Bargain alert! The 2001-2005 Subaru Forester is the least expensive used car on our list -- nearly $2,000 less than the next least expensive. The 3.5 reliability rating isn't anything to brag about, but the fuel economy is decent and this is the only vehicle in the bunch that comes with all-wheel drive (AWD) standard. The added performance and safety the AWD adds is well worth adding the Subaru Forester to your consideration list.
