That sentence already tells you that it has nothing to do with the weaker ringgit if in SG the subaru is cheaper than T or H. If the continentals managed to start CKD in Malaysia, there is no reason for Subaru not to. They just didn't have anybody locally to push for it. I guess TC could have done something if they really wanted to.

Most outside windscreen shop prefers to do 'made in china' business because a lot of people don't have coverage and prefer to use cheaper knockoffs.

I've also forgot that the XV is CKD and the windscreen could be a local component but it is still very cheap compared to CBU. My previous WRX windscreen cost over RM3000. Made in china knockoffs were around RM1000.

If it is a CKD component then the specialist might be able to get their hands on it.

Understand that Forester XT is going to be CKD unit in coming months...price would be substantially lower !!

Now want to share my problem... now wife likes the car and wants to drive that and ask me drive her car

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

Anybody knows the pcd of the spare? thinking of getting thinner spare tyre to increase the boot space..

Can we use this on our Subaru? Specifically:
A. Where is our OBD-II port located?
B. Will it void our warranty?

But you do know that the unique subaru boxer burble is not there in the XV since you have equal length headers. Subarus lose their burble when fitted with equal length headers. The sound does not come from the engine alone. I had the EJ20 with unequal length exhaust headers in my previous subaru and FA20 in my current ride.  I can't wait to get my hands on an unequal length exhaust header to put the burble back on.

This video shows you what the burble sounds like in a Subaru with unequal headers and how it is lost when equal length headers are used.

Few thing i realize after having 2 days drive on Subaru XV.
1. There is a gap between the 2 piece of plastic that located at car ciggrate lighter there.
2. Rear passenger seat on the left seems like not fix and can be pulled up.

Is that a normal for all XV car?

I think this is a Yes and No answer. Yes, the seats are removable to access the fuel pump but it does not have a simple removal mechanism to remove the seat. That means the seat is not meant to be removed or folded until you need to fix something. This usually applies to sedans.

If I'm not mistaken, the XV design folds the seat back support all the way down and creates a flat surface to the rear compartment without having to fold up the bottom seat itself. Therefore if the bottom seat is loose, then something is wrong as it is not clipped on properly.

quick question bros...it seems that im unable to lock my steering by turning the steering like other cars. is it normal or not.

Looks more rugged after installing this. Will try out 4300 hid light after this. Current yellow really bad at night.

Ya.. i know old story,
Did you remove your muffler at the end?
