Highspirits Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just seen some interesting news about a new 2015 Forester STI, looks based around a concept at the moment but would be nice to see some new ones on the road. http://www.torquenews.com/1084/subaru-introduces-surprise-2015-forester-sti-future-motorsports-fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_gr7 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Looks lovely! Although, does it look a bit small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Looks lovely! Although, does it look a bit small?I think that looks small as it's a lot lower, The new ones are huge I was parked next to one the other day and was a bit disappointed by the looks, park it in a crowd of oyher 4x4's and it would look much the same, least with the 1st & 2nd gen cars they look prerty unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 But is this forester STi like the XV STi in that it's a few cosmetic changes and some aerodynamic changes and suspension improvements but nothing in the engine bay. Or is this a "proper" STi? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Not too sure on the front, grill seems a bit too black if you get me. Think the top of the grill below the bonnet needs to be a different colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'd have one if it looks like that though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looks like it will have cvt transmission then, bet manual wouldn't be offered, like the new s4 jdm only impreza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looks like it will have cvt transmission then, bet manual wouldn't be offered, like the new s4 jdm only impreza I imagine it'll be cvt, the XT turbo currently only comes in cvt, no manual gearbox. Though it's pretty good, only odd thing is you don't hear it change gears like a traditional auto Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Have you driven it dog? If so, what's it like? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've driven an XT 2.0 turbo on an off road track, it's quite impressive what it can do, the hill descent assistance is very clever. It's very quick even on gravel. It did feel a little heavy though, but that might be because I'm used to an XV. It's a very nice car. I'm not sure i could justify the tax or fuel though.

Dogconker Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's double what I pay now and I doubt it does 60mpg, well I doubt it'd do it if I drove it, you'd just have to put your foot down all the time [emoji3] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highspirits Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Looks like announcement on the 25th November, seems to look very similar to the concept in the pictures they've shown. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/27/subaru-forester-sti-teaser/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
