Rodd Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Can I ask your advice gents? My trusty XTrail is finally giving up the ghost after 16 years & 200k miles and I’ve decided to replace with a forester. I have £10k ish and there seem to be a range of petrol & diesels around. Which would you recommend for reliability & longevity, I do about 12k miles a year. many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 an older one, newer models are not that long term durable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I would go for the older models. Personally i think the newer diesels seem to have problems. However I may be biased, 2005 Forester XT owner. All the best in your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Kelly Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'd suggest a 2014 (and on) Forester (2014 after the last major facelift/uplift] and petrol. I'm afraid I have no idea what price they go for. Good luck and might I say welcome !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
