I haven't had my 2017 XT Forester long, it had an AC issue and was in the shop recently. They gave me an ascent as a loaner. Between my old crosstrek and driving that ascent around for 4-5 days it made me truly realize and appreciate how great the forester is. It's the perfect balance of fun and utility. It feels miles bigger than the crosstrek and is a peanut in comparison to the way too large ascent. Love it.

Did u google vankulture? Or look at youtube? Love hondas soni went with a 3rd gen odyssey, but some of the newer maybe about 2015 or so siennas r super sick even in stock form some lool really nice add wheels n coils or bags sicl lookin daily family cruzer, but havnt driven or even sat in the new siennas so dont kmow how they compare for fun factor.

My last car was an 06 Legacy GT. Years ago when I was able to get a brand new car I thought about getting a 16 WRX. Decided on a new as it it only had 9 miles after the test drive 16 Forester XT instead. It's been the best decision I could have ever made. All of the utility and practicality in a sorta quick car. I've moved three times and it's handled it like a champ. Sierra Nevada crossings are easy. Daily to work and road trips are a comfortaboe breeze. Tons of mods keep coming as the SJ platform gets older. The only downsides to the SJXT chassis is cheap seat material in the premium trim and the limiting CVT. But as a daily it's absolutely perfect. Glad I didn't get the WRX.

I personally own just a normal old 2.0 na 5spd first gen and even that’s a blast to drive around on sticky tyres. Imagine a first gen GT forester on the same setup

Why forester instead of wrx Because I can have a forster for 3.500 € and a WRX will cost me at least 10.000 €

Just got a 04 XT, and I swear nothing really beats serving the 18 y/o in the BMW 320i a couple of car lenghts on the highway, while I'm hauling my winter tires in the back.

Came out in 98, first gen not turbocharged, folding rear seats,and sunroof came around for 2000. I own one. S model. Heated seats,power Windows,locks and leather seats. a.c. and the bad part is the Mazda transmission. It is a 4eat, which sucks bfdd. If you buy one, try for a manual transmission. 14 gallon gas tank though. Water pump is ran by the timing belt,so if you replace the pump,replace the belt and tensioner with it. It's recommended. Despite the transmission and the water pump, it is a good vehicle to own.

The RAV4 beat the Forester by a year and the CRV came out the same year as Forester. Both destroyed the Forester in sales. They also didn't have the headgasket issues or ringland issues. However, the aftermarket has been a lot kinder to the Forester, and the Subaru Forester XT is a hella fun ride. Gotta love the turbo. As for jokes, I get the vape comments all the time when people find out I drive a 2018 WRX.

This is why I love Subaru's they are even more like Legos than Hondas. There are so many build options and engine options. You have an n/a 2.5l and want to turbo it. Drop a 2.2l block in between the heads to lower the compression. Or if you want to keep it n/a put the 2.2l heads on with some cams and get like 11:1 compression. You have a 90's impreza just about every suspension or drivetrain part is interchangeable up to 06 ish.
