• 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.

    No way, they're awesome

  • I absolutely love the SF, I actually think it's the best looking Forester but I suspect I'd be shooting myself in the foot to go with one for the engine swap I'm planning as it's smaller than the SG and I suspect the space will be wanted...

    This one is about perfect although I'd consider wheels an inch smaller in diameter and suspension a hair's breadth lower. They must be two tone also unless they're the facelift model like @mi7rennie's red one.

  • I'm kind of enjoying this Forester chat. But I don't live in the Australian outback like @>>>>>>. Linking in my whinge about the ULEZ and my diesel estate car. Any other suggestions for a vehicle that fits the @hugo7 'utility dad vibe'?

    Things I love about my current vehicle:

    • Two adults in the back, camping equipment for four in the boot, four bikes on the towbar, nothing on the roof.
    • Comfy seats, decent economy, need to drive to Italy in a day sometimes.
    • Far too many knobs and whistles and luxury bits.
    • Galvainised body.

    Forrester is on the right lines, but maybe too utilitarian for the motorway driving it will realistically be used for.
