What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the 2003 Subaru Forester

2003 Subaru Forester Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 2.5L I4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Fuel economy is hit or miss. I've seen anywhere from 14-20 in the city with no discernable difference in driving habits. On the highway I've seen anywhere from 19-26. Once again, with no discernable difference in driving style, speed, or weather. There is just no predictability. see full Subaru Forester review
2004 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 2.5L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Takes a lot of fuel and also require Super. Youve got to pay to play. see full Subaru Forester review
2003 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 21mpg is about all you can expect. AWD is partially to blame, as is the relatively inefficient boxer engine. see full Subaru Forester review
2002 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD		 Inexcusable for a vehicle with so little room and luxury. see full Subaru Forester review
