2003 Subaru Forester 2.5l Xs - Auto, Awd, Fully Loaded on 2040-cars
Leavenworth, Indiana, United States
Excellent condition 2003 Subaru Forester XS with Automatic Transmission and AWD
Well kept and maintained irrespective of cost with 202,xxx miles on her, the place we bought it had cars with over 300k on them parked on the lot which looked and drove just as nicely, so it's clearly not a concern for these cars. Just had $2000 engine rebuild by Subaru specialist to correct worn oil control rings (fixing higher than average oil consumption), so new owner will benefit from all new rings, re-machined heads, all new gaskets and belts. As near as makes no difference - brand new engine. Always used Amsoil fully synthetic oil for changes and NAPA gold (glass-pack rather than cardboard) filters. Transmission and differential fluid was changed with engine rebuild, so that's also all fresh. The air conditioning was recently refilled and blows ice cold. Finally, note this is the 2.5L SOHC Boxer engine, which is easier to work on and more reliable than the DOHC equivalent. The exterior of the car belies its age and miles, the paintwork is almost completely dent free and there's certainly no rust on the frame. The wheels were refurbished by the previous owner, but 2 would benefit new centre caps to make them perfect. Tyres are in good condition and were recently rotated. Note that this car is also perfectly capable of mild off-roading (should one feel the need) with its legendary Subaru all-wheel-drive system and 18inch maximum wading depth. We live down a fairly rough track at the bottom of a very steep hill and it performed flawlessly come deep snow, flooded creek or sheet ice. As previously mentioned, car is XS trim so benefits: Climate Control Cruise Control Electric Windows Electric/Heated mirrors Heated front & rear window Heated seats Fog lights Front/Rear Disc brakes Subaru branded mats Rear bumper load protector Ipod compatible stereo (fitted by previous owner) In summary: this car is in fantastic condition and has had thousands in work done under our ownership, the new owner can enjoy many years of trouble free ownership. Drop me a message if you need any more information, would like to arrange a viewing, or want to talk about anything I've written here. Many thanks for looking. UPDATE 10/21/2013 - Just had the car inspected for the new owner and had two new lower ball joints fitted, other than that it received a clean bill of health. |

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Racey Subaru BRZ spied on New York Auto Show floor [UPDATE]
Wed, Apr 1 2015UPDATE: Subaru had the same BRZ out on the show stand this morning, so we added a full gallery. Turns out the car is called Subaru STI Performance Concept... full info available later this afternoon. Subaru is doing something very interesting with the BRZ at the New York Auto Show. Unfortunately, actual details about it are nonexistent at this point, but a user with the screenname The359 posted these two photos from the floor of the event on the FT86 Club forums, by way of an Instagram page. This BRZ appears to get a pretty thorough makeover with big, L-shaped LED running lights on the edges of the more aggressive front air dam, widened fenders and a rather nicely integrated hood bulge, which suggests the possibility of a more powerful engine underneath. The profile photo provides an even better look at the body kit, and it's practically impossible to miss the massive wing at the back that should keep the coupe sticking to the ground. In all, it bears a striking resemblance to the Subaru BRZ Concept STI that was shown at Los Angeles way back in 2011. It's not currently clear whether this is just a high performance concept to tease us, or the more powerful BRZ that many people are looking for. Regardless, the car definitely piques our interest.

2016 Subaru WRX and STI get new safety, tech equipment
Fri, Apr 24 2015The Subaru WRX and STI were just thoroughly revamped, but the Japanese brand has decided to tweak the offerings slightly for the 2016 model year. The changes include some upgraded safety systems, and as a possible blasphemy to fans, a smaller wing is being offered on the STI. The latest versions should hit dealers in the summer, but prices grow slightly. A base WRX is $300 more than last year at at $26,595 (plus $795 destination on all of them), and the cheapest STI is $34,695, a $200 increase. The WRX is undoubtedly fun to drive already, but the Premium and Limited trims now ride on standard 18-inch wheels with summer performance tires. For added in-car entertainment, Subaru is giving all models, including the STI, its 6.2-inch Starlink infotainment system that includes a rearview camera. Vehicles with navigation get a seven-inch version. Driving a WRX might be just a little safer too because Subaru is offering its EyeSight system with adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist as an option on the Limited with the CVT. It's packaged with things like the nav system, upgraded radio, keyless start, and steering-responsive foglights for $4,095. The same trim with the six-speed manual gets a similar bundle but replaces some of the safety tech with just blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert for $3,100. In perhaps the most contentious change, the STI Limited trim is now available with a tiny, trunk lip spoiler as a no-cost option. Seeing the aggressive sedan without the big wing certainly looks odd in photos, and it's still available for buyers who want it.
