QUOTE(vegebotak @ Jul 3 2016, 01:03 AM) I tried 2 placed. They said no stock on 89k xv but they offer me the XV PREMIUM ( which is not STI and SPORT ) version. Will u guys to accept this offer ? PREMIUM SPEC look like basic car at all. Year 2015 car. ( Demo Displayed Car ). premium and sport and sti all also same engine same gearbox same suspension same chassis and same safety, same AWD only the aerokit different for the sti, and maybe the strut bar, they said sti aerokit increase downforce up to 15% but that is at the speed of 200kmh i think which no one would drive at that speed.... the sport is just the premium with a drl you can just buy aftermarket drl like the osram foglamp with drl or the phlips drl bar

QUOTE(netangle73 @ Jul 9 2016, 11:06 PM) Hi there, would like to ask about the reliability and durability of the Subaru Lineartronic CVT, is that similar technology like the Nissan Xtronic CVT ? Are the Subaru Forester and Subaru XV using the same CVT gearbox model ? Is the Subaru CVT as smooth as the Nissan CVT ? Having some interests in either Subaru XV or Forester. http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2014/06...s-best-cvt.htmli believe the cvt on higher end cars and lower end cars are different, for all manufacturer it is the same cvt in wrx can withstand around 300hp but i dont think the cvt in xv will stand 300hp same goes to nissan, they wont put an expensive cvt like those in murano into lower end cars in order to maximize profit

QUOTE(fkp1 @ Jul 12 2016, 02:07 PM) Thank you. Why would people curse me if i can make sure the HID light is not too glaring? Care to elaborate? Is it because XV itself comes with the auto-leveler system? Simply switching the bulb will be glaring, no matter what you do, you need a new housing, and a projector The leveling in xv is manual leveling, auto leveling comes with gyro i think, when u going through descent the lamp will auto go low, when u going up hill it wil auto go up a bit

QUOTE(lcsiong @ Jul 17 2016, 06:40 PM) i planning to buy the latest WRX, any comment on this car? Everything is good Except that they dont offer manual here If you want manual, there is alternatives like focus ST, or manual+coupe, can take a look at megane rs If you are ok with cvt, then go with wrx Im not saying cvt is not good, but it gives a boring feeling to a fast car
