carruthersmi6 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi all I am in the process of replacing a 2001 C class Merc (with rust and numerous electric problems), and firstly looking for a higher car to get in and out of and was wondering if there are any members also have a auto forester who could give me any pointers, also how many miles per gallon would I expect to get from the auto version. At the moment my VED is £290 and am getting 38 mpg. As I am on fixed income it would good if I could better these figures. Also what would the main points to look out for. Many thanks in anticipation Regards Carrtuthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Drop David1972 a pm he's had a foz and now on a legacy so is the man to speak to, I are you looking for a turbo or n/a car ? Either way I wouldn't expect to see a great deal more than 30-35 mpg on a good run, round town is more like mid to high 20 's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I had a manual 2003 2.0 Foz and currently have a 3.0 Auto Outback......see below for my actual mpg readings - Foz was for 6 months Jan-July; Outback is for 1.5 years Jul-current day. If you're looking at a turbo Foz you are more than likely looking sub 30; for normally aspirated I'd suggest low 30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
