Description
The 1998 Subaru Forester S/TB represents one of the earliest turbocharged Forester models, combining compact SUV practicality with Subaru’s proven performance engineering. Finished in its original factory white, this example presents a clean and classic look, highlighted by its upright stance and functional design. With just 36k original miles and one-owner history in Japan, it stands out as an exceptionally well-preserved vehicle with strong paint condition and all-original body panels.
Power comes from Subaru’s turbocharged 2.0L EJ20 engine, delivering responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery across the rev range. Paired with an automatic transmission, it offers an easy and comfortable driving experience while still maintaining the performance characteristics that define Subaru’s turbo lineup. The engine’s reliability and proven track record make it a strong choice for both daily driving and long-term ownership.
Equipped with Subaru’s full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, the Forester S/TB provides excellent traction and stability in a wide range of driving conditions. The platform is known for its balanced handling, combining the visibility and practicality of an SUV with the road manners of a wagon. Whether driving through city streets or highway cruising, the vehicle remains composed and confidence-inspiring.
Inside, the cabin remains clean and functional, reflecting its low mileage and careful ownership. Factory features include air conditioning, power steering, power windows, airbags, and roof rails. The interior layout is straightforward, offering comfortable seating and useful cargo space.
This 1998 Forester S/TB stands out as a rare low-mileage, one-owner example in original condition. With its turbocharged engine, AWD system, and clean presentation, it represents a strong opportunity to own a well-preserved early Subaru Forester from the golden era of JDM imports.
