I think why the poster in this thread is calling it dangerous is because if a little kid runs behind it while your reversing you wont see them because they might be lower then the back window.

what a totally random thing to say. i dont see how it is any more applicable to the forester then most other normal sized vehicles.

whats the building you photographed it in front of if you dont mind me asking?

Sorry bud - missed your question there in all the excitement

It's the new business park by Farnborough Airport - I'd like to have taken some more pics but the batteries ran out on the camera

Will have to go back when the weather picks up again

Here's another pic..

Good pics, Iam surprised security didnt nab you or something. I parked near a smart new building (in a taxi bay on a sunday) and had the police called on me, charming.
I noticed a while back this model is a bit of a bargain for what it is, I do wonder how it'd look fully lowered (for the better handling) but if I had one I'd definetly dam the paintwork and go mad with it offroad somewhere.

Name me another new 5 seater with big boot that can do 0-60 in under 6 secs for 22k.

My Rav 4 will do 60 in 6.3 secs and cost me about the equivalent of £15k. Bet for the extra £7k I could get it well under 6 secs.

Of course, that's Yank prices so I'm kinda cheating.

rav4's in the UK dont come with the same engine options. so i dont think you will be getting those results out of a UK model!

Sneaky - lovely looking car, I fancy one of them myself

Prob more like £30k here then on the usual UK rip off exchange rate for cars and parts of $1 to £1

That Rav 4 sounds a bit of a beast - whats the spec on that then ?

why dont we get our cars with big engines like that?

Dr Who · 11 May 2006 at 07:06

Nice motah...

Mines a bit older, but in june the OZ Superleggeras arrive with low profile tyres, 4 pot brakes and braided lines, + lowering kit with stiffer ARB's

Do you take it for some of road and beach fun????

Very nice mate

Do you post at subaruforester or Gtrydaz ? So much more modding gear for Foresters available in the US and Oz.

Dr Who · 13 May 2006 at 06:39

Sneaky

yes I do, but not very often.. There's quite a bit of modding gear here in Cyprus, as there are a lot of forester S/Tb's...

For those that want to see how good a forester is, and missed the 5th gear comparison..
