No mods to body work with standard suspension.

She's a manual.

And yes, that part of the south coast is beautiful. My wife's family has had the holiday house at Sanctuary Point for around 20 years. We got to use it alot more when we lived in Sydney and Canberra, but still enjoy getting there most Xmas periods.

Sig changed!

New Forester XT

My wife and I finally got our new car just before Xmas - an MY06 Forester XT Luxury manual. (Silver) I was like a kid in a lollie shop at the dealership and the first few days with the car.

The RX also had thicker front drive shafts than the NA versions.

As previously stated, different suspension settings, rear LSD, rear discs and exhaust were other differences.
