Forester 2.5XT
 
I saw this has been recently launched and seems to fit most of my requirements, i.e. resonable performance, lots of space and some off-road capabilities (driving down to the lake where I go scuba diving)

Has ayone managed to try one of these out yet and what are they like to drive?

My local dealer should have a demo in stock soon but I'd like to find out any first impressions from people in the forum.

cheers

Both the Aussies and Americans seem to like the 2.5 a lot.

Hi,
I have taken one for a test drive today and was impressed. very torquey. Handled well as well. Much better than the S Turbo.
0-60 in 6 seconds is nor bad at all.
Ideal as a fun load lugger with attitude.
It easily hit the 100 in a short space.
Top motor.
Hope this helps
Jt

Thanks, we're going for either the JDM STi or the UK 2.5 XT to run along with the WR1. We just haven't decided which one to go for.:confused:

Can anyone scan or otherwise post the review of the 2.5 XT from this months EVO?

I'm outside the UK and can't find a copy.

Cheers,
