It's a 3l petrol though and it's nice bit I do a fair few miles with work and it would kill me to fuel up a full tank each week if not more lol. Just keeping my eye out for a forester and fingers crossed it will be soon. It is tempting though.

Nice car dude, will have to have a meet when I get something worthy to turn up in.

Not a bad find there David, I might have to go have a look at that one. I did like the next gen though, and I am drawn to the black ones as well (no rude comments lol) Are there any members in the big smoke who know their stuff and could look at the 2006 plate one for me and /I will look at the 02 model myself. Thanks for the find though. I know the tax is a bugger, but I think the extra power and looks could be worth it... not sure until I find out more info. Really cant wait to get one though.... then a few little tweeks here and there to make it a little more me and I will pretend I am happy until I change something else lol.

Spotted it a day or so ago, but haven't called yet due to work, and not being able to get a quiet 5 minutes. Was going to call tomorrow and ask about the service history, as I know the belts will be about 400+ ish for an specialist. I know mileage is high, but from everything I can find, if serviced and looked after a little then they are bullet proof!

Thanks man, babies are awesome, will be teaching her how to details from a young age.. little hands can get to places I cant reach in the engine bay lol. Here is the ad, not sure if it is the right place to post it, so please move it if its wrong. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201407105715573/sort/default/radius/1500/make/subaru/price-to/2500/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/page/1/colour/black/postcode/pr21qn/model/forester/advert-type/Classified/transmission/manual/usedcars/fuel-type/petrol?logcode=p

Thanks for the welcome, I have spotted one I like but it is in London and I am not the most mechanically minded person about. I would go and see it but I live in Preston so it is a bit of a travel, and I work away from home and just had a baby so cant take too much time away from her. If there is any good people on London (near Ace Cafe) then give me a pm and I will give you details. Thanks Kev

Afternoon all, I have lurked for many moons deciding if a forester would be a good buy and now I have a family it makes sense.. or thats what I told he wife lol I am wanting a 2.5xt 2006 prob as costs rise a little after that. I have spotted a few, but all miles away so might need to ask for help. Other than that, I love the look and the performance and how much space!!!!!! Plus I just have to have one... simple! I live in Preston but work all over the place. Hope to get good knowledge from you all and have a laugh... thats what life is about!
