Foresters

[unite@af]

I really dont like the looks of the Forester. Its not a real class of car almost... part station wagon part suv... Its in a identity crisis. That might make it cool to some but not to me!!!

[enzo@af]

Agreed. It's too small and misshapen to be an SUV, but it's a little too big to be a wagon.

I think my boss has one. It's green, but not new. It doesn't look ugly, but I'd rather drive my car. Looks more sportier. Ig you can do that in a Kia.

Doesn't the Forester have that self-lowering suspension? First displayed by Subaru in the XT6

Rumor goes that an AMC Concorde Wagon humped a Toyota Echo and the Subaru Forrester came out...

Doesn't sound too absurd.

I actually like the Forester quite a lot. It drives nicely, is good for hauling loads (the suspension holds its own and does not drop under the weight of moderate loading, nor does its handling suffer because of a moderate load).

While it's not my bag baby, I have to give respect to its solid engineering and good execution. It is very competitive in its class.

I dont question the quality of the cars construction. My family has had 3 subarus so far. Great Cars... I dont like the odd look of the forester

My wife drives one and loves it. It's a mellow little car that seems quite grand if you've been accustomed to driving a 1983 Toyota Tercel.

The Forester is too low to be an SUV, the styling is not good enough to be a Subaru. I haven´t seen any Forester in USA so far, but a lot of Honda CR-Vs and Nissan X-Terra. I think it´s for a makeover for 2003.

i own a foresta gt , these suv have BALLS they pretty damm good too.
its just a wrx but deturned..they have a tdo4 turbo which is quite small
not much power , but if u replace it with something like a vf22,23 turbo it'll fly 4 ya! :flash:

My friend has a Forester (2001 model) and I don't really like it that much.. The exterior styling is boxy and dated, and the interior is tacky and boring, looking like a interior from 1990.. And like some other said, in an identity crisis. Not really a SUV, not really a stationwagon.. but its not to big to be a stationwagon.. My Saab 9000 is actually 9-10cm longer (!) I think... Not too much space in the back seats either..

Hi All!
Well.... I have over 6,000 miles on my xt...well broken in, and starting to mod. It's a blast do drive. We even did a (almost) cross country trip in it, and it performed very well and was very comfortable. The looks have grown on me, and I find it to perform better every day I drive it. Body roll really is not too much of an issue, but the tires will defiantly have to go. Maybe next spring....
Anyways, if you all have not seen the times for the 04 XT, here go.

Quite a bit faster than the WRX... (don't get me wrong....I love the rex. It WILL be my next car ). There seems to be a lot of miss info going around about the XT.
It is built on the WRX chassis, has the 2.5 STI engine that is de-tuned. Stuff like that.
Check out http://www.nasioc.com and http://www.subaruforester.com for all that info.

I have a forester and I love how it take the curves and its u-turns are also great.
I have a question, if anybody can help; what should I target to replace when the malfunction code P0483-Cooling Fan Rationality Check Malfunction is on.
any help will be appreciated.

howdy all. don't mean to but in but, my wifes cousin's family are huge subaru fans. 2 wrx's, a gt and 2 XT's. i wanted to know the feedback from some others before i look at buying one too so i came looking over here.

they reckon that the XT's are better than the wrx until higher speeds but will eat most things on the road. i ride a CBR954 so speed isn't an issue for me but i like the functionality of the wagon/suv style as a family wagon come sport car.
