For long trips, that's what we do. The crate fits between the 2 kids in the 2nd row, so the dog can even watch the movie.

Juice, how about a cat-carrier! Since your dog wants to be a cat anyway!

2002 Forester - Good Bye! by chicagoish

The short version. Had a 2000 and got a 2002 via LEMON LAW (check engine light always on and ran BAD.) I just traded in the replacement 2002 for a Honda.
 
Only 50K on the 2002 Forester and a Wheel Bearing went, I had to replace an 02 Sensor also, and now (at 56K) the Clutch went. I was not gonna spend the $1200+ for a new clutch just two months after spending $400+ on a wheel bearing.
 
I'm done with Subaru. I know others are happy, I guess I'm just unlucky..

Sorry to hear that.
 
They did change the wheel bearing design on the 2003 and later models. They moved to the sturdier design from the Legacy.
 
To me an 02 sensor is a wear part. Bosch says they should be changed every 30k miles, though they sell them so I'm sure they have an interest in recommending short intervals for those.
 
Good luck with the Honda, hopefully you'll have better luck.

The wheel bearing and clutch weren't covered by the drivetrain warranty?
 
I've got 66k on my Forester and hopefully the clutch will last at least double that.

Frank you will be due for a clutch around 80-100k miles. 100k is the average of when they start going, or at least customers start asking for it around there

Wheel bearings should be, but clutch, no. That's usually wear and tear.
