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 boosting US capacity thanks to strong sales
Sun, May 10 2015It is very, very good to be Subaru right now. The company is rolling, with its global operating profits increasing 21 percent last quarter. While part of that is due to favorable currency conditions, the simple fact is that Subaru is selling a hell of a lot of cars, particularly in North America. The company's North American branch is expected to hit its sales goal of 600,000 units per year five years ahead of schedule, after moving 570,000 units in the recently completed fiscal year (remember, the Japanese fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31). Last quarter alone, Subaru NA saw a 12 percent increase in sales, significantly more than either the company's home market or the increasingly vital Chinese market, where sales declined by one and 14 percent, respectively. With such promising results, it's no surprise that Fuji Heavy Industries President Yasuyuki Yoshinaga announced plans to bump up production at the company's Indiana factory. Yoshinaga-san is pushing for annual capacity of 394,000 units by the end of calendar year 2016, Automotive News reports, adding that inventory levels in the US are too low. "If only we had more cars, we could be selling more," Yoshinaga told AN during a news conference. FHI's previous plans for the factory were much less aggressive. Originally, production would be expanded to 328,000 units by 2017, AN reports, with an eye towards a full 400,000 units per year by 2021. With 394,000 rolling out of the Lafayette, IN factory by next year, though, it's clear how keen Subaru is to take advantage of such strong demand.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.

2015 Subaru Legacy, Outback crash their way to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Subaru Legacy and Outback are the latest vehicles to be awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most prestigious safety title, Top Safety Pick+.
As we've explained many times before, this only applies vehicles that can score an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating on the five IIHS crash tests and earn at least a "Basic" rating for crash prevention systems.
In the Legacy's case, it totally aced IIHS's testing, earning "Good" scores on the small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact tests, while also bringing home the top "Superior" rating for its optional EyeSight system.
