Question

Anyone any experience of Foresters?

It 'May' be time at 72 to settle down, so looking at maybe a Forester or Honda CR-v - maybe BMW (spit, spit) X5? or that Merc?

Did you look at the Honda CRV?

Sometimes I just think that anyone replying to you is gonna end up in the keep net

Anyway, I'm running an old shaped Forester, but its a Jap grey STB model. This is a turbo putting out an alledged 240 bhp which will see you up with the fugly to about 80 mph. Being brick shaped you will quickly say goodby to anything after that.
The UK Turbo is quite a bit behind as it has 175bhp.
Just as nasty and stylish inside as the Classic Impreza and practiucally all other items are shared. Easy to get into if your suffering with arthritis and easy to load the not overly generous open boot.

Personally I don't get the new style Forester but interior is miles better as is the fuglys.

So its really an Impreza built with a different body, more roll and less of a low life/ police magnet.
A bit understated- is it really going to fit with your image Pete?

Any other questions fire away?
