• I've put up an advert to sell my Cooper S and if it sells for asking price I'm going to replace it with a Subaru...

    I'm at an absolute deadlock in terms of choosing between two models so I'd love anyone who cares to make a comment to chime in.

    The plan is to do an engine/ transmission swap in either one so engine and gearbox won't be a factor in the decision making...

    Pre-Facelift Forester SG (the blue one)

    or

    Legacy Outback BP (the silver one)

  • I love those foresters, will it be easy to find one that isn't rusty?

  • Surely these vehicles should be raised, not lowered.

  • Legacy would be my choice. Foresters are undeniably cool but can bit a bit 'raw'. From my very limited experience the Legacy would make a better refined cruiser/sleeper, but no idea if that's what you're going for.

  • I love that Forester, there's a red one near me that looks very much like that one... I think it beats the pants off that Legacy lookswise...

  • Team Forester here. Albeit the 2006, 2.5l facelift version. Love it. Huge boot, plenty of power. Rust spots are the rear strut towers apparently.

    This is a very ugly car. Their appeal is the utility dad vibe.

    Modding them, reminds me of people modding Sierras in the late '90s.
