectable fuel economy and strong off-road capabilities. However, it lacked some of the modern amenities and safety features found in newer vehicles, and its ride could be harsh on rough roads. A comprehensive service repair manual is a valuable resource for owners of this generation Forester, providing detailed instructions for maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting, ensuring their vehicle remains reliable and dependable for years to come.
