2014 Forester XT Review

[buster]

Overpriced, weak interior and no MT option. Not bad, but not worth what they are asking. I'd take the 100 less hp and get the CrossTrek.

or just get the non-xt model?

its available with 174hp and a 6mt.

starts at ~~20k

subaru hasnt offered a turbo-charged MT Forester since? 2008? so this isnt news.

^ +1.

I definitely agree with that.

first gen XT's are far superior. of course i am biased (see sig)

Funny if you have the money a MT transplant in 2009-2013 is pretty cookie cutter.

Heck even an STI transplant is easy, plug & play as far as electronics go something that was never the case previously.
