Subaru Foresters, what do you guys think?

[Fidhle007]

I'd probably go with a roof rack, I have a slew of thule and yakima bike stuff around here that I could use. I honestly just can't justify putting a roof rack on my e30 though because it ruins the look. I used to be able to fit my RM6 w/ Super T fork in my Volvo 240 too. It's just a thought for now, I wanted to see what you guys though of them.

haha, shut the fuck up dumbass. really.

impressive, your powers of debate are peerless;)

p.s. previous post was meant mostly as a joke. if i offended anyone then....i cant do it....if you're offended i honestly dont care:D

Relax man, it's all good. Just do your research first, the hippies are all about Crocs now, I'm serious! ;)

I'm still toying with the idea of getting something for winter driving/hauling my DH bike/going places I'd rather not take my e30 and I've noticed a few Foresters for sale near me at what seems to be reasonable prices. What do you guys think of them and how is their longevity? Most of the ones I would actually by able to justify affording have well over 100k, which doesn't scare me on BMWs or Volvos, but it does one anything else...

I have one and give you a huge thumbs up, it's an imprezza minus a
turbo and with a higher roof. I just finished (earlier this year) an STi
swap on my Forester, 320awhp after a new clutch (Exedy S2) and
uncorked the ECU. It's fast, it's fun, and cops don't give me a second
look.

Don't worry about miles, Boxer engines own. Depending on the year
try changing out your head gaskets, old (MY98/99) have gaskets
that aren't up to par, anything around 125k should be immediatly
taken care of, good or not. Switch your fluids to full synthetic (trust
me) and you'll have a bitchin car. Remember, since anything on an
impreza will directly bolt up to your car have fun, I just put a WRX
dash in mine, look sweet. If you have any questions hit me up.

subarus are extremely bad. in more ways than one.

NOTE: Unless it is an STi

Your an idiot.

My girlfriends parents have an 05 Forester and it really is a pretty sweet car. They have an auto though so that was a major downer.

Realistically, the auto's in subes are safer than the manuels, subes
weakest link is the "class clutch" syndrome. If you get a Subie, get
an Exedy (or greater) clutch. My friends STi is on his 4th clutch so
far.

i love me some GT Foz.

did yiu guys get the GTs in the states? It doesn't sound like it.

[kidrobot]

Unfortunetly, the only turbo Foz we got out here was the newer 2.5XT
Speakin of which, wanna send me a new GT hood? *nudge

I had to drill my stock hood and the fit is terrible. I need one for the
MY98 w/ EJ25 its a serious turbo explosive issue since im top mount
not front. Think your years are MY97/8 ST/b

Buddy of mine wore out his clutch fast so he bought like a full out racing clutch for his mostly stock street car and blew 7 transmissions. XD
