Subaru Forster or Outback

 

sti.... that would be sweet, so maybe its a forester S????

 

 

LOL, I knew it. Big $ difference on those US to Canada.

Now that's utility with FUN.

 

Forester XT
In Canada the only turbo Forester is the 'limited', which comes loaded with leather, etc.

US models are a little different, so I was able to get a turbo w/o leather etc.

My main goal was to find a utility vehicle (hence no leather etc) that was still going to be some fun to drive.
It also doesn't hurt that I'm saving +9K going this way with the US Subi.

The other good thing is that many of the Sti parts fit, as well as a huge aftermarket selection for mods.

Subaru is also one of the only mfgs that make it extremely easy to buy a new US car for import.

 

Nice, very nice.

 

Good choice Ian, very utilitarian yet very modable. It should be an awesome replacement for your sedan/dead F150.
What color? When I was considering Subies a few years ago white was my choice.

Let the Modding Begin

 

what color are you getting? does the XT come with a 6speed MT?

 

Satin white pearl FTW.

Modding will be minimal for now.
Don't want to cut into the Z4M budget too much

Springs & sways will be the first thing for now.

 

Unfortunately there is no MT option with the turbo. (here or US)
I did find a JDM source for paddle shifters though.

 

amazing choice on the color!! i love SWP!!!! LOVE! i have a borla x-r1 catback on my car and may sell it if i found a stock catback cheap enough. its basicly brand new. less than 2000km's on it!!! looks great and sounds great. let me know if thats something you may be interested in.

the tip on mine is different, its a double wall i believe.... i have not seen it in a while

 

i have pics on my computer, it is a double wall! looks good and kinda stock!

 

Sounds like a great system Bill.
But I think I'd like to keep the dual OE look.

 

If the sti legacy wagon version was here. I woulda jump on that
