jlee's new daily driver thread - looking at a Forester XT. Update - now buying FXT!

Is there nothing that can be done for snow/salt? Not even like rubberized bed liner type undercoating?

Undercoating helps, but stuff still rusts. I will probably oil undercoat this one.

I live not far from there. I've ridden through Camp Pendleton on my bicycle many times.

Can your hear the DIs going off on fresh recruits? I remember playing golf near Parris Island and you can hear them exploding 😀 😀

I am jealous, nice ride you got there 🙂

I'm not that close but every once in a great while I can hear the percussion of training rounds. It's like a very muffled boom boom off in the distance...I'm sure it's much worse on base though.

Watch out for the head gasket. Use subaru's coolant and coolant conditioner!

Nice choice jlee! There have been a few Foresters in the not-immediate family, and a few Legacies in the immediate. We have good experiences with Subaru. My relatives who had a Forester ended up buying a newer one. They seem to be quite pleased with them.

I remember reading about the XT being pretty quick too, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

That MR2 in the back looks unhappy and lonely. It just want's a hug.

I rescued that from a friend...it was sitting for years (want to say 6?). I'm hoping to bring her back to life but I don't have much in the way of $ for that. :/

It looks sweet! Another cheeky and easy mod is adding water spray for the TMIC. Plenty of guides online!
