Yes. From stop to moving. Or sometime from 70km want to pick up to 110km.
There is a minor lag.

But after minor lag the power is there.

for picking up speed after moving, try down shift or a sudden gush (no flooring yet) the gas. Is like you hv to tell the car CPU that u want that gush of speed.
sometimes i m wondering could it because of the CVT that didn't have that gear change jerk that make us think is lagging?

i hv been driving manual for the past 20+ yrs, so i m still learning how to drive & expect from auto correctly.

Me too, have been driving manual all my life.
So, still not so used to this yet.
I didn't try out the manual mode yet. Don't know how that pedal shift work.

possibly combination of CVT + DBW..
if this is your first Drive by wire car, you'll definitely notice the minor lag.

if u r light footed type on ur manual, try to b slightly heavy & prepare to use the brake more.

if u drive manual mode, just work on up shifting. let the CPU do the down shift when slow down. is kind of difficult to up shift while turning bcos the pedal is away.

i think i learn to compensate it but a quicker foot action.

If you want instant response you'd have to drive it in manual mode all the time. That is just part of driving CVT. No jerky gear change also means a slower reaction time. When you floor the accelerator there is no kick down to lower gear. The CVT takes its own sweet time to increase the ratio.

anyone feel the steering vibrates when not moving or turning slowly (usually leg off or light on the gas) and steering is turned around a quarter?

I also notice the vibration is lesser in N compare to D.

MI allows me to compare with his car which is somewhat more significant.

Mine does vibrate slightly during the morning when the engine is cold.

Mine also vibrates during turn on stationary especially in the morning on tiled surface. Ask SA and was told it is normal.

Is the 2016 CKD Forester come w/ Hill Start Assist?
Spec only show Hill Descent Assist for down hill but wondering is the Auto Vehicle Hold equivalent to Hill Start Assist?

Thx

a googling shows that even 1989 subaru legacy have this function, and oversea's forester did have this function since 10 years ago
so i think it should have in the CKD forester 2016 since this function have been so long and i dont think it's expensive to put in

maybe try a test drive and see if it has it, and try to go roads full of pot holes and see if the car can handle it.

*edit.. source from pauline tan

"Speaking of being covered, any safety concerns are answered with seven airbags (dual front, sides and curtains, driver’s knee), Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), Hill Start Assist, ring-shaped reinforcement frame and ABS (with EBD and BA). This safety suite is not variant-exclusive, and is available on all three, which is mighty impressive at its price point."

it does have it

Good!!

initially i tot hill start assist is some sophisticated & intelligence in the system bcos I kind of notice it was regularly emphasize in a popular brand.

after reading the manual, it is just a 2s delay in releasing the brake after lifting the foot of the peddle

Those popular brand already a lot of people buy no matter what their car have ma, some even before announce specs also order until waiting list liao, wat for put so many features hahaha

i m still curious how our JPJ categorize road tax. isn't ASX AWD same category as XV?

i doubt there is any mistakes on the price list.

as far as i know, they go by the term '4wd', not awd, thats why subaru's awd, and merc's 4matic, or audi's quattro got diff road tax structure than the 4wd

Somebody asked this question before. It is not the 4WD category but rather the SUV category that the XV falls into. I believe you pay more roadtax at RM430 as compared to a normal road car which is around RM379 as per the Mitsu ASX.

The XV falls under SUV category while the ASX does not. That you have to go ask JPJ but it has nothing to do with the AWD.

yes, nothing to do with AWD or 4WD bcos Outlander 4WD falls under SUV category.

Looks like it could b something to do with size. xv is longer & wider. On second tot, is also doesn't make sense bcos Kembara & Rush also categorized as SUV tax.

Auto Hold should be the 1 with more device system related and Forester did stated with Auto Vehicle Hold capability but since it was not come with electrical brake then not sure how it works. Others car manufacturer auto hold come with dedicated button and work with electrical brake.

Any one know how Subaru Auto Vehicle Hold work?

Thx
