STM Foresters ???

Rally Fluffer
I was just wondering how many are on here and what you have done with them, story's, mishaps, mods, fun. Also is everyone as pleased as I am with mine or am I just a bit weird?

I also love the fact that people don't look twice at me unlike the STI :

I traded in my 07 Impreza wagon for the New 08 X Premium 5MT Forester. It is a perfect blend of my07 Wagon and My 02 Forester. Could have got the turbo but I can't keep myself out of trouble with a N/A engine.

 
my g/f drives a box stock 00 Forester. Blew a head gasket a while back, no probs since. 160k, still going strong. ;D

Randy's Forester is a good example of why used Foresters have such high resale.

35 mile commute on wicked rough 2-lane roads...wonder why it's ready for struts?!!

Actually, it's NOT box stock...we put a Last Ditch Racing sticker on the side window, good for probly 25 whp minimum.

 
My mother has had a 98, 02, and current 04. Putting 40K per year on the 98 and 02. And the 04 not so much as she is retired now. The rents plan to keep the 04 till infinity. They have had nothing but great service and reliability with them.

 
Bought my 03 Forester XS new. Been lovin' it ever since. Low mileage beauty... just rolled over 62k

when you go to replace your endlinks, check out the poltecs. I think the spherical bearings in the Perrin/Kartboy/etc get too crudded up in this lovely climate we live in. My perrins are quite crusty and it makes me wonder how well they actually work.

 
soooo we have 3.5 toaster owners talk about a minority
