Behind the infamy of the Impreza WRX and the powerhouse of the Legacy GT, came a smaller but spirited wagon offered by Subaru in 1997, the Forester S/TB. With a similar powerplant to other performance oriented Subaru’s of the time, the turbocharged Flat-4 EJ20, this turbo 1999 Subaru Forester S/TB remains both practical and exciting for everyday driving.
Inside this 1999 Forester, you’ll find options haven’t been limited. Half leather seats and upholstery give a premium feel to all occupants with a perforated cloth and black leather combo. A MoMo steering wheel sits front and center for the driver and provides a perfect feel to connect the driver to the road. Sending power from the EJ205 sits a 4 Speed Automatic transmission with both Power and Snow modes to help conquer troublesome conditions. And in each seating position, small cubbies can be found in each door with three additional cubbies up front for any light storage needs.
On the exterior, a simplistic but sharp body profile is accented by the black gloss paint. Sitting in all four corners, bronze OEM Snowflake style wheels compliment this gloss finish further, with gold OEM emblems all around. The bumper mounted fog lights provide ample lighting in less than ideal conditions, similar to the OEM rain guards that allow windows to be open for a relaxed drive in any season. The large and functional hood scoop is a staple of Subaru and provides additional airflow over its top mounted intercooler.
With an engine design that was improved over its US counterpart, these EJ205 equipped Forester’s offered a higher standard of reliability thanks to it’s open deck block design. Paired with its low mileage, this EJ205 motor turns over on command and settles into a smooth and strong idle, ready to deliver it’s famous Boxer rumble. Accentuating this rumble further, thanks to the aftermarket Apexi exhaust, this Forester is sure to catch the attention of any Subaru fan.
With over 25 years of production and still continuing to this day, its clear Subaru delivered a fan-favorite and winning product with the Forester. Take a trip to anywhere around town and it’s very likely you’ll see at least one Forester somewhere on the road, a clear exhibit of it’s popularity and reliability. This S/TB package SF5 being the first generation of the Forester, serves as a legacy to one of the most renowned Subarus to come from Japan, all while providing a smooth, comfortable, but thrilling, turbocharged experience.
