Took my Impreza in for its MOT and to have winter tyres fitted yesterday and was given a Forrester XT 2.5 Turbo as a courtesy car for the day, I ended up leaving my car at the dealers and keeping the forrester over night and will take it back this evening, has anyone else driven one of these Forresters and if so what is the general opinion on it? is it worth €34k

Generally I liked it but personally found it underpowered and the suspension was to wollowy and the stearing was to light other than that the leather interior, sat nav, cruise control and all the other toys that came with it were pretty cool.

 

1.It's Forester

the 2.5 *SO* needs a bigger turbo.

Suspension/Handling is a product of the clearance / fat nasty tyres / weedy arb etc etc - just like every other forester. Easily sorted.

And its not meant to do the things an impreza does

 

You could always import a Forester STi

 

Unfortunately not to Germany as it will need to be LHD and the German authorities are all Ar5eholes anywy and it probably wouldn't pss the regulations here.
