hardlythere Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi all, Looking at purchasing my first Subaru,I've done the hard work and persuade the wife that we need one estate car in the house, my question is should I be concerned with 96-99000 miles on the clock on say a 2 litre Forester, looking at keeping it for about 4 years. I have to trade in my reliable Honda Accord so just how reliable are Foresters on the whole, know my wife will be waiting to say "should have kept the Honda" Thanks in advance.

Jay762 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 wotcha and welcome - if there is a consistent service history you should be fine with the mileage - we have many members on here with well over 100k clocked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardlythere Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks for that I've read through a fair bit of the forum and it doesn't seem to much of a problem. So time to push on and get some test drives lined up;oh and jump over to the newbie section I missed in my haste this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Pavely Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Mine has 110,000 miles and still makes mince meat out of honda CBR 600's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Welcome good work on persuading the misses, to be fair they are practical loads of boot space and a good alweather car Yeah I'd call 100k just run in [emoji16] loads of us are well past that mark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveuk260.Esq Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Mine has about 122,000 although I had to spend tidy sum on major service recently. Still not bad for a 14 year old car. Eats bmws for breakfast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardlythere Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for that liking the idea of owning one more and more now,practical,bags of grip and apparently gives you a big smile. Strange originally looked at outlanders and although I haven't dismissed them outright the thing that steered me away from foresters (their shape) is now an appeal,not too many about and will be the only one in the car park at work.

Steveuk260.Esq Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Mine does 188bhp with k&n panel filter and prodrive backbox. 14 years ago it was doing 177bhp. It has not been remapped. Foresters looks sluggish they are anything but. Other drivers constantly underestimate em [emoji38] [emoji38] [emoji38] I love that. They are sooo comfy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
