Default Hawk to forester...

I'm going to put my hawk up for sale and get a forester sti.

I don't think I want one that's already in the UK But does anyone know how much they cost imported with around 70,000 miles.

Trying to get all of mine and my sons fishing gear in the impreza isn't going to happen so I need bigger.
It sucks after all of the work but it is what it is.

IMO one of Subaru's best kept secrets, albeit they get more popular by the day.................

biggest issue I have is too many vehicles and not enough space so unfortunately might let mine go but certainly one of the best all round vehicles I have owned

i totally agree on above , i’ve had a number of different scoobies and have always preferred and therefore bought the Fsti , to the point i have three now 👍😂 ulez compliant , quick , no lag , very carefully driven 36 mpg , big boot , fun to drive , pretty cheap to run , car tax is half the price of a uk forester , insurance cheaper , and reliable only weakness is the engine , the engine often being more reliable than the sti version as it’s a slightly different engine running less boost . My other cars all have there plus sides , power wise 440 bhp v8 , 500 bhp v8 , both of them very loud 😂, and a 600 bhp v6 mental fast 😂 they are good at what they do , but don’t do every thing , ie not a big boot , not as nimble vision out of the car , carrying 5 people not just 2 , the forster is a good all rounder at every thing 👍😁 a shame when every thing is electric and no more Fsti to buy ☹️

i believe it is down to cars getting rare to source so prices have gone up , transport costs are up , brexit probably no impact on things for a change ☹️😁👍
