I have owned this Forester since May 2021 It has been utterly reliable during my ownership. It is in superb, clean condition throughout and comes from a non-smoking household. A much cherished and very well looked after car. Rear Seats have hardly ever been sat on. Service prior the Spark Plugs were replaced with Genuine OEM one's along with Timing Belt, Water Pump, Tensioners & Pulleys, Fan Belt. Oil and Filters change etc. Recent Front Suspension, Offside Front Drive Shaft, Brake Pads all round and New Front Discs, Cleaned & Serviced Climate Control A/C System. Brand New Power Steering Pump and Very Recent Replacement Battery with a Varta one. Expensive but worth every penny in my opinion as the last Varta Battery I replaced lasted Sixteen Years on an Audi I had. If looked after, this car in future years will surely become a valuable Collectors Classic. Known Faults; Hill Assist stopped working a couple of years ago and I didn't worry about getting it fixed. I did look into it briefly by doing some online digging and discovered that a new part at the time wasn't all that expensive. TBH great feature to have if you tow, but I don't. Further Reading The following information immediately below is from an article I found off a Subaru Media Webpage, dated 16th May 2005. In which, it describes the ProDrive Performance Pack or PPP for short; "It brings down the Forester's 0-60 mph time from an already remarkable 6.0 to 5.5 seconds, with the 0-100 mph time slashed from 17.9 to 15.5 seconds. Equally important is the boost to engine flexibility. Torque grows from a prodigious 236 lb.ft at 3,600 rpm to 272.8 lb.ft at 3,500 rpm. Meanwhile, maximum power is at 5,500 instead of 5,600 rpm for the 211 PS version. The result is a cut in the 30-50 mph time in fourth gear from 5.8 to 5.1 seconds and the 50-70 mph time coming down from 4.8 to 4.3 seconds. Higher up the speed range the 70-90 mph times are reduced from 5.4 to 4.9 seconds in fourth and from 7.7 to 7.1 seconds in fifth. And while the Prodrive Performance Pack-equipped Forester has not been tested for top speed, the standard 2.5 XT's 140 mph is bound to be significantly improved on. Costing 1,600 including VAT and dealer fitting, the PPP is available from early June and carries Subaru's full three year/60,000 warranty. It comprises a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and modified exhaust system"
