2011 Subaru Forester XC 4WD 2.0 diesel

Summary:

Classic Solid Subaru

Faults:

Battery, clutch, driveshafts, plus the usual wear and tear.

Sunroof has an annoying leak now.

Rust on wheel arches, but it is 15 years old.

General Comments:

Black Forester, big alloy wheels, smart looking older car.

Used heavily when I bought it years ago as my daily car, now kept as a reliable second car.

Decent to drive and performance is OK. 40 - 46 mpg is easily achieved on diesel.

Very spacious and comfortable.

4WD is great in winter.

A fantastic car I hope to keep for another few years despite its age.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
