Comments from the seller
We are only second owners of this car, and are selling to upgrade to a newer Forester model; has been driven mostly to and from work, about 20km drive each way via freeway.
This was my wife's car, so maintenance was top importance for me, so has been mechanically well look after.
2x original keys
Had new clutch fitted August/25 at 166,800km.
New battery fitted on 14/03/26
New seal to timing cover
New left and right front lower control arm.
Has a mark on the bonnet (probs caused from uncleaned bird dropping) and scratches on the handle driver side both shown in photos.
Never had any issues with this car, has been serviced on time every 10k km.
Will consider all reasonable offers

Overview
Being based on the Impreza chassis gives the Forester a whole lot of sorted gear to call on. So the drive-train is well sorted, be it manual or auto, with the obvious AWD ability. Power from the 2.5 boxer engine is willing, capable of brisk take-off around town and (in manual form at least) good off-road climbing ability. The interior is a fine place to be for both driver and passenger with easily accessible controls and good space for passengers - especially in the rear where there are no compromises. Of course, the rear seats fold down for a flat cargo space when needed.
