Subaru Forester

Congratulations on your Forester!

YUMMY!!!




The Sydney Motor Show doesn't grab the full attention of the global media like Paris or Geneva, though this latest bit of news from Subaru certainly piques our interest. We had heard rumblings of a more potent Subaru crossover before, and now this, the Forester S-Edition concept, previews what the automaker says is "an exciting development in our Forester range" set to debut early next year.

Subaru has boosted the Forester XT's turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four up to 259 horsepower and 256 pound-feet of torque, gains of 32 and 20, respectively over the normal Australian model. That power runs through a five-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters (a proper stick-shift would be preferred, Subaru), and a new variable torque distributing all-wheel-drive system keeps things in check on the road. Other enhancements include a revised sport suspension, 17-inch STI wheels, Alcantara seat trim and S-Edition badging throughout.

Forester STI redux? Certainly sounds like it. Our only hope is that Subaru doesn't make this hot new Forester a JDM-only affair. (Fingers crossed!) Hit the jump to read the full details in Subaru's press release.

Good Morning! Can someone PM me the name and contact information of a good sales executive of MI? The person I talked to when I visited the showroom was not very knowlegeable. My questions were not answered to my satisfaction.

Thanks,

If your definition of good sales executive is one who can answer your technical questions, maybe you can ask Alvin of service na lang.

However, if you want a good sales executive who will take care of you, I'd recommend Mel Adriano.

ps.

Curious lang ako, ano yung tanong mo na 'di nasagot?

[renzo_d10]

If you have questions, resort ka nalang dito sa tsikot. ;)

FXT owners, do you feel there's excessive vibration while idle? like the car's body is too flimsy for the power of the engine? although in motion, you dont feel the vibrations..

[arnoldc]

Body is not flimsy. It's the boxer engine, try to change your gas to V-Power.

thanks arnoldc. i've been filling her up with caltex gold, didn't imagine the type of gas would have an effect. will try filling her up with v-power next time

Thank you for the information. I will look for Mel Adriano.

My question was about the symetrical AWD but the response I got was about the boxer engine : )

the subaru's awd is only the best in it's class, only audi and other really expensive cars can compete with it.

Mel Adriano probably won't be able to answer technical questions so just look for Alvin in the service departmen, i'm sure he'll be able to answer your technical questions.

[arnoldc]

Mismo. I was loyal to CaltexGold, until... read my thread here - http://subarusociety.org/forum/showt...l-types-brands
