Hello. Which 2L N/A foresters are best for mpg. Sf, Sg or sh? And also which model has the cheapest on parts and maintenance costs? Cheers guys or lassses :)

Is the one in the video you posted a SF?

Ahh right. Ya learn something different everyday lol :) cheers

:) ya going to think im daft here but what does SF mean? Subaru forester?

Im quite a big lad. Im 6ft 5 and big boned ;) so are the old foresters got a decent amount of drivers leg room and are the seats comfy. Also I did find with the newer models, the hand break is really close to the seat so it hits your thighs. Is the old one the same :)

Ate the old ones better than the new ones (comfort, space and ruggidness)?

Wow. They really do sound instopable:)

Thanks. I can't wait to get one :)

Well I think im sold on the forester. Im planning to do a lot of charity work for dogs, cats and wildlife so having a vehicle capable of going off road and carry animals is a must :)

I have 4 dogs that I love to take for walks. Im thinking of getting a SF but im not sure what they are like as a dog walkers car. Any one know what they are like for dogs (space, cages est). Any dog owners out there that have pooches.

Holy S#$t thats going to take some beating. Obviously they would of been hurt but I hope they wasnt that badly hurt?

Whos had the worst crash in a forester. There's no prize ..just a big ego ;) please include pics of car and how it happened :)

Anyone had a experience with a forester that would of broke a normal car but didnt break the forester. I just want to know how tough they are.

Hello scooby folk Iv spotted a 2010 Subaru forester 2L N/A for sale. Im contemplating on buying it but im just worried that the millage of the car may present a problem. I will be taking this car off road now and again and will be putting many more miles on it. Will thos amount of milage put alot of straon on the car making it weak which is the last thing I want when im off road. Ehat im basically trying to say is, is 101k miles alot for a subar forester. Will this amount of milafe mean rhe car could be weak and have some big problems? Thanks sam

Overall then do you think the foresters (including the newer ones) are tougher, more reliable and better than lets say the LR FL?

Thanks for the amazing reply.wear can I get lift kits and underbody protection for forester? :)

Anyone have a subaru forester from 2009 to 2013? If so what are they like to live with? Any problems to watch out for? And are the parts expensive or cheap? Thanks

Thanks very much. Thats some really sound info. :)

Tell me about it. Let me know when you seen video

Many of you have probably seen the fifth gear episode wear tom ford compared the freelander 2 with the forester (a completely biased video btw) he slates the subaru off so much. Has anyone had any experience with the forester off road? Can they handle off road situations with out breaking left right and centre. Any replys are much appreciated

Thanks very much for your detailed reply. Its really useful. I just got a tad confused because people say the 2L engines are tough as old boots whole others say the head gaskets are a night mare

Well thats good to hear. So it was just the 2.5L engine that had the issue :)

Hello I am new to the forum. I have been wanting to buy a Subaru Forester 2.0l N/A 2010-2013. The thing is iv read that subarus can get head gasket issues (especially in 2.5L N/A engine) does this problem apply to the model forester I am looking into buying. Many thanks
