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.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

The Mountain, the Manx, the BRZ and how I learned to love racing

Subaru Takes Us Along To Drive On The Isle of Man, And We Try Not To Ball It Up
While the mild dehydration wasn't helping me, it was probably the least of my worries.
I am not a timid driver, nor an inexperienced one. But waiting to take a lap of the stunningly dangerous, 37.7-mile Snaefell Mountain Course at the Isle of Man TT had me on tilt, no fooling. I concentrated on the task in front of me, left hand working the gear pattern on the right-hand-drive Subaru BRZ I was to pilot, while kids on bikes, fat old beer-drinking men and other members of a fast-growing throng of onlookers pointed at our group of five Subarus and nine Americans. We were moments from our 'demonstration' for the motorcycle racing-hungry crowd and I was awfully glad, at that exact moment, that I'd emptied my bladder before buckling in.
