Great video. Interesting to hear how you found the car, I had a similar experience too. I was never a big Subaru head, but something about the Forester really appealed to me. Love mine, the only thing I miss about my old car (mkV Golf diesel) is the fuel consumption 🙈 Thanks for solving the mystery of the ‘Power’ button on the auto and the mystery smell of burnt oil after a drive 👍🏻
@@spacedkadett thanks a lot for your comment dude! As you said, there’s something about Foresters that catches your eye. The fuel consumption is definitely a big downside 😂 I am glad it did help you learn a bit more about your car. Keep that Forester going! 🤘🏽
Wonderful cars mate i used to own a Subaru Forester Turbo S year 2000. These are very special cars it went everywhere, and as you said in the video they have loads of room incredible daily drivers. I love the XT's like yours they are going up in value now
@@JustinD93 I love the earlier models too! They get overlooked by a lot of people, but in my opinion once you own one, you will love it forever. You are right, they are going up, unfortunately a few months ago someone crashed into my Forester… so it’s been off the road for 2 months now… but I will be fixing it soon! Thanks for your comment 🤘🏽
@@ElLocoRodilI wish I never sold mine, it was a 5 speed manual too which they are very rare to find. Regret getting rid of it someone offered me a swap for a BMW X5 3.0 PETROL SPORT AUTO. At the time I loved it big lazy auto 231bhp a lot lot quicker than the forester but it was the forester unfortunately the guys I did the deal with ruined the forester unfortunately was gutted spent a fortune keeping it nice. Aww man hope you get it sorted soon 👌 love the Jimny you got it's ace! Could be my next car and old Jimny I know they rust for fun but they have so much character. Do you recommend a Jimny I would only be doing 4 miles a day in it to work and back around town that's it
@ it is hard to someone ruin something you put so much time and effort into it… but unfortunately not everyone looks after the cars the way we do. I am hoping mine will be back in action by May 🤞🏽 Thanks a lot man! I do love my Jimny, they do rust easily 😂 but they are so much fun to drive mostly if you doing short journeys, they warm up quickly and they are good in fuel too. My Jimny is mechanical transfer box, I heard the electric ones cause more issues, so I would go for an earlier model in my opinion.
@@ElLocoRodil yea it's annoying I'm a through and through petrol head from superbikes to all sorts of cars i love it! I'm a jap car man mainly they are just well built and reliable aren't they, just a shame they all rust. Yes I've heard about the transfer box. I'd be looking at a very early Jimny if I can find one but most are rotten dude unfortunately. MX5's are incredible cars I've had a few of them extremely reliable, drift for fun and cheap to run. I don't enjoy sitting in low cars anymore though 🤣

I’ve had a couple of Forester’s over the years. Fantastic cars, especially in the bad Scottish weather. The rust got to mine in the end
@@Meikle-Ed Good to hear that man!
Unfortunately rust is our biggest enemy… and it hurts when we gotta let go
Great video mate.
@@keeshectors8261 thanks a lot man!

Ooooof. The tax. My renewal just come in. I’m trying not too think about it. But think it’s circa £750!!!
Currently have my rear quarters cut out and having new ones fitted. As well as paint throughout, some mods and additional aero.
