    Forester vs CR-V

    Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Forester Subaru Forester Advice Subaru Forester 2000 Honda Honda Advice Honda CR-V Honda CR-V Advice Honda CR-V 2000

    I AM looking at buying a 2000 Subaru Forester GT or CR-V Sports. Do you suggest one over the other? What are some of the tell-tale signs that indicate vehicles such as these have spent too much time off-road?

    THERE really isn't much to separate these two -- they're the class acts in the compact all-wheel-drive category. The CR-V offers a little more interior room, and it's a more flexible interior set-up as well, but the Forester is a little better equipped, with four-wheel disc brakes and cruise control. Both will perform well around town and have limited ability to go bush, but I'm assuming you won't be doing any heavy-duty bush bashing anyway. Look underneath for battle scars, scrapes and bumps on suspension parts, underbody and other bits and pieces of exposed hardware. It's also hard to get sand and dust out of cars, so look for evidence of dust build-up in door openings, under carpets and elsewhere.
