2013 model Forester XT
Discussion
Its quick, it has very subtle styling and very well equipped.
It has pretty much every bell and whistle that you would ever want or need. The voice recognition is crap and the sat nav is a tad old school but then I find most factory fit ones are. They come standard with rear camera- however I don't trust them so we fit park assist to every one of our demo's.
The seats whilst being very comfy could do with a bit bolstering- as you do slip and slide a bit around a spirited bend.
The gearbox I think works well with the engine but then I normally drive with the paddle shifts. The overtaking capability is excellent however I find it works best if you don't use the--kickdown--. The brakes are okay however we do try and be a bit gentle with our demo's.
I only ever use the Sport mode on the VCD settings. Sport Sharp is far to aggressive for my liking.
The elecric tailgate works well and has two heights one for normal and one to let your dog in.
Overall I am very impressed by the XT and if I was in the market for a car I would seriously consider. If you have any specific questions please don't hesitate.
We have a Silver one in stock and have fitted mats, side protectors, rear boot mat, park assist and tailgate guard. This is for sale and has just been reduced to £27995.

Have been browsing the subaruforester.org site, looking at member mishaps http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f98/ - makes me want to get one a bit more!
This could be my next car if I can wean myself off my 2011 forester diesel. Took one out for a run from Carstins in Coventry and was seriously quick but comfortable. The CVT seemed to be much improved over one I had in a 2.5 legacy. My only issue was seat bolstering too. Other than that fab.
