Some good news!!!

I went to the dealership yesterday, and left with a deposit down for a SWP 2014 Forester XT (Limited trim)

. Since they don't have any stock I'll be notified on Monday,they'll have to get one from another dealership and depending how far away it is it could be 1-2 weeks.

I'm pretty excited! Will post pics when she gets here

Interested in hearing impressions of the new CVT trans/drivetrain after coming off the STI (like donuts around the lamp post lol)

Hah yeah I decided not to post it since my friend had the video, with my terrible donut skills, but it was fun none the less.

Haha I was actually willing to go to Scott's to buy but they told me that they are only taking pre order for the 2015 ATM and that all 2014 were pre sold

Make sure that they get it trailered to the dealership and NOT have someone drive it there or drive to pick it up. Usually that trip involves the car going through some not so nice break in period...

Oh yeah for sure!! He told me that they'll have it brought to the dealership on a truck.

Grats man! Hopefully you got a killer deal on one.

The CVT is better than the CVT they put in the Impreza and better than the 4 speed auto in the previous Foresters. In sport sharp it shifts surprisingly quick and that engine sure has punch (and turbo whine).

Wow, congrats man.. 2 white cars now

LilDrunkenSmurf · « **Reply #138 on:** March 11, 2014, 07:28:50 am »

I think he sold the STI to Jonny. I think.

Cool. I test drove the Forester NA yesterday. Gonna go back and test drive the XT as I did NOT like the NA. It simply did not have enough power for my liking. And I didn't really liked the CVT. Maybe the added power and slightly tougher CVT in the XT will win me over.
I also test drove the Mazda CX-5 AWD and really liked it. I know I know, not subaru. But seriosuly, I really liekd it.
If I were to pick between the Forester NA and the CX-5, I would pick the CX-5 in a heart beat.
But maybe the XT will sway me.

How did you find the CVT on the XT when you test drove it?

I have never drove a vehicle with CVT before, but when I took it out for a drive I though it was really smooth and gear changes were flawless. However I've been reading that it's quite noisy, I'll have to give you a better update once I get the car and drive it a little more.

Just called my salesman and he said they had to pull teeth to find my car, she'll be coming from Vancouver and should arrive within a few days. Jonny now has possession of my car, while I drive my dads Murano for the time. I'll start a brand new build thread once shes here!! I have already compiled a list of what I want to do

Haha, you should have seen my wife's face when I was already shopping for rims when we left the dealership. She was like: WTF, we haven't even bought it yet and your already buying wheels!!! haha.

As this car is no long in my possession (but still in the same garage) I'll leave it to Jonny to start his own build thread should he chose to do so!!!

This thread is now CLOSED!!
