This Subaru Forester is in great shape. It just got inspected for the PA state safety inspection, so the sticker will not expire until October 2014. This car is ready to drive anywhere you would like. The original engine overheated because of a bad head gasket, common to this year of Subaru. I purchased a very nice engine from a 2000 Subaru with 80K miles on it. My research shows that the newer engines have less head gasket issues than the original engine. The new engine did not need a head gasket but I replaced it anyway to prevent it from needing one in the future. The replacement Felpro head gaskets are better than the original ones installed by Subaru.

I had the head gasket replaced professionally and also replaced the timing belt and timing belt tensioner. I wanted to install a fresh engine that I could trust for 200K miles or more. The clutch is new and the whole car is ready to be driven daily for a long time.

The stickshift Subarus are desireable. It shifts smoothly and easily. The gear ratio is low to improve performance, which I found worked well in slow moving traffic.

The seats are in great shape with no tears. The car has been well taken care of.

I included a picture of a tiny dent on the rear wheel arch. The quarter panels are solid and rust free. The brown in the photo is dirt from my driveway. I've driven this car about 100 miles on the new engine and I continue to drive it daily. I've also noticed that the passenger side headlight bracket has been split glued by a previous owner and is no longer glued. I included a picture of this. It never bothered me and isn't noticeable externally.

The car is located in Perkiomenville, PA, Zip code 18074. This location is about 45 minutes north of Philadelphia along the turnpike and about 2 hours from Harrisburg, PA.

2015 Subaru WRX leaks out ahead of debut [w/video]

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

The car you see above could, possibly, be the 2015 Subaru WRX, a car that isn't supposed to reach the public eye until next week's Los Angeles Auto Show. The leaked image has been circulating around the web, along with a brief teaser video of the new sports sedan (which you can see below).
The image, which AutoWeek reports may be (probably) a render, appeared on the Clubrz Facebook page, a Subaru fan group. It does fit somewhat with the teaser image we showed you yesterday, while featuring certain styling cues from the WRX Concept shown at the last New York Auto Show.
Now, we'd advise you take this with an appropriately sized grain of salt. We won't know for certain what the next WRX looks like until we're parked in an uncomfortable chair at the LA Convention Center. Still, take a look up top and let us know if the new WRX - which, we'll point out, has neither gold wheels, a big wing or World Rally Blue paint - fits with what you wanted to see. We've also got a very short teaser of the car that plays on the teaser image posted yesterday, which you can see by scrolling down.

2018 Subaru Forester joins the black-out bandwagon with Black Edition

Thu, May 18 2017

People apparently love black-painted trim. Nissan, Chevrolet, and Honda have all recently offered special-edition packages to ditch chrome and color-coded parts for the dark hue, and Subaru is the latest to join the party. Its offering comes in the form of the 2018 Forester Black Edition. The package is only available on the 170-horsepower, naturally aspirated, Forester 2.5i Premium. It also costs an extra $1,150. For that money, you get the following in the eponymous color: 18-inch wheels, fog light trim, badges, mirror caps, and the grille. Inside, the interior is also black. The steering wheel and shifter are leather-wrapped, and the upholstery is cloth with faux leather bolsters. The package isn't all aesthetics, though. It also comes with steering LED headlights and paddle shifters for the CVT, allowing the driver to pick from six preset ratios. The latter feature was previously exclusive to the turbocharged Forester 2.0XT. The package also comes on the heels of the 2018 model introduction. There aren't many notable updates to this year's Forester, however. All trim levels except Touring increase in price by $200. All Touring models jump by $1,795. The Touring's large price jump comes with now-standard reverse automatic emergency braking and high-beam assist. The 2.0XT Touring also now has torque vectoring similar to that in the WRX line.

Subaru teases Impreza sedan concept for LA

Tue, Nov 10 2015

When the doors open at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this month, Subaru will be on hand to preview its upcoming Impreza. But before it does, it's giving us an idea of what to expect. Although we can only see so much of it from the teaser image above, the Impreza Sedan Concept pictured here for the first time looks similar to the Impreza 5-Door Concept we saw in Tokyo mere days ago. It seems to bear the same headlights and the same sculpted flank as the hatchback show car. Only as you might have discerned by now, it has a trunk instead of a tailgate. And instead of that blueish-silver, this one's done up in metallic red. For more than that, we'll have to wait. And it's entirely possible that even when it does arrive, Subaru won't tell us much about the technical specifications. Many of these concepts don't actually have engines, after all, When the new Impreza does reach production, it will in all likelihood feature a boxer four engine and all-wheel drive. Subaru to Debut "Impreza Sedan Concept" at 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show Tokyo, November 10, 2015 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, today announced that the "Impreza Sedan Concept" will make its world debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show (Press day: November 17 – 19 / Open to the public: November 20 – 29, 2015). The Impreza Sedan Concept will be unveiled at the press briefing scheduled for 2:35 PM PST on November 18 at Subaru booth following a speech by FHI President & CEO, Yasuyuki Yoshinaga. The special site opens today on the Subaru Global Site. http://www.subaru-global.com/2015la.html The site will feature information updates relating to the Los Angeles Auto Show including Subaru's press conference.
