Tested the xv few weeks back. Handling is good, but this 2.0 boxer engine seems to have less of torque / pick up feel. Mayb due to the cvt gear. End up din go for this car

no push start for XV. XV just have basic gadget...

Any problems with XV?    Aussie reviews praise the car handling but some owners saying got random pushstart problem and parts more expensive than Merc.    What about Msia XV?  Is Msia version different?

actually when we talk about SUV, we should not mix it with cross over right? Cross over has its own category. For car such as Subaru XV should be compared with Mitsu ASX, Peug 3008.

Are you comparing XV with 2WD CX5 or 4WD CX5? i think you should try the 2WD CX5 which i feel has a better engine response than the AWD XV.

Just test drove both xv and cx 5 over the weekend and am seriously considering buying the xv. Cx5 handling and engine was surprisingly bad... I really wanted the cx 5 before the test drive but not anymore...

However, I've still got one last issue with it. Is subaru's general maintenance and service more expensive than say, the crv, cx5 and also the asx? Do I have to wait very long for parts if I ever had to change the side mirrors or the bumper if I had an accident with the car?

Thanks guys!

I think the cars in the clip all are AWD or 4WD... nevertheless I will still choose 2WD CX5 over XV.

After watch this video,
U can imagine what will happen is without the AWD system?
Maybe have other SA told u no need the AWD system in Malaysia cos no 4 season, and off road use. if u still believe what the SA say then go ahead lo ~ and what just I can say is drive carefully when raining time thats all~
