So I just got done reading through this http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/55509-Forester-ExPo-Subaru-Project
Very cool but it appears to have just ended a year ago. Curious where that ended up? Probably a forgotten about daily driver by now. That sure did seem like a cursed car with all the issues it had. All the way through it seemed that everyone was very confident in the ej25 platform and eventually I'm sure it all got ironed out.
Really getting into these foresters now, considered the outbacks for a bit, but now stuck on foresters possibly the 2000-2005 models as prices aren't much worse in my area. I would definitely look at an outback if price was amazing but for some reason I'm liking the forester more. Even found some 5 speeds locally which I didn't think would be likely. so manual vs auto? any issues with those? Seems like the auto box holds up well and is well liked, same with the manual, of course its more rugged and drivable which is going to win me over in the end.
Received a lot of great info from the portal and the guys in this thread, really appreciate this site and it's wealth of knowledge on adventurous vehicles.
