thread_title:  Article should include mention of Forester Sti (jdm) 

message: I've seen a number of complaints about the pre-2000 Foresters having overheating problems, which ended up in the warping of the aluminum heads. Someone mentioned that this did result in some recalls, but I can't find a verifiable cite for any of this. Anyone have more information and a cite worth including? (Anyone else having this problem? I've just had my first overheating, and am concerned.) Thanks, --Kickstart70-T-C 18:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reading around the 'net 

message: The artictle states "Both the XS and XT include curtain airbags, whereas the X does not".
I just looked at my spec-sheet for the Forester X 2007 and it states that it has both, front and side air bags. Is that different to curtain airbags ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.241.91.114 (talk) 10:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Forester X - Airbags 

message: The article states "Both the XS and the XT come with the option of having a "Luxury Pack" fitted", but there are X models with the Luxury Pack advertised.--121.45.69.161 (talk) 14:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

TECHNICAL INFO WELLCOME.
:For advise on mechanical matters, try using Subaru Fan Club websites. There are multiple sites than can offer suggestions. Wikipedia, unfortunately, is just an encyclopedia that describes the vehicle, but doesn't offer suggestions for repair. WP:NOTHOWTO (Regushee (talk) 15:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Really? Subaru actually said this? I doubt the name means anything other than that the car is rugged enough for difficult roads.  Rsduhamel (talk) 08:28, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The name "forester" is meant to imply the vehicle is "of the forest" 

message: The opening section says:
:"Currently, the Forester is a station wagon version of Impreza, which the wagon version is dropped and replaced with the 5-door crossover hatchback."
What does this mean? Did the Forrester start out as a wagon then get changed to a crossover?  Was it a crossover then a wagon then a crossover again? Was it available as both at one time? Rsduhamel (talk) 15:47, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed it.  I changed it to compact crossover SUV.  It is actually a small station wagon with high ground clearance and SUV ruggedness, but not a Body On Frame construction, which makes it a crossover SUV, not a regular SUV.  Bookster451 (talk) 03:12, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  it's a wagon. "crossover SUV's" is a made up term, they are wagons / estates. they are not SUV, they are not trucks, indeed.   67.189.106.110 (talk) 04:46, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wagon or crossover hatchback, which is it 

message: It falls in between being a crossover and a station wagon.  But there is no such thing as a "crossover wagon"  or a "crossover station wagon".  Someone else, what should it be called, a crossover, or a station wagon?  Bookster451 (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "crossover wagon" covers it pretty well. But how completely uninteresting! See what they call the Volvo XC70 and the Audi Allroad, I find this to boring to bother with it. You could easily find valid sources for whatever your opinion is, so that shouldn't be a problem. I support any viewpoint that is sufficiently detached.  ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃  (talk) 02:43, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
