Ditto J.K! …. John S – no snow ?? – It must have been some amazing fake white stuff I was skiing on at Hotham a couple of years back. No rain ?? – I don’t think those fluffy dark grey things in the sky over my house presently are going to “burst into song”!! Prius – good to see you doing your thing for the planet (am not being sarcastic) just hope you have a red one BUT ….XT turbo….noice!!

Obviously you’ve never driven a turbo XT manual, John. AWD plus 300+ NM of torque and 169KW equates to 100% more FUN FUN FUN. Stick to driving your Prius mate :P

AWD (4wd) is a dumb choice. Australia is super dry, no rain, no snow or ice. Yet AWD adds about $4,000 to price of the new car, uses 15% more fuel and hence about 15% power loss. DUMB DUMB DUMB

Hi – do you have a website you can refer me to so I can start doing some research on the new generation Forester due in Australia in 2008 – thanks.

The new 2007 model would be the go,
although there is an extra 1.5yrs warranty on the older model, the 07 will have a higher resell value plus the lower Ks will help. The extra 1.5 yrs of warranty for an older ‘used’ model does not outweight a brand new 07 0km model.

Given an option of 2007 new Forester XS Luxury with normal 3yr warranty or 2006 XS Luxury with 7000km ex-executive with 4 and half yrs of warranty left, which would be the best choice if price was the same?

Yes you are right greg, it seems somewhat odd that Subaru continue to put the 4 speed auto in the Forester whilst the liberty comes with the 5 speed auto.

I don’t think a 6 speed auto would be needed for a 2.5L engine, but the 4 speed is somewhat outdated.

We as a family have owned and enjoyed different subarus over the last few years but before i buy my next one i would like to know when the auto in the luxury forester will get at least a five if not a six speed auto.
