UK Forester Information

[Steve Almond]

I know that a 'new' Forester was released in the UK in the past year.
Regarding the previous model, was there an update (facelift?), around the
year 2000? I notice some of the price guides split the models years around
there.
Pre-2000 called GLS and post-2000 called AWD.
Can anyone confirm this and explain the differences? Or point me to a site
where the differences are explained?

Thanks,

Steve

There was a facelift for 2000: different headlamps/grille, the tail lamps
expanded onto the tailgate, antidive added to front suspension are the main
differences. Current subaru uk website www.subaru.co.uk shows pictures of
post 2000 and current 2003 model if you select 'accessories'.
