Default 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.

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!

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

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.
