I've got a 2007 one here in Iceland, they're incredibly popular because they work so well while still being pretty comfortable. Great option for a first car
Just sold my 06 Foz. Great car. Manuel normally aspirated. Sold with 335,000kms on the clock. Things to look out for. Major services are pricey (above R20k). Engine work like gaskets are pricey because of boxer engine. Mine was drinking oil. Parts can be a bit tricky if you are off the beaten track. Low range is not a true low range. Otherwise, a lovely little car and remarkably capable.
"You can fit the golf clubs, the kids, and the wife in there"... Like what sort of car doesn't fit the wife? This really made me think... But overall good points. Forester owner from PH.
A/S. Fuji Heavy Industries has lost their way after Toyoda Motor Corporation has taken out Subaru Technica International ! Those current versions this last decade with the CVT gearbox expire just outside the 5 year/100,000km warranty, with the costly R100k CVT auto' replacement ? V.
Surprising how well the old forester held up on those tracks, might buy one for my first car
cool option for first car

@@IMPULZEiV nothing special really, around 10L/100km on average I'd say

I just tried 2007forester in a 30cm snow. Fully stock. No problem at all. But break a mud flap.
Thanks for the feedback, at home on snow.
