A review about the FB engine and the diesel in the Forester:
http://www.netcarshow.com/subaru/2011-forester/

I did not know that the Diesel was changed so much
compared to mine 2008 Legacy.

But still the same amount of HP.
Would be nice if they introduce a type with 184 or 200 HP
to keep up with the German competitors.

They cannot compete with ze Germans.

Maybe in reliability they trump them, but otherwise they are lagging far behind.

The engine is nothing special compared to the competition. They should have a 150PS and a 200PS option/version at least.
Performance is mediocre. The gearing is terrible, and the clutch is made of pig fat.

It is good for hauling around crap in large quantities, on bad or no roads with some frugality, and some comfort.

Would be nice to hear how the Litchfield upgrades are on the diesels.
