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

[S10GTA]

Fast or good looking?

[BUG4LIFE]

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...

159 for me. Colour depending obviously.

+1 if you can afford the fuel then go for it. Super rare, v fast, practical.

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?

Forester STI, proper cool car IMO.

Edit to add. THAT Evo!

Another vote for the forester STi (cos I want one)although that mizzi looks the dogs.

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

Got really excited by this...

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.

Forester or that amazing Evo for sure. Very little depreciation too.

I disagree on the V6. It's a lump and you'll wish you'd spent less and bought a 156 GTA
