any owners of the late 08 to 2009 or later 2.0 forester?

 

Are they underpowered?

 

Thinking of getting a used 2.0 or 2.5XT

my previously own 2009 2.0 forester. the pick-up is not that fantestic. Once reaches 80km/h, is good . Road holding is good although the centre of gravity is high.

Please do. The 2.5 would be a better drive. There will be more modiffication can be done if you are keen.

Yeah. Just saw the price list. Dropped about $9K from previous bidding. Got special discount of $10K for previous models too.

Tempted.... [:p]

2.5 is prev model. 4spd auto. No SI Drive.

 

Latest only 2.0 turbo. Though in the brochure there is a 2.0NA Premium model but it won't be brought in.

 

 

Ahhh i c. Anyway just hope the price drop jialat jialat for the next 2 mths. Heartpain to spend so much on new car so i probably wouldn't. [laugh]

 

Aiming for 08 or 09 2.5XT (most prob)

 

Just need feedback from bros here about the NEGATIVE pts.

I did a google on Subaru Forester problems. Got a link on the 08-09 models. Early batches of the 2.5XT had issues. Have a read. Not sure those were imported to S'porean though.
