new scoob forrester doesn't have a the high/low box , shame really as my old imprezza sport 2.0 had one and it was great for towing and pulling drivers out of ditches / snowdrifts
tbh tho, tyres will make a bigger difference than the low box
the standard 2.0D impreza has the transfer box as does the legacy …new ones a bit ugly but growing on me (outback vers)
also ground clearance will be an issue for the imprezza as it sits low
best bargain would be a previous gen forrester 2.5 xt spec
big engine and transfer box , genuine off road ability
or a legacy outback ….
i'm lusting after a 4×4, esp after how pants the civic has been this winter but i really love the engine/ interior etc
looked at an ex demo impreza 2.0d and it was like stepping back in time, plastics were naff , ergonomics poor and equipment wasn't great
but it does have full time 4wd 🙂
aghhhhh choices
