Does anyone know (sorry if this has been answered, tried to search but didn't see anything) if the 2009 Forester (normal, N/A) is available with leather in a 5 spd/manual tranny? thanks |

Replying to: cshopper (May 15, 2008 8:16 am) Subaru didn't sell enough of them. If you want manual tranny with Turbo in Forester, '08's the only option at moment. |

Replying to: rmanke (May 15, 2008 9:34 am) I may have that as well, and suspect it's in the rear seat reclining mechanisms. As for '08 Outback .vs. '09 Forester, my observations matched yours. Also, the Outback Turbo was far more surgy and less responsive than the Forester, despite Outback's SI Drive, 5-speed manu-matic, etc.

Hi all: I'm new to this forum. I've been shopping the various '09 Forester models and definitely like the extra knee room I get with the tilt/telescoping steering wheel. The only issue is that I prefer not to get the turbo model and they do not have this available. Has anyone heard of getting a tilt/telescoping steering wheel after-market? Otherwise, I may wait to 2010 to see if the option becomes available. Maybe a crazy idea, but thought I'd ask. Best regards, BDW |

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (May 15, 2008 9:56 am) Overall these two "fixes" have reduced what I've been hearing, but not eliminated it. The noises are most noticeable when cold first drive in the morning. When I get in the car at lunch after parking in the sun, there is almost no noise and the car seems to feel noticeably tighter and more upscale. Also, as I stated in an earlier post, these noises don't happen on the freeway - only in city traffic. In any event, keep us updated. I'd be happier if the car sounded/behaved like it does after its been parked for a while in the sun.
