#40 of 1202 TSX vs. Forester by damormino Jul 27, 2003 (4:50 pm)
After perusing the Forester brochure I downloaded, I don't think the Forester's list of luxury features even compares to that of the TSX. I would expect the TSX to be more luxurious, more sporty, and better quality. Forester seems to have more features geared toward the outdoor type - hiking, skiing, biking, etc. wgn4snow: What trim level Forester did you compare. The 2.5X, 2.5XS or the new 2.5XT. I would think you would need to get the 2.5XT to get a good stereo. It's the only one with an additional 120 watts and a subwoofer. The 2.5X and 2.5XS apparently comes with really cheap speakers. But the brochure offer upgraded features as an accessory for those models. I would expect that a 2.5XS with upgraded speakers would have less power than the TSX system, but might sound better. By the way, from what I understand, the Forester 2.5XT will smoke a TSX from 0-60 and a quarter mile. (I still don't think it will handle nearly as well as the TSX.) Let us know if you have more impressions on the TSX and the stereo if you decide to buy.
