Year to Year Changes
1999 Subaru Forester:
Revisions intended to quiet the Forester's engine also added four pound-feet of torque. Transmissions were revised in an attempt to provide smoother, quicker shifts. New interior fabrics and colors were offered. Power side mirrors became standard on L models. Foresters also gained structural modifications intended to improve crashworthiness. Base-model Foresters could no longer get the optional leather upholstery and remote keyless entry system.
2000 Subaru Forester:
Subaru trimmed the Forester lineup for 2000, dropping the base-trimmed model. That left L and upscale S editions on sale. The Forester L gained standard cruise control, while the S added a standard limited-slip differential.
2001 Subaru Forester:
Forester got a minor facelift including a new chrome grille, reshaped headlights, and revised bumper and taillights for 2001.
2002 Subaru Forester:
Forester got a standard retractable cargo-area cover and two new option packages for '02. Replacing last year's S Premium model was the OV Premium Package option. It added front side airbags, sunroof, and unique alloy wheels to the S. The new OK Package included the OV equipment plus leather upholstery.
