SBT Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Does it have a cat in the uppipe? Not if it has that ridiculous air pump. That's the start-up/idle tradeoff - performance versus emission. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 ...the other annoyance is the audio system - which is slightly worse than the '05 LGT. The only question is: is it replaceable? If it is, there you go. Sucks that it costs more money, but Legacy isn't, and that isn't even a real option.

Sucks that it costs more money, but Legacy isn't, and that isn't even a real option. If I had the money/will, yes - the whole audio system can be swapped out on the Forester XT. Could get a double-din unit, replace speakers, add amps, etc... Stock is where it is staying for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was wondering how long it would take COBB to get the AP out for the Forreys. Did you use the AP with your LGT? If not, you're in for a really nice bump in performance out-of-the-box. Nothing earth shattering certainly, but definitely nice nonetheless. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 That's what I thought. Seems like the mod-bug has bitten you.

SuperhawkLGT Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 So I am going to order an XT limited tomorrow, I got the invoice pricing from cars101 . com. Is there any other info I should know? I got the dealer to cut the installation of all the accessories in half and am getting a rate of 4.9% am I missing anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayoutwest Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I would keep pushing on that one ... I just called my fleet manager here and they are doing $2000 off INVOICE + 4.9% for up to 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be a unique dealer. FXT's are rare like gold now and the dealers in my area are doing nothing like that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver133 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Had to share this with everyone. I usually never take my cell phone with me when I go to the beach, but did this weekend. The city of Coronado uses this. A 2009 Subaru Forester as the Lifeguard vehicle. My wife and I are in need of a 2nd car and I think a red forester is on the horizon. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j50/denver133/n72203397_31275397_185.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I see its a NA forester. Guess they wouldn't want sand getting in the intercooler of an XT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec B Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Just picked up my wife's 09 FXT limited w/navi..i am really impressed so far! We traded in her 06 Tribeca...the forester is almost as roomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, I thought I read somewhere that the rear seat legroom is slightly greater in the Forester than the Tribeca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec B Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 ^ It is...it is just a tad narrower. The wierd thing is, the exterior dimensions are much smaller but the interior only gives up a little in the trunk and width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wierd thing is, the exterior dimensions are much smaller but the interior only gives up a little in the trunk and width. I suppose the Tribeca just isn't as space-efficient. Then again, Subaru moved the Impreza up to the Legacy platform, and the 2010 Legacy is supposed to be on the Tribeca platform, and the '09 Forester competes on interior space with the Tribeca, so it only makes sense for the next-gen Tribeca to grow some. I have no complaints about the Tribeca's interior space other than the fact that you can't really use the middle and rear seats at the same time with normal sized people. It's really a five+2, not a 7-pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
