Purchased used in April 2012 for $21,321.97 with $17,555 miles on it.

I've put all nearly every single one of those 40,000 miles on the car via highway miles for work across North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina. Typically averages 23.5 miles gallon combined. I am technically the 4th owner -- but really only the second owner. The middle two owners were 2 different auto dealerships that just had the car in inventory over a period of 8 months before I purchased. The 1st owner was corporate ownership from a company in Pennsylvania that I actually spoke with before purchasing from a local dealer in North Carolina who had left their registration information in the car. Never had any problems or accidents with the vehicle. They traded the car in on 8/23/11 and I purchased in April of 2012. All of this will be confirmed by a Carfax. The car has a clear title and is smoke-free.

Forester comes loaded with: 4-cyl PZEV 2.5 liter engine, Automatic 4 speed, AWD, hillstart assist, traction control, vehicle dynamic control, ABS (4-wheel), keyless entry (two sets of keys and remotes), air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, power steering tilt wheel, auxiliary audio input/ipod integration, am/fm stereo, single disc CD, dual air bags, side air bags, heated premium cloth seats, panorama roof (extra large sunroof), privacy glass (tined rear windows), daytime running lights, roof rack, premium allow wheels, just put new Cooper CS4 Touring tires on it last year -- approximately 90% tread life remains, large trunk with storage underneath and spare tire.

Mechanically perfect -- no known issues whatsoever. Forester has been serviced every 3500 miles since purchased. There are just a couple of exterior blemishes to note: right rear bumper scuffed a little due to someone slightly scraping me in a parking lot and driving off. Additionally, on the right rear end of the roof rack finish is slightly scraped off in one concentrated area. I was parked at a restaurant near a stop sign and backed up underneath the stop sign in a slightly bone-headed move that allowed one corner of the stop sign to scrape this mark. Sorry about that one.

Otherwise, nothing else to note. Interior is very clean with the sporadic routine nick or scuff. Nothing noticeable.

I'm selling because my second child its on its way and we have too much money tied into car payments that is needed elsewhere. Hate to sell the Sub since I've just had it a couple of years, but other things in life are taking precedence at the moment. My loss is your gain! Local pick-up only. The vehicle is still under finance and my local credit union will have the title waiting on the buyer at pick-up -- so title is essentially in hand. We will meet at the bank and transfer payment and title. I will pass along those directions upon receipt of $500 deposit due at selling. Please read and ask specific questions -- no warranty is expressed or implied.

2017 Subaru Forester has new face, better EyeSight, torque vectoring

Fri, Apr 15 2016

The Forester was Subaru's best-selling vehicle in the US last year, and holds that title so far in 2016. With stiff competition in the crossover segment, though, Subaru isn't resting on that success. A refresh to the Forester for the 2017 model year adds more tech, and updated face, and a quieter interior. Plus you can now get torque vectoring on the 2.0-liter turbo, just like in the Impreza WRX and STI. The updated Forester arrives at dealerships in July. Most significant among the updates is a an upgrade to Subaru's Eyesight safety system. Eyesight uses two cameras in the windshield to read the road ahead and provide emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. With the new model year the system now uses color cameras with a winder and longer field of view. The tech suite includes Lane Keep Assist, and higher trims benefit from additional improvements like High Beam Assist, Steering Responsive Headlights, and Reverse Automatic Braking, which can automatically stop the CUV if it detects an obstruction behind the car. The 2017 Forester's design tweaks are minor but attractive. The new grille features horizontal bars, and the updated front fascia for naturally aspirated models has a larger body-color section around the air dam. The headlights feature C-shaped LED running lights, too. Riding in the Forester should be quieter thanks to thicker door glass, new seals, additional under-floor insulation, and an acoustic glass windshield. There's also a redesigned steering wheel, and it's even heated on the Touring trim. Customers can still choose between a 170-horsepower naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four cylinder or a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four. Subaru worked some engineering magic on the 2.5 and upped the fuel economy 26 miles per gallon city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined – gains of 2 mpg city and 1 mpg combined. Subaru's venerable all-wheel drive layout also now includes Active Torque Vectoring on the Forester 2.0XT Touring with EyeSight for even sharper handling.

Honda, Subaru airlifting parts to bypass port labor diputes

Fri, Feb 6 2015

It should be abundantly obvious that a vital element in building cars is actually having the components on hand to assemble them. A labor dispute on the West Coast between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and management is not making that quite so easy for some Japanese automakers. Work slowdowns at the ports have pushed Honda and Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries into flying some parts into the country. The two automakers began shipping by airplane late last month to avoid production delays, according to Bloomberg, but it has been an expensive solution. Subaru's chief financial officer said the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. They aren't the only companies dealing with the problem, either. Toyota reportedly stopped overtime assembly at some of its factories here because of the delays in getting parts, according to Bloomberg. The dockworkers have been negotiating on a new contract since May 2014, and the current offer on the table to them has offered a 3 percent raise, according to Bloomberg. Although, the union is reportedly considering another slowdown at 29 ports along the West Coast in the coming days.

The Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is real

Fri, May 6 2016

As a two-door wagon the shooting brake exists at the unusual but captivating intersection between practicality and sportiness. This Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is no different – it's a standard GT86, with no mechanical alterations save the grafted-on wagonette roof and hatch. It's fully functional, too, having turned some laps on Toyota's test tracks. It even has the blessing of Tetsuya Tada, the father of the Toyota 86 and its Subaru BRZ and (now rebadged) Scion FR-S, who's been protective of the original GT86 concept to the point of strenuously resisting any serious power upgrades. This isn't the first shooting brake concept we've seen from the Toyobaru twins, but it's the first Toyota-badged one. Subaru brought the Cross Sport Design Concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. So how did the GT86 Shooting Brake Concept happen? The story, as Toyota tells it, involves the company's Australian design team. They created a 1/4-scale clay model of the shooting brake, and showed it to Tada when he visited in late 2014. He was so impressed, Toyota says, that he had his hand-picked craftsman in Japan bring the idea to full-scale fruition. The Australian design team, in the outdoor-loving spirit of their country, immediately thought that the longer roof would be perfect for carrying surfboards and other unwieldy sports equipment. And it would be. Meanwhile, Tada and the rest of the Toyota corporation want to tamp down expectations. It's a design study, the company says, and it's just "testing the waters." Toyota won't rule anything out, and Mazda recently surprised everyone with the MX-5 RF's unusual and attractive targa model. Maybe in a world where Mazda felt confident enough to introduce the RF, Toyota can be daring enough to bring a sporty wagon to the masses. We can hope, and maybe if we all make enough noise together Toyota will make it a reality.
