2003 Subaru Forester Xs Wagon 4-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Clarksville, Tennessee, United States
|
Black w/ gray interior, 5-spd manual, moonroof, factory 6-CD changer, heated seats, clean, non-smoker, 113K mi. 2.5L boxer engine has had timing belt replaced with most recent full-service and head gasket job around 100K mi. Runs smooth, does not burn oil and engine in great shape! Due to previous location in Ohio, front-end control arm factory recall done with replaced sub-frame due to rust on the undercarriage. Tires in good shape, and only body rust is very small corner on rear driver's side fender.
The good: LOVED driving this car, and on top it it a great car in great shape. The bad: Recently the driver-side rear wheel bearing went bad - should have cost $400 or so to replace. However, after having my local Subaru dealership plus a trusted reputable local auto repair shop here inspect it, many parts would have to be replaced due to the corrosion. They also showed me other places underneath that would eventually have to be replaced as a result of the rust. The bill had climbed to over $1000 to just fix that problem, so I decided to bail. I am selling the car "AS IS" with no warranty - I know there are some mechanics out there that can either fix this cheaper and work on anything else that needs to be done, or one could easily part it out. Shipping/pick-up is up to you - although engine is great, I wouldn't plan on driving her far at all (if any) with the bad wheel bearing. Any questions please ask prior to bidding. Thanks for looking! |

2015 Subaru Legacy is fresh-faced and more frugal
Thu, 06 Feb 2014While Subaru posted its best sales year ever in the United States in 2013, over half of its sales came from the success of the new Forester and popularity of the Outback. Its midsize Legacy sedan, on the other hand, saw sales tumble 10.3 percent. The company known for its all-wheel drive models hopes to right that trajectory with the 2015 Legacy. The all-new sedan sees a slight bump in fuel economy and a commitment to giving buyers a better product to compete against segment stalwarts like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
The refreshed sedan wears Subaru's new design language, which was teased by the Legacy Concept at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. However, the production version takes the hard, crisp lines down several notches, and it is bordering on boring at first glance. The best detail of the new design is the new hexagonal shield grille at the front that lends a little upscale panache over the current car's simple, rectangular front end. The coupe-like roofline has also been toned down from the concept, but it does smooth out the rear better than the current gen.
The Legacy's engines are carried over almost identically from last year's car. However both flavors of manual transmission are finally bowing out; all models now come with Subaru's Lineartronic CVT. Output from the 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder sees a slight bump to 175 horsepower (2 hp more than last year's model) and 174 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6-liter boxer six-cylinder is unchanged at 256 hp and 247 lb-ft. Fuel economy benefits from the new platform with the 2.5-liter model rated at an estimated 26/36/30 miles per gallon city/highway/combined, a boost of 2/4/3 mpg, respectively, over the previous generation. The 3.6-liter also sees a modest rise to 20/28/23 mpg, 2/3/3 mpg better respectively. Fairly impressive figures for an all-wheel-drive, midsize sedan.
2014 Subaru Forester scores 5 stars in NHTSA crash test [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Having aced the crash test from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and earning the highest rating of Top Safety Pick+, the 2014 Subaru Forester headed over to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a date with destruction. In the barrage of NHTSA tests, the new Forester met similar results as it did with the IIHS, earning a five-star overall crash rating.
Comparing these number to the previous model, which carried a four-star rating in all areas, the new Forester did much better in the side-impact test to earn a full five stars; frontal and rollover ratings were still at four stars like the old model, but the improved side crashworthiness was enough to gain the NHTSA's highest overall rating. The frontal impact video is posted below, but all the various test videos can be seen on NHTSA's website.
