Thumbs up My New Practical Family Car.

After 8 years of Impreza's it was time for a change so I sold my beloved STI 5 Type R V-ltd. As my wife has a modded Cooper S which isn't very practical I needed something practical for camping/mountain biking ect BUT it had to also be fun

So I picked this up yeaterday from the nice man Mr Litchfield







Well this ticks all the boxes It's an MY 06 Forester STI with a 2 piece STI lipspoiler, AST sportline I coilovers and the Power Station performance pack which has the full 3" miltek exhaust with 100 cell sport cat, K&N panel filter and ECU tek re-map giving 330bhp@6000rpm & 330lb/ft @3400

She pulls like a train from lowdown and could drive all day in 6th gear as is so torquey. However knock it down a couple of gears and it really goes ! Plus it sounds the nuts and like a real scoob as no equal length headers.

Hope you like, cheers Col

Here's some interior pics for you miltski hope they are OK, not the best thing to photo.

Front seats as in the Spec C. Same as STI Impreza just black on black.





The back seats are black cloth with alcantara centres. Unlike the UK cars the base comes forward and the back reclines, nice for long trips ! One seat is done like that for you to see. Also seats are 60/40 folding.



Nice big boot with a 3rd 12v socket with back seats flat its a 6foot deck.

Cheers Col
