That's a sweet ride you have. I've testdriven it and i can attest to its accelerative powers. The engine sound is marvelous, even gorgeous, if you know what I mean. My Forester 2.0X is brand new, too. Just got it 2nd week of July. :-)

Thanks SMQ! Yes it really is a sweet ride. I got mine 2nd week of July as well and can't wait to complete the break-in period so I can really enjoy the engine. Congrats on your new scooby, I'm sure it's a joy to drive.
