Forester 2.0 XT Turbo 2002 Questions
Discussion
Hi,
I'm looking at these for use as a fun(ish) winter hack.
I have a couple of questions:
The one I'm looking at has 120k on it - are these more reliable than the Imprezas which I'm told have crank issues circa 80k
What is the BHP - I thought they were 170 the seller swears it's 219
EDIT - please note it is the LATER VERSION that changed on the 02/03
Any issues with them I should be aware of ?
Thanks

I have a 2003 model SG and I think you're looking at a SF. Pretty similar though. It's not 220 it's 174.
They are no more or less reliable than the Impreza as they're 90% the same car. My SG is on 110,000 with no issues other than my thicker ARBs beating up a lower arm requiring a replacement. Thats all I've had to do and get about 28mpg out of it. Magnificent cars.
The only things to look out for are the usual things like knocking at idle, blue smoke on boost, a crunchy gear change at high revs and a full service history.
This is the later version so I presume it's the SG too.They are no more or less reliable than the Impreza as they're 90% the same car.

So is yours still 174bhp ?
As I have now found 217 quoted on Wiki - which is to be infallible
