Subaru Forester (2002 - 2008) 2.5 XT 5d (05) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
It's got a plasticky interior, lousy radio, no connectivity and it's pig ugly. Obscene in fact. However, it's a decent size estate with a throaty burbling motor that is way, way quicker than its any right to be, and with proper 4WD there's many a surprised look from STI drivers who got stuffed at the lights. Including depreciation it'll cost you £200 a month plus fuel and stuff. If you can buy cheaper performance please do.
How reliable do you find the car?
Nothing too dramatic however spares are becoming either difficult or expensive or both. I had to get a window from Japan, a windscreen took 6 weeks and I still can't find a fog lamp. Bulb changing is a drama. Front bumper off for headlamp. Front splitter off for fog lamp.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
I have the PPP fitted. 20mph to way over the legal limit is just a wave of torque. Hills make no difference. It's surprisingly quick. You need to get some weight on the brakes but they do work.About their car
