    The tS is a limited run - Subaru OZ only imported 300 into the country and most of these are sold. There's a few on carsales but it's not even showing as an option on the Subaru website anymore.

    I don't think there will be another run. There's a mid-life update to the Forester coming in 2017 so they'll want to clear the current stock out before the refresh hits the showrooms.

    Biggest take out from this for me was that the blue looked way better than I thought it would in the metal.

    Arriving April 17 Audi S3 sedan, Panther black, S-tronic, PP2, pano, matrix lights, assistance pack, 40:20:40 seats, mirror pack, light inlays

    Remember the blue on the R50? I was hoping they would offer that colour for the R Line. Sadly no and it's also disappointing that the colour range is even less for the R Line.

    Two reasons why we didn't get the Rline (the car is a company car but for 95% of the time it is my wife's) I call on ot occasional if I need to move somethings around:

    1 was the very limited colour choice - she wanted the orange (which I think will look good) after a sequence of dark or silver cars

    2 Rline equates to R- as in Scirocco R which means sports - which means she won't drive it.

    The Rline adds are things we can really do without though I think the Rline body kit and the Orange would have looked great.

    Yeah I didn't go R Line either, mostly due to the missus (it'll be our 'family car'). She hated the R logos on the seats, thought they were tacky and 'bogan-esque'. It's interesting what one person calls a feature another sees as a detriment.

    Personally I would have liked the R-line but I guess the snob in her saved me 4K.

    I'm getting an R-Line, but to be honest, I'd prefer it without the R logo on the seats and without the black roof lining. The outside body kit is lovely, the steering wheel is really nice and the adaptive chassis control (dampers) and progressive steering make for a lovely drive IMO.
