Faster to 60/100 than the 2004 STi thanks to the five speed.

I sometimes hear people complaining about the reduced turbo engines in most of Subaru's lineup nowadays. Let's not forget that they upped their reliability ranking by vastly improving their NA engines.
We all want their turbo boxers, but there's so few of them on the road for a reason lol.

My family has had 8 Forester XT's never had any engine issues.

I had lots of turbo issues

Not saying there are not issues, just with subaru it's hit or miss.

The current FA24F is a rock-solid engine though.

Don't they sell a lot of Outback XTs? They got rid of the flat six and replaced it with a Turbo 4.

The Forester would be a perfect car for me but I live in New Mexico so without a turbo I’d probably get to my destination faster if I walked lol. Praying for the return of the Forester XT

I had a 2004 XT, I wish I still had it. Or at least that somebody still made something like that.

Mine had 4 speed auto, was a pretty quick car. Terrible car to do spark plugs on. Had issues with the turbo, and subframe rust. One of the easiest cars to do oil change on, no ramps required with the ground clearance.
