2000 Subaru Forester GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Family Car and Sports Car rolled into one - stock V8 killer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission oil leak - fixed at dealer turbo upgrade to WRX TD04L - wow, big difference
cup holder in console broken.
General comments?
Great family transport, wife loved it
Very robust vehicle, I know, hit a concrete pole
Super quick with WRX turbo upgrade on 12 pounds of boost and much larger furl pump
OK with one child, need bigger car for 2 kids
Black is hard to keep looking good
Eats V8's for brekky, ultimate sleeper, quicker than 350 ci, 5.7 liter Holden Commodore manual - 13.7 quarter mile
Handles great, awesome traction
Taken to Australias Fraser Island and didn't need to get pulled out, very lucky I guess, only under body protection took one for team.
