When the turbo foz came out in 2004, I was thrilled...as the wife wanted one, but previous years were only N/A. This color (Sierra Gold Metallic) was only available in 2004 for the FXT. I wasn't too fond of gold at first.. as the wife picked the color, it had completely grown on me over the years. One too many mods granted me free to wrench & build, so I have been steady pushin levelles of what most Forester Owners have been pursuing but forced to build our own Forester STI!
Currently the car is a daily driver that hauls kids, goes to the mountains for winter fun, packs surfboards/MTB/etc. with some occasional light track duty.
Plans are to designate this as a race car and finish the build...however, car is running great and enjoying the sleep factor...& very minimalistic luxury qualities ( massive sunroof, heated leather seats, nothing else).
