Default Must be new Forester day...

So after 3 years (since the wally in the crappy micra wrote off my WRX wagon) of Golf R's, family trucks and other metal, i'm finally in a Forester. So good to finally scratch the STi itch (quiet at the back)

Picked her up last weekend and am loving it. I think the dog has begun to adjust to the acceleration difference between the fozzie and the old freelander it replaces!

No way that's standard buddy the wheels are aftermarket and the ride height is lower, interested to know what she's sitting on?

Nice crispy - like that colour

See how you like the handling, for me that would be too low

It is very low but clears all the speed bumps in my area ok, which was something I was worried about at first.

The ride is quite crashy but the handling is lovely. Nice and pointy when I’m on the throttle with a tiny bit of 4 wheel drift.

It’s my fun car/dog wagon so my wife won’t be in it enough to complain!

Took it to its natural habitat, Romford retail park....couldn’t resist using the lovely neon lighting in front of Mothercare for a photo opportunity!
