Too bad all 3 models that topped the report is not sold or even popular in Malaysia. Until today no bread and butter Impreza sedans models were ever sold here. Legacy is virtually non-existent and the number of Foresters sold is less than the number of CR-V that Honda uses for their demo cars.

Subaru isn't trying hard enough in Malaysia. They should find another distributor to sell Subaru.

Subaru's is in the niche market, popularity is not an issue here its a very high tech car where the majority did not even know what's boxer engine !! The price is quite prohibiting too but those who has own and driven Subaru would probably goes back to them.
Only when I've driven the Forester I just fall in love with its AWD stability and the turbo power ...you just feel safe...its a driver's vehicle !!
Maintenance is a problem for those outside KL perhaps if they change to another more dedicated distributor it will help.In Ipoh they are using the Proton's workshop for maintenance which doesn't look good at all !!

f*** that shit.. you sure regret like shit. i got 2 cars with vkool done at the vkool hq in PJ.. all rusting at the edge by the 6th year or so. now bubbling and wavey already. one car year 2000, another 2003. my 2006 car with llumar..now still PERFECT.

And before you listen to any other joker, LLumar, V-Kool, Huper all belong to the same parent company now. Guess which one ranks #1 in the family  whistling.gif

Being using vkool for the pass ten years and its fantastic...
Perhaps some joker don't even know how to use shit !!

Recently, I've noticed in Mudah & Carlist, that there are some slight changes in the interior picture of the Forester XT.  The dash has a new touchscreen headunit, there appears to be more buttons on the steering wheel (or could be repositioning of buttons?) and metal/chrome ring around the central aircon vents.  Anybody notice this too?  Didn't realise there was a facelift.
*
Understand that Forester XT is going to be CKD unit in coming months...price would be substantially lower !!

To be honest, if interior equipment and car gadget are my top priority, i wouldn't purchase Subaru XV. First love sight on its outlook. After test drive, I told myself, no matter how I must die die get 1 for this . smile.gif
Beside this, when the time I decide to place booking, 2014 out of stock and I have put extra money to buy 2015 model... a bit disappointing but no choice...
*
Rest assure you have make a brilliant choice !!

true... i know some review complain about engine sound. But I like the sound. Sounds "berlemak"... not sure how else to describe it.

Let's put it this way ...Subie boxer engine sound is unique, others would love to have it .... rclxm9.gif

For high speed cornering should go for WRX !!
Fozzy is meant for those graduated from WRX and still yearn for Subie performance as a family car !!
QUOTE(Skylineteh @ Oct 9 2015, 12:33 PM)
Seats lack side support is true but makes getting in and out really easy.
& i feel not much reason to have too much side support on a Fozz...cause cornering at high speed its not really its forte (even though its quite capable to do so).

It seems that group is very very closed that a car club shouldn't be. It is only open to people who owned first before joining. Shouldn't a car club be inclusive so that potential owners have confidence in getting one after learning or understanding from owners.

Probably a selfish club !!

CX5 worst parts on I-Stop Battery and once over 3 years warranty then will be a big pain for every year... again more OEM now and heard can get as low as RM400 to 600 range.

Subaru best for the 5 years warranty which worry free for 60 mths but not sure how was the spare after that hahah!!

Actually I love and craving for CX5 due to its design but I hate rattling which was told CKD CX5 very bad for that... this make me on hold CX5 and looking at Forester... again CKD Forester totally new now and cant get any good user feedback on the CKD quality.... plus seem like CKD XV also suffering for rattling haha

All this reasons are holding me from making any booking hahahah, actually I dont like Subi using the conventional old handbrake w/o moving up to Electrical Button Handbrake w/ auto hold as well as why removing the front sensors which is added by all new SUV now including CX5 sad.gif...

Ask yourself what's the most important thing you want in a car, safety in handling or accessories or beauty ?
Anyway beauty is in the eyes of the beholders . hmm.gif
