It's a shame Subaru discontinued the Forester XT. It's sporty yet still practical. Subaru faithful have begged for the XT to come back. The current Forester isn't bad but it could use the 2.4T from the Outback XT.
if they put at least the same transmission the BRZ has, it would sell better... some people into sports version of a SUV, does not like the CVT trans at all.
just upgraded my car from a 99' legacy outback to a 16' fozzy XT and Good LORD. The turbo sounds make me giggle every time. i threw on an exhaust and WOW. THIS IS MY DREAM CAR.PRACTICALITY FOR A DAD but sounds of a WRX
A friend of mine let me take his Forrester around the block just to check it out. I was impressed with the get up and go for what it is. I also met someone about five years ago with a newer one that was manual. That was cool too.
The dark wheels arent factory. Fun fact, it's actually the same rims that come on the touring that are on the premium, just the previous owner plasti-dipping them black.
The rear seats also slightly recline and I think that is the same between the premium and touring. The front Seats have partial leather or fake leather, just the middle part is cloth. One thing I like a lot is that the front headrests are adjustable and not stationary.
Somebody definitely cooked in that forester. The trim pieces for the premium version doesn’t come factory with carbon fiber, it doesn’t come with that front lip or fog lights.
I have had my 2015 for since it was delivered new. Still haven’t found a replacement. 2018s are still selling for close to 30k with lower miles , I paid 29k for mine 9 years ago !!!
I'm pretty sure the wheels were the same between the premium and touring. At least here in the States. When I bought mine (I go the premium), there was a Touring and the Premium and both had the same wheels.
I have a 2018 Subaru Forrester Premium and I noticed that the small screen between the gauges on my car is white with black digits, rather than black on white digits as on this car. Wonder if that was excusive to the XT since I find the one I have a bit hard to read in direct sunlight.
The Touring does but not the premium like this one. I know cuz I have the XT Premium and have halogens. That is the one thing I wish I had from factory.
