Hi guys/galls, Looking to change my wheels quite soon but I'm having trouble choosing! 🤔 As she looks now. I'm gonna load some pics (numbered but not named) and I haven't yet chosen a make, so they're a guide only for now, I'd appreciate your feedback and comments. On my last Scooby, '09 WRX Hatch I went for the Wolfrace Asia-Tec in gunmetal. (#1) and they looked awesome. 😁 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, So far I'm leaning towards 4 & 1, love the jdm look. Thanks for looking! 👍

Hi We have a 58 plate old shape Forester, low mileage and in good condition Had the cambelt and a rear wheel bearing changed by a dealer recently, no problems really but while taking it there the exhaust broke. I was advised it couldn't be repaired. The dealer then disposed of the exhaust (without asking) I'm was quoted a price of around £1,600 for a Subaru replacement, dealer advised me to find an alternative via a local garage or specialist who may possibly make one up for less than the cost of the Subaru part? Any suggestions please, are compatible exhausts available at all? in the Wrexham Shrewsbury area Regards Rob

Hello, Just after some advice on what you guys would do, I've had an RX for about 2 years now due to insurance issues with my age they wouldnt cover me on a turbo back then I now can get insurance! Found a lovely wrx in a main dealer garage it has fsh, vosa verified miles, hpi clear, receipts for everything done to it and 65k miles. All seems great but it's had 6 owners, I would be the 7th! would this scare you off? Making me have second thoughts. It's a 2007 Hawkeye. Don't know what to think any advice gladly received. Cheers!!

Hi Everyone I was hoping some experienced subaru owners might lend me some of their knowledge Hopefully soon ill be getting my first subaru, a 2004 forester 2.5 XT. Im really looking forward to it but i was hoping for some advice on what to look out for and what to ask the current owner as the car is too far away for me to check it out and i dont want to waste a trip. The car has around 89,000 miles (which im sure really means 90,000) and will have a full mot when i buy it. Its just failed the mot with worn front droplinks, a leaking CV boot and a brake fluid leak which the owner is now getting fixed. Its had some work done to it including the cambelt, new aluminium radiator, BC Racing Adjustable coilover suspension & stainless steel exhaust. It also sounds like the car has been used for towing another car at least once. I was wondering what questions should i be asking, what should i expect when i go and see it and what should i be looking out for as red flags to turn the other way. I know im asking people to do alot of the work for me on this but i cant seem to find any buyers guides on the car or any consistent information of common problems. Im already aware of some of the more common little faults - window motors, sunroof problems, window wind noise etc but none of the main mechanical ones. Any help at all will be very much appreciated. Thanks Jelly

Hi all, I am looking to buy my first Subaru, as i have recently realised that my dream of owning an Impreza WRX STI can now become a reality following four years of (mostly) careful driving which has allowed me to build up enough no claims to make insurance finally affordable. I am torn between either the 2004 or 2006 models as i think they are the best looking ones within my budget, does anyone have any advice on making this decision? (ie how are they to drive, mpg, power and delivery, refinement, depreciation, and reliability/parts which may need replacing soon etc) i would really appreciate all advice from people who know these cars! I am currently looking at this one because it is just spectacular looking (although a bit out of my budget!) does anyone know anything about it??: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201406175078961/usedcars?logcode=visc Or maybe this one too (bit more realistic): http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201311220080324/usedcars?logcode=visc I am really looking for an untouched car which is as standard as possible as this will help with insurance and hopefully maintenance fees!? Does anyone recommend any dealers/inspection firms as i would like to have any car i was going to buy checked over beforehand to save on any nasty surprises down the line.. Cheers in advance for any and all advice!

I am about to purchase my first Subaru Forester and would like to know how reliable they are and if there is anything I should be aware of or need to check before I part with any money. Advice and suggestions gratefully received. Also if I go ahead with the purchase does anyone know where I can buy a set of wind deflectors for the 2004 model. Many thanks -
