2012 Subaru Forester 2.0D Premium
Hi All,
I thought I would share a couple of pictures with you of my new Turbo Diesel Forester...
In the near future I would also like to install:
- a nudge bar
- a tow bar
- LED lights on nudge bar
- xenon fog lights
- a small lift
The Husband keeps telling me that I am not getting a lift in it but I am sure once we start going off-road in it he will be quickly convinced

The diesel has been great so far, we are only half way through our second tank It's a bit sluggish down in the lower revs but once you get her in the 2.5 rev range and the turbo kicks in there's no stopping her
Another reason we went for the diesel over the petrol was because I really wanted the premium model but also wanted a manual gearbox. The turbo petrol premium models all seemed to be automatics or CVTs
We haven't gone offroad properly yet, just a dirt road (which was very compacted) on our way home from picking her up. I am really looking foward to getting her out in some mud

A dirt road on the way home from the dealer? Very cool lolTigger wrote:just a dirt road (which was very compacted) on our way home from picking her up. I am really looking foward to getting her out in some mud
Yes, I think she's wanting some mud on her tyres

The break-in period for the Diesels is 1,600kms, ours is an ex Subaru executives car and has 10,000kms on the clock so it's already through the break-in time I have read though that it takes around 15,000kms for the fuel economy side of things to level itself out...
We took her for a trip through the 14 River Crossings track yesterday out at Killarney and she did really well (I still think a small lift would be of great benefit ) She even got a little mud on her
The Husband agrees that a bash plate would be beneficial
We also opened her up a little on a straight bit of road - not the smoothest of surfaces being a back road out in the sticks but it still had good visibility and got her up to 170km/h and had only just changed to 6th gear so she still a fair bit to go!
