My '99 Forester has one. It just falls out on it's own once in awhile. The ashtray has about $20 in ones and change in it for emergencies. It paid off at a Burger King drive-thru when they wouldn't take my hundred dollar bill (it's all I had on me), and I just handed the ashtray through the window and told them "take what you need". They thought it was pretty funny, but it worked.My '98 Forester has an ashtray, though at the moment I'm drawing a blank on whether or not it has a lighter.
