what sort of 0-60 is that doing? That would be brilliant as i cant seem to decide between the older model or the newer one!

Any one selling the black XT 2004 on ebay? Just would like some background info!!

I currently live in Portsmouth if that closer? Whats the running costs like per month? Thanks for your help if not!

Ahh i presume the engine layout is quite abit different with it being a boxer 2.5. are there any manuals or PDFs that would be worth having to take a look at the bits and pieces like sockets etc? A haynes manual sorta thing?

Im actually from up north (Liverpool) just working down here for the next 6 months! and i can travel! i may need the car for next winter... The dilemma was between me getting a R26, but the two i went to look at have failed MOTs before i saw them, which instantly put me off them as they needed more work than i was happy about, so started looking around again to see what was available and i really want something me and the OH can travel around Europe/Scandinavia. And have always loved the look of the Forester (Boxy, sleeper) Running Costs shouldn't really affect if you like the car, true petrolheads will pay for a good car! hence why the forester seems a good choice but i have only ever seen one on the motorway. I shall research some specialists by me, as id buy one preferably with a service! but those figures are actually cheaper than the R26 (Apart from the service) but i can do most of that myself (Or can i?) How big is the fuel tank on these?

Being 24 (and having only had one car) ive been playing with the idea of a classic car and a motorway muncher, but as the classic car world refuses to insure me on the one i was after i have decided to go for an all rounder! i have no need to ferry around children or take rubbish to the tip, im still a student and have always been drawn to forester xt and fstis. Insurance has dropped enough, 650 for the xt and 960 for the fsti which mean they come into price range of what i wanted to loan and spend. The car will ferry me to and from uni, 6miles each way and do a 400 mile round trip liverpool-bath-liverpool every weekend or so, whilst i know mpg isnt great on these its more than acceptable on such a unsuspecting rocket ship. i have never managed to see one in the flesh or have someone take me out in one, it would set my mind at ease to speak to a few owners and see their own foresters and if they are feeling generous, take me out for a spin in one. Im currently based im portsmouth and would like to hear back from any owners that may be able to help me! Ste

Hi guys, Been drawn to the WRX Wagon 2nd gen Hawkeye/Square after a few other forums about a new car ideas. I have £6000 to spend. Just looking to get some advice from first hand experience from guys who own the cars! Got a few questions! - What things to look for when buying? Knocking seems a big issue? - with 6k i seem to be able to get a quite good example, what spec should i be looking for? - What modifications should i be looking at / already be on the car with the extra money i would have. - Any other things i have missed?? Let me know Ste
