Wanted - Subaru Forester STI
Hello! I've currently got an Audi A3 (2.0t, quattro, lightly chipped), i'm discovering i need a bit more space (kids, bless em), so i'm looking at 2nd gen Scooby Foresters. The going rate seems to be about 10k for a nice one, is that about right? Let me know!!

I have had one so I do know. My choice for the extra space would be a BL/BP Legacy Spec B GT JDM as I had one of them too.

Prodrift UK have a few fresh import SG9 Foggy's at £8995. Similarly Torque GT have them in on a regular basis. The space is not that great and will probably be about the same as the A3.

Thanks The Trooper, it's not just the space (though one us site claims 20 cubic feet for the a3 vs 30 for the Forester) in the boot but the raised ride height and site lines for my little girl who suffers from car sickness. I'd prefer the Legacy but it's a fairly low car.

Octavia Scout plus remap ?
Raised ground clearance, huge boot, decent economy. Well equipped if you're prepared to search for the right one. 2.0TDI or the later 1.8T which remaps just as well as the 2.0T in yours. Same Haldex 4x4 as the A3
Just a thought. Driven a few.
This sort of thing (this doesn't have nav or alcantara which are available) ?

New Era has a lovely looking STI but its a bit pricey and i don't know if i'm patient enough!! 2006 sti
The later models also incur the higher RFL bracket but if you are worried about it then a Subaru is not for you.

The RFL is not the problem, more that it's close to 2.5 k more than even Litchfield prepared uk cars.

The gearing being longer is a myth, the gearing is the same as a 2.5 hawkeye.
I miss mine
