Hi All,

The wife's Forester is just about due for a trade, so I'm gunna be soon looking at a new Forester XT. This time I'm not letting her getting a NA Forester again! I can't handle the lack of a turbo!!

I have a couple of questions.

1) Has Subaru fixed the engine failures with the 2.5L Turbos that I have seen in Foresters.

2) I know it will never handle like my STi but I'm thinking of throwing on some thicker sway bars. Will that make any difference to a Forester's handling?

Cheers
Zombee :)

think you will be fine with an XT purchase mate

quite happy with ours but I have done a fair bit of modding to it sways included.
