Hi all,
Im looking at buying a myself a forester x ( '03-'05 ish) and keep on hearing 2 recurring comments about them.
(A) They have extremely high service costs.
(B) They guzzle petrol.
Im pretty much sold on all the aspects of the forester and am really keen but obviously these to points need to be considered.
As for the servicing, are there people getting ripped off out there? and the cost of servicing isn't really that bad? Can anyone perhaps offer some typical costs of major/minor services?
And as for the fuel economy, are the manufacture figures of 10L/100km City and 7.2L/100km Highway a reality? or do you find the actual economy to be different?
Im sure these questions have probably been asked 1000 times before but id really like to hear some recent comments, especially regarding the servicing.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Hutchie
