Any Bros driving the above? wanna hook up?

Don't think we'd be getting this in Singapore. But it looks pretty nice. The headlights look pretty cool. But the car looks like it has a buldging "forehead". Interior's got nothing to shout about.

1. Test drove the Forester and IMHO, a better choice over Accord 2.4, Legacy 2.0 and Mondeo. Going for about 88k with full accessorices. Turbo Boxer 2.0 177BHP engine, 4WD, Cruise Control, ABS, Conti style steering and 4 airbags. The driving experience is great! Legacy does not have spacious rear cabin and the steering is pretty light, I like a firmer steering. 2. Forester is a spacious SUV, though look more a truck to me. The look is deceiving, it actaully drives like a sedan car. Heard that they may be discontinuing the 2.0T and bringing in 2.5T when the current stock exhausted, may need further confirmation. 3. Not much choice in term of color only, blue, black and sliver. 4. I wonder in term of specs, does it match up with more premium brand like Volvo XC series. 5. Welcome the comments from the current Forester Owner and other constructive comments who don't favour this make too. Thank you. Regards,

Hey guys, any TC drivers here that can recommend a place and a BOV to install? My friend just wants to install for the fun of it, not really for performance or super loud sounds, but audible enough lah Your 2 cents worth appreciated

In between Honda CRV, toyota RAV4 , Mit Airtrek turbo and subaru forester which would you pick. So far, I only test drive Forester 2.0XT turbo only, generally quite like the car on performance,handling and comfort level, but lack of information on reliability, maintenance cost. In term of look, CRV more modern look . thanks

I am in the market for a SUV. Test drove all Jap SUVs recently. Forester is the best among all Jap SUVs. But i wonder why there are so many CRVs and RAV4 on the road if Forester is the best? Can someone enlighten me?

Hey there, Just thought I post a pix of my car with new 17" alloys shod with Saaber's favourite Kumho but these are the KH11 which is newer than 712. They are luxury performance touring tyres. I feel they are stickier than the 712 around corners (both have AA ratings)which I think is due to the asymmetrical design of the thread. The ride comfort is now a little compromised but still not too hard (225/50R17)from my original 215/60R16. The original all terrain tyres screeched at the slightest push and now my car's handling is even better from being able to corner harder without slowing down (sometimes only lah) to having much less body roll as if there are thicker anti-roll bars. I am however, not too happy with the rim design but they are perfect for my car with the correct offset (48mm -not easily available) to weighing only 8kgs which is lighter than some non forged, branded Jap rims. I weighed it personally at Yap Bros' electronic scales to compare. The alloys are Taiwanese called RM Team.

I have decided to buy the Forester XT which is my second choice after the Saab 9-3 because the 9-3 is NOT $120K as I had thought but $136k plus. The Forester is a fantastic drive - very European but at least one of my friends can't believe I would buy such an ugly car. I don't think it is very pretty but I wouldn't say it is ugly, would you? I have narrowed down to two colours, the silver which makes it look classy or the black which looks fierce and sporty but some say like a hearse. But sometimes I wonder if I should get the Rex which is about $8K more. However, my wife says no to the Rex because of the Ah Beng image (no offence to owners out there)and the Rex would also attract unwanted attention and would get stopped every single time at any road block (not that I am usually out that late at night, really, hee! hee!) My kids love the Forester though. HELP!
