Default New Forester

Hi all

Anyone driven one of these yet? I haven't seen any XTs around yet, but am thinking one of these might be the go for a bit more practicality than my current rex sedan (for carting around bikes)

a gtrydaz member drove one , parked his GT next to it and its noticeably bigger. Performance seems to have dropped from the earlier XTs - more lard.

Dont bother with the new Model.....go and get yourself a bargain on a new MY07-08 and spend the change on some tasteful mods.

Prices have gone up for the XT too. New XT is about $47000 on the road for a manual non-luxury model according to City Subaru.

If you want low range manual the new X and XS (NA models) still retain it
