Simple fact is that the XV is too small and too overpriced. Why pay 20k more for a smaller CUV? Subaru service center also limited. People would buy the XV for the badge only, which is silly.

The Forester on the other hand is a different story!

The 2wd is 1350 kg which is 1.35 ton right? 1.8 ton is the max weight when fully laden. So fc on the 2wd is actually very good compared to other competitors in the CUV segment. Mostly are 1.4-1.5 tons. Asx also has the cvt which is fuel efficient compared to regular auto.

Speed is ok. Nothing amazing, pickup from zero is slightly sluggish which is normal for cvt. Accelerating from cruising speed to overtaking speed is good. Can maintain stable high speeds on higelhway well.

2014 NVH on my Asx is ok. Could be improved more especially the isolation from the cvt. Noisy when you are throttling hard but not noticeable at lower rpms. Highway cruising noise is so-so. Nothing amazing nothing terrible.

What burning smell???

For city drive especially in jams, i dont think any car would be really fuel efficient, unless u drive hybrids/ev..for me, long distance i managed 8.6 - 6.6 l/100km, top speed up to 210kmh..for the 'sluggishness', it just the nature of cvt..felt like no power, but still ahead of other cars off the traffic lights..just bear with it n get used to it..for the burning smell, usually happened during sudden acceleration/rev such as over taking n uphill..

Mmmm, i think i will put 30psi into it. I haven't pump the tyres yet, but that day in SC, they did pump it for me. Didn't ask how much they pumped in though.

The burning smell is normal for 4B11 engine, suspected coming from stock exhaust manifold (due to the engine layout, exhaust manifold facing firewall so will be more smelly)

My inspira 4B11 already clocked 36k km of mileage still got the burning smell during sudden acceleration n revving..

My friend solved the problem by changing to aftermatket extractor..

Ok... I thought im the only one getting weird smell with sudden rev.

any facebook for ASK club?

ASK , you mean ASX?

Who don't we create one?

any volunteer?

As i am only a co-owner (car belongs to wife), & we were only having the car for <1month, a better person will be a 'sifu' status individual, i nominate..... on second thoughts, better if have volunteerlah, no paksa paksa

I just checked out the new 4WD ASX. I'd have to say it is mighty enticing.

there is new 4wd asx so fast?? updated model again?

I think he meant the current 4WD ASX.

Actually, the sign says "new".
I'm on my vacation, and this is my only time catching up to the scene and test new stuff which may actually be not that new to you guys.

actually there is 1 on FB, but not active since 2012.... i think....

really? not even knowing its existence. my bad

you are right and it is here
https://www.facebook.com/ASXperience

You do realize the page is completely spammed?
The realistic thing we can do ... is maybe organize a simple trip for a 2 Day 1 Night get together. That should set up an opportunity to meet up with the rest of the owners.

sound nice.... but I'm from Sabah.... sob....

yaya, ASX club
