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. |

Subaru Forester gets facelift for Japan
Thu, Oct 8 2015Subaru will introduce the updated version of the Forester for the Japanese domestic market at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. The model benefits from a number of upgrades to the styling, interior, and equipment. It remains to be seen which, if any of these improvements will be applied to the version we get here. Most noticeable is the revised front fascia, which has been restyled to give it a "sturdier, more SUV-like appearance" thanks to a new grille, bumper, and headlights. Those lamps incorporate the company's latest EyeSight system with LED high- and low-beams that adapt to provide the optimal level of illumination according to traffic conditions. The suite of safety systems also includes lane-assist, pre-collision brake assist, blind-spot monitor, adaptive cruise control, and more. Around back the taillights have been redone as well, along with new 17- and 18-inch wheels and new body color options. Other features of the revised Forester include a new instrument panel with silver and piano-black accents, a color LCD display, and more. While mechanical changes remain limited, Subaru says it has optimized the suspension, steering, and transmission for better response. Turbocharged models also get active torque vectoring, and improved insulation promises lower NVH levels across the board. Subaru Upgrades Forester in Japan — New Safety Features include EyeSight (Ver. 3) and New Headlight Advancements — Tokyo, October 6, 2015 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, today announced an upgraded edition of the Subaru Forester in Japan. The model will be exhibited on October 28 at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015 Press Day. The Forester has always been noted for the high degree of performance balance as an SUV. The latest upgrade advances this performance especially in the areas of design, driving enjoyment, and the utility and comfort expected of an SUV. Furthermore, the Forester's safety performance, already among the world's highest, has been bolstered by adopting the new EyeSight*1, an Advanced Safety Package*2 incorporating newly developed Adaptive Driving Beam headlights, and Subaru's first LED high & low beam lights and Steering Responsive Headlights. This comprehensive upgrade in vehicle performance has raised the Forester to a new level, as a product that will brighten the lives of more customers than ever.

Subaru looks back on record-setting WRX STI from 2011 Isle of Man
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In what we can only presume/hope is a precursor to the launch of the next-gen WRX STI, Subaru has released three videos now giving us a look back at the history of the STI-badged WRX models. In this third video, Dominick Infante, national manager of product communications at Subaru of America, got ahold of the automaker's 2011 WRX STI that broke records for the Isle of Man TT Challenge a couple of years ago.
In 2011, rally driver Mark Higgins piloted this car to a lap speed record of 115 miles per hour and a lap time record of 19:56.7 around the 37.8-mile course. The race-prepped STI, which Infante refers to as an "STI on steroids," features a beefed-up suspension, a wonderful-sounding open exhaust and the removal of the speed limiter to go with full roll cage and racing seats and harnesses.
Scroll down to see - and hear - new driving footage of this 2011 WRX STI with Infante behind the wheel as well as some race footage from 2011 - including a near-disaster Higgins averted at 150 mph. Also, be sure to check out the previous videos from Subaru for the 1998 Impreza 22B STI and a 2004 WRX STI.
