About this 2004 Subaru Forester XT (Turbocharged):

I am the original and only owner of this Subaru Forester XT. The majority of the miles on this vehicle are from highway driving which explains why I got 187,000 miles from the original clutch, which was still good when it got replaced by the Subaru dealer in July 2012. Prior to this the only other major repair was with the timing belt and two timing valves being replaced in January 2011. I religiously took this car into Jiffy Lube every 3,000 mile for oil changes and have had the transmission and transfer case oils changed several times as well. In March 2013 the check engine light came on and I took it to Subaru to be checked. I was told it was caused by a misfire and they reset the on-board computer. I drove it several days and then the light came back on. By the time I made it to Subaru the light went out by itself, however the code was still coming up as a misfire. I commute 130 miles each day to work and felt with 207,370 miles on a car that has served me well, it was time to buy another (Yep, I enjoyed this car so much, I bought a new 2014 Subaru Forester again). So where does this leave you the potential buyer? You will be buying a car that has been taken care of and properly routinely serviced. However, it does require some attention and is being sold "as-is" with the following known facts:

In need of service:

The front bumper is misaligned slightly from hitting a deer while going about 25 mph. The deer got up and ran away; however, left a dimple on the front bumper, on the passenger side. The dimple poped itself out over the summer, but there is a small gap to where the bumper fits next to the passenger front panel (see photo).
The trip meter is functional but will not reset zero.
The front driver's seat has the edge of the leather worn on the drivers side and has cracked.
The driver's side floor mat has a hole from wear, also the carpet under the mat is worn with a hole.
There is one fog light in the front that needs replacing accessible from under the car (these seems to go out every couple of years).
The check engine light has come on about four times, it is currently off (see pictures). This will need to be serviced for inspection.
The front of the hood has some chips from constant highway driving.
The mudflap on the passenger rear tire has a rub mark wear a car rubbed against it (no body damaged occurred).

Maintenance History:

Oil and filter routinely change every 3,000 miles.
Differential and transmission fluid changed every couple of years.
May 19, 2012 Windshield was replaced. (these cars are rock magnets on the highway).
January 13, 2011 Timing belt and two timing valves were replaced because of rough idle.
July 23, 2012 The clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and bearings were replace at 185,000 mile.
April 2013 was retired and is stored inside my garage.

Condition and Features:

6 Disc factory CD Player
Heated front seats.
Rearview mirror dims and has built-in compass.
Fog Lights
Air condition works great!
Good tires and brakes all the way around (see photos)
Aluminum Alloy Rims in good condition.
Newly replaced windshield
Newly replace timing belt, and gaskets.
Newly replace clutch, flywheel, pressure plate and bearing.
Start right up and runs very good.

Conclusion:

I was the one and only owner of this car. It has been taken care of properly and had all its routine services performed. I have many receipts to show all work performed. The car has been in minor accidents and each were reported to my insurance agent. The car had never suffered any major body or frame damage nor has it required me to have any bodywork done to it. Many of the miles driven on this car were highway miles, This car does need service to fix the intermittent check engine light. The car vin IS: JF1SG69674G763747 (see photo) and it is currently being stored inside my garage.

2016 Subaru WRX and STI get new safety, tech equipment

Fri, Apr 24 2015

The Subaru WRX and STI were just thoroughly revamped, but the Japanese brand has decided to tweak the offerings slightly for the 2016 model year. The changes include some upgraded safety systems, and as a possible blasphemy to fans, a smaller wing is being offered on the STI. The latest versions should hit dealers in the summer, but prices grow slightly. A base WRX is $300 more than last year at at $26,595 (plus $795 destination on all of them), and the cheapest STI is $34,695, a $200 increase. The WRX is undoubtedly fun to drive already, but the Premium and Limited trims now ride on standard 18-inch wheels with summer performance tires. For added in-car entertainment, Subaru is giving all models, including the STI, its 6.2-inch Starlink infotainment system that includes a rearview camera. Vehicles with navigation get a seven-inch version. Driving a WRX might be just a little safer too because Subaru is offering its EyeSight system with adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist as an option on the Limited with the CVT. It's packaged with things like the nav system, upgraded radio, keyless start, and steering-responsive foglights for $4,095. The same trim with the six-speed manual gets a similar bundle but replaces some of the safety tech with just blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert for $3,100. In perhaps the most contentious change, the STI Limited trim is now available with a tiny, trunk lip spoiler as a no-cost option. Seeing the aggressive sedan without the big wing certainly looks odd in photos, and it's still available for buyers who want it.

2015 Subaru Legacy, Outback crash their way to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The Subaru Legacy and Outback are the latest vehicles to be awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most prestigious safety title, Top Safety Pick+.
As we've explained many times before, this only applies vehicles that can score an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating on the five IIHS crash tests and earn at least a "Basic" rating for crash prevention systems.
In the Legacy's case, it totally aced IIHS's testing, earning "Good" scores on the small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact tests, while also bringing home the top "Superior" rating for its optional EyeSight system.

Subaru WRX STI vs. Audi S3 in compact AWD dustup

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

It's not every day that a Subaru and an Audi can be reasonably compared head-to-head; the two brands tend not to compete directly in their respective segments. However, the latest WRX STI and the S3 Sedan offer the perfect chance to find out if the working-class Scooby can beat its upper-crust competitor.
The UK's Auto Express gets behind the wheel of these two all-wheel drive performance sedans, or saloons as the Brits call them. Across the pond, both of them are rated at an identical 296 horsepower, but the Subaru edges out the Four Rings on torque. Like in the US, British buyers have to pay a little more to get the Audi, but it comes with a nicer interior and more brand cachet, if that means anything to you.
The video starts out with a fairly standard road test comparing the two of them back-to-back - all fairly subjective. But then Auto Express takes the trip to the drag strip, and the results there are much more conclusive. There's a definite winner when they cross the line, but you have to scroll down to see which of these turbocharged models with rallying heritage wins out.
