WITH the upgrade to 2001 model year (MY01) specification, the Forester GT picked up standard cruise control and a revised stereo system (now 2 DIN) with a six-disc in-dash CD player - as per the MY01 Impreza WRX. The dash surround for the stereo and HVAC controls is now finished in fake carbon fibre. Engine power has increased by 5kW to 130kW at 5600rpm, while peak torque is up by five Newton-metres to 245Nm at 4400rpm.
