The XT Forester is a lekker quick cabbie, was one of the fastest in its day.

i know where to find overall gasket sets and silicone sealer for it

OK, I got one. Having scoffed at Subaru owners for decades, I am disappointed in myself for not doing it sooner.
Buy as new as you can afford, and dont, Don't, DON'T fiddle with the mechanicals. That way it is as dependable as other cars, and servicing cost on par with other AWD vehicles. I just had the biggest service possible done ( A + B+ C rolled into one) and it was R14k. The grin factor outshines the frown factor when filling up.

Boxer engines .

Save some bucks for when the head gaskets blow.

That is probably why I would get a Lancer Evo, over a Scooby.

I know this is not a discussion thread. Having owned three Foresters (2 x XS and 1 x Diesel), they are great cars, but owning one is like joining a cult. You can easily trade it in on another Subaru, but getting out is expensive. The XT's are thirsty but super cool, though.

Wait until a head gasket goes (and it will), engine out job.

Did you drop a Nos kit into yours as well? I know @I.am.Sam did. Bloody fast

Older EJ series engine yes. FA/FB(2012+) don't have inherent head gasket issues.

Water methanol Injection is on on my wish-list

Mine's the FA20DIT. Coming from 85-ish kw suzuki, this thing makes me want to do wild things for petrol money

R4100 + vat, overall gasket set

This is true**

Driving like I get petrol and tyres for free gets me 310km on 60 liters.
Driving like like a polite road user to Sandton office and back gets me 500km on that 60 liters
Highway cruise control at 110kmh makes calculated range 800km

It really has a wide range of consumption.
