Question Anyone have a Forester XT?

I'm considering picking up a 2004 Forester XT. Anybody around here have one I could check out? Any gripes about them, etc? Oh, I live in Sacramento.

Ive seen a couple of them, I would drive one. I dont think the lesbians will like the hoodscoop, it will be opressive some how.

And apparently the STI hoodscoops fit on it. So you can make it even more offensive!

If you went to UC Santa Cruz film department...they would call the scoop a "gaping vag-ina"

My bro in law spent 2 hours in a lecture about how JAWS is a sexual fear to men...the shark is a big vagaja with teeth trying to bite our cacks off. What a waste of taxpayer money

Now back to your regularly scheduled forester thread.

My mom test drove one and I got a chance to drive it. It sure impressed me even though it was an auto.

If I was in the market right now it would be on my short list of cars to buy.

I went down and test drove an auto today. Car and Driver wasn't joking when they said it's only a .75 on the skid pad. Those mud and snow tires sure don't grip well, although they're not supposed to. I was pretty impressed with the acceleration (even though it was an auto). They're searching the country for a 5MT in white for me. Apparently they're hard to come by. I might end up ordering one from the factory.

The best part is, almost all Impreza mods will fit it.

I moved a lot of mine over to my XT

Been super happy with it so far. No Lesbians though, must be the carseats in the back...

Poke around here for more Forester info, quite a few XT owners too:

The forester is pretty sweet, but it can't take corners. too bad.
