Get yourself down to Litchos as they always have a demo available (not sure if will be a stocker or one with the powerstation AST's/whiteline suspension setup and the 330 kit).
This was was David Hendry supplied via Litchos, its on an 06 plate. But the prefacelift ones (equivalent to blob impreza) can be had for a lot cheaper.
If your ever in my neck of the woods (hampshire) happy to take you for a spin.

Looks great
I've never fancied the wagon and have always driven Impreza saloons but the Forester really is something else. Your new car really does look so good and it is like nothing nothing else on the road - Range Rover Sports, Audi's, Cayanne's, they do not compare. I'm sure you are well chuffed and enjoy money well spent.

Sorry, but I really don't get these cars. If Frankenstien made a car instead of a person, this would be the result. It just looks odd... a rally people carrier?
But... that's just my opinion of course and if you are happy with it then jobs a goodun

The looks you get are amazing. yes Joe public doesnt have a clue and thinks its some mum bus or dad wagon dressed, I was on the M4 today coming back form bristol after dropping wagon off and we had to adjust the attitude of 2 porsches, an RS4, TVR and a cayenne I don think the TVR owner was best amused to see me fill his rear view mirror no matter how he tried to shake me, I was was just there looming in his tailgate
The RS4 pulled over gave me a wave and that knowing nod that said 'What the **** you got in that fella'
So yes, it has great Kudos factor and people just dont get it, which is fine, it would be a borinng world if we all liked the same thing and lived in our jelly molds.

Looks great.
I have two dogs too so forester was only option for me too. Unfortunately my budget couldn't stretch to a STI (although i'd love one) so have to make do with a 2.0 xt Running a bit more boost so even mine sticks with my mates 02 WRX! Working on making it go round corners before i make it any quicker.
Once again, nice motor!

Your starting to fall into the trap of starting to explain this car. Just say to people, if you don't understand it, then you just don't know. I have been a typical 2001 Bugeye WRX owner with all the kit but I respect other cars. It really must have been great on the M4. As they say, "If Richard Burns bred dogs, this is the car [Forester] he would have". Smiles - have a look at the featured members car below - we really are only starting to understand the Forester.

Forester Sti, one car I have not seen on the road yet which is weird. Which is one reason I have thought of owning one
Smilies, you have a very nice car mate

We just got back in from the Surrey Scoobs 'Fairmile' meet.
Its not fair, I cant see if I'm spitting flames ..I'll have to set up a flame cam
Sticker is going but I have a good idea for one:
"...Fear No Impreza"
Only kidding Guys
*...Fear No Evo"

In hindsight the sti wagon was a mistake, bought in haste and I had plenty of time repenting at my leisure
We have now rectified that and this is withiut doubt the best car we have ever owned.. period!
We are Never selling this car, unless to buy the new forester in 09/10, if they dont **** it up by letting the Subaru styiing monkeys loose on it

I must agree this forester is nice and especially in the colour you have it with them wheels. Looks very mean
