About this 2004 Subaru Forester XT (Turbocharged):

I am the original and only owner of this Subaru Forester XT. The majority of the miles on this vehicle are from highway driving which explains why I got 187,000 miles from the original clutch, which was still good when it got replaced by the Subaru dealer in July 2012. Prior to this the only other major repair was with the timing belt and two timing valves being replaced in January 2011. I religiously took this car into Jiffy Lube every 3,000 mile for oil changes and have had the transmission and transfer case oils changed several times as well. In March 2013 the check engine light came on and I took it to Subaru to be checked. I was told it was caused by a misfire and they reset the on-board computer. I drove it several days and then the light came back on. By the time I made it to Subaru the light went out by itself, however the code was still coming up as a misfire. I commute 130 miles each day to work and felt with 207,370 miles on a car that has served me well, it was time to buy another (Yep, I enjoyed this car so much, I bought a new 2014 Subaru Forester again). So where does this leave you the potential buyer? You will be buying a car that has been taken care of and properly routinely serviced. However, it does require some attention and is being sold "as-is" with the following known facts:

In need of service:

The front bumper is misaligned slightly from hitting a deer while going about 25 mph. The deer got up and ran away; however, left a dimple on the front bumper, on the passenger side. The dimple poped itself out over the summer, but there is a small gap to where the bumper fits next to the passenger front panel (see photo).
The trip meter is functional but will not reset zero.
The front driver's seat has the edge of the leather worn on the drivers side and has cracked.
The driver's side floor mat has a hole from wear, also the carpet under the mat is worn with a hole.
There is one fog light in the front that needs replacing accessible from under the car (these seems to go out every couple of years).
The check engine light has come on about four times, it is currently off (see pictures). This will need to be serviced for inspection.
The front of the hood has some chips from constant highway driving.
The mudflap on the passenger rear tire has a rub mark wear a car rubbed against it (no body damaged occurred).

Maintenance History:

Oil and filter routinely change every 3,000 miles.
Differential and transmission fluid changed every couple of years.
May 19, 2012 Windshield was replaced. (these cars are rock magnets on the highway).
January 13, 2011 Timing belt and two timing valves were replaced because of rough idle.
July 23, 2012 The clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and bearings were replace at 185,000 mile.
April 2013 was retired and is stored inside my garage.

Condition and Features:

6 Disc factory CD Player
Heated front seats.
Rearview mirror dims and has built-in compass.
Fog Lights
Air condition works great!
Good tires and brakes all the way around (see photos)
Aluminum Alloy Rims in good condition.
Newly replaced windshield
Newly replace timing belt, and gaskets.
Newly replace clutch, flywheel, pressure plate and bearing.
Start right up and runs very good.

Conclusion:

I was the one and only owner of this car. It has been taken care of properly and had all its routine services performed. I have many receipts to show all work performed. The car has been in minor accidents and each were reported to my insurance agent. The car had never suffered any major body or frame damage nor has it required me to have any bodywork done to it. Many of the miles driven on this car were highway miles, This car does need service to fix the intermittent check engine light. The car vin IS: JF1SG69674G763747 (see photo) and it is currently being stored inside my garage.

Acura may go all AWD in bid to mimic Subaru's success

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Acura's struggles have been well publicized. The Honda-owned luxury brand doesn't seem sure of where it's going or what it's trying to accomplish, with its cars and marketing lacking a coherent theme. Now, a new report from Automotive News claims that the brand could follow the success of Subaru and (to a lesser extent) Audi, and adopt all-wheel-drive as standard across its model range.
"I think that's the way we should go," Acura boss Koichi Fukuo told Automotive News.
Acura already offers some form of all-wheel drive on every vehicle in its line aside from the lamentable ILX sedan. That could change as Acura begins rolling out next-generation versions of its still relatively new stable of sedans and crossovers.

WA woman wins $90M Powerball, plans to buy Subaru Forester

Fri, Dec 5 2014

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Lisa Quam recently hit the Powerball jackpot to win $90 million. Like many folks lucky enough to win, Quam says one of her first stops will be a car dealer for a new set of wheels. Her first thought isn't to choose high luxury with a Bentley Mulsanne or Mercedes-Benz S-Class, though. Nope, she plans to buy herself a Subaru Forester, which is an eminently practical (if predictable) choice for someone residing in Washington state. Hopefully, Quam will decide to spend a few extra bucks for the turbocharged XT trim; she can definitely afford it. For our money, Quam's Subaru isn't nearly as cool of a choice as the guy who decided to buy himself an used Acura NSX from Craigslist with his $448 million Powerball jackpot last year. They're both keeping things modest with their newfound fortunes, though, and that strikes us as a smart move.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.
