    Ex Forester owner

    Hi all,

    As per the title, I've just sold my Forester XT and have joined up to find a new car.

    The Forester was an amazing weekend car but not the most friendly for daily duties due to it's heavy clutch and lack of fuel economy.

    For the new car, I initially thought a golf gti would fit the criteria but I've recently fallen for Octavia RS wagons (manual). I'm yet to drive one so that's my first mission. Then research common faults etc.

    Any hints on finding a gooden would be appreciated.

    See y'all around.
    cheers

    Welcome to the forum mate.
    Octavias are amazing cars. Very good to do chip tuning on and verry quick. Good luck with your search

      There's a few ex-forester owners amongst us. Which just goes to show our practical approach, and need for turbos

      Best to check out the octavio section. Use the search button as that'll likely find detailed answers to many questions.

        There was a nice manual in blue down your way very recently.

          Maybe a nice VW Golf R would fit the bill...
