2014 Forrester
 

Looking at replacing the misses car later on in the year and this is one car that we have singled out as a potential purchase.
Still doing our research, test drives, etc at the moment but I would love to hear back from any one who has owned or currently owns a 2014 Forrester.

Turbo Diesel or Turbo Petrol ?

There are reported acceleration issues relating to hose clamp failures of all things. A good aussie thread on the subject here [url=http://ozfoz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=42036]OzFoz.com • Login[/url]

Only concerned about Turbo Petrol at this point in time.
I have heard a couple of minor issues over at Whingepool (they have a thread dedicated to the 2013 release).
I'll look over at OzFoz over the weekend!

I reckon they are good value.

Haven't heard of this before.
Last time I sat in a XV it felt a lot smaller than the Forrester.

correct the XV is smaller than the SJ Forester

If you can wait I'd hang on too see when the Levorg is coming to Aust.

The levorg has peaked my interest as well, however one of the requirements for the new car is to be higher than than the car that it will be replacing.
The height of the Forrester is good.
