MY11 - Foresters? Thoughts

Post by indy » Sun Nov 30, 2014 9:10 am

Hey guys, my parents are looking at getting rid of their 04 X-trail and getting a suby! They're currently Looking at a 2011 Forester (MY11, X S3) Manual with 50k on the odometer.

Just wondering is there any known problems that have come up with these models? Done a bit of googling and haven't seen anything major, but figured this is the place to check!

I know when i was looking at getting my GEN3 outback a few years back the things to look for was centre diff, dual mass flywheel problems etc. With the L-series it was the CV joints. Anything fail prematurely with the later model forrys or too early to tell?

Just trying to get the general thoughts on this model of forrys, any help would be greatly appreciated!

We have a 2010 turbo diesel premium and I cannot fault it :) but people have had DPFissues.

I take it you are looking at the 2.5 petrol model. I haven't heard any issues with them.
