Forester STi or 159 estate [in TI spec]..I just cant decide!

[BUG4LIFE]

The TI spec 159 is just soooo good looking, the STi Forester is a proper cult car and proper fast. I just don't know which estate I'd want.

That is all

Fast I reckon....no no, the TI is just too good looking to ignore...but I do like the look of the Forester too [especially in blue]...but those alloys on the Alfa are perfect...I can't ignore 350bhp though...

That. Definitely that.

My OH couldn't argue that it isn't a family car

159's got a great interior and looks beautiful, but get the DPF and EGR removed.. ASAP! Had no end of troubles with my 159 because of it..

Or maybe the petrol V6?

Tough call. Love the 159 TI (in black), but Forester STI is a great car as well.

Got really excited by this...

...until I saw it was a 2010 post. :-(

Oh yeah sorry buddy, I was just searching for a pic of one, rather than one currently for sale over here! Pat on the back for the first person to post a link to an EVO estate

If you can get one sure, there quite thirsty but it's a lovely engine also keep an eye out for chain rattles as there were mentions of them stretching. The 159 2.4 diesels are fine if your doing the mileage to clear the DPF, I take mine out for around 80 miles end of every month just to get the regen properly going. My mates 260 Bhp 2.4 with DPF / EGR / MAP is a seriously quick car.

If a diesel becomes a must in the future, the 2.4 159 TI estate would be top of my list....or should that be a 330d?!?!
