2016 SUBARU FORESTER 2.0 XT STI AUTO 4X4

Description

So, I’ve had this 2016 Subaru Forester STI for a couple of years now — it’s been my go-to for everything from coastal drives to muddy trails up in the Shetland Islands. It’s a 2.0L turbo with 270 bhp, and it’s genuinely fun to drive, even if you don’t plan on doing any serious off-roading.

I bought it new, and it’s been a one-owner car — kept it well maintained, no major faults, and it’s got a full 12-month MOT. The V5 logbook is still with it, so if you’re thinking of taking it on, you can get that sorted.

It’s a rare import — one of only a few made in that spec — and the STI bodykit gives it that aggressive look. Inside, it’s all cat-s leather seats, heated, memory settings, electric windows, tailgate, and even keyless entry and start. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are in there too, which I’ve used a lot for navigation and music.

I’ve had it through a lot of weather — from snow in the Highlands to windy, unpredictable days in the Shetland Islands — and it handles just fine. It’s got parking sensors, reverse camera, cruise control, and a pan-roof. Tinted windows too, so it doesn’t get too hot in summer.

I’ve driven it for over 60k miles, and it still runs smooth. It’s ULEZ compliant, Euro 6, and it’s been a real joy to keep on the road.

I’m not selling it just for the price — it’s been a solid companion. If you're someone who values reliability, quiet running, and a bit of that driving flair, this one might be your kind of car.

Price is £8,995 — not a lot, really, for what it is. Just thought I’d share it with people who might actually use it, not just look at it.

It’s currently based in the Shetland Islands, Scotland.
