he wanted to buy cx5 la, not even know what is subaru car, he just need someone "agree" with his choice...

Heh heh...subaru needs to beef up its maketing strategy. ..

He can get cheap Cx5 but 2wd n low spec ler, later on he will feel that his car is dull n not fun to drive anymore

i see.. u meant sensitivity.. like my wife's elantra.. evrytime i drive her car, i had to readjust my braking.. for xv, need to step abit more, which suits my driving style..

drove a golf tsi before, n yes.. the brake also sensitive..

I drove 1300km and have an average reading of 8.4l/100km. I drive 50:50 highway and city.
A full tank has about 54litres and gets me 570km with 100km remaining shown on dashboard. (plus minus 650km).

Good fc, good torque, and impeccable handling. Just abit noisy when driving above 100kmh. With the current price and 5 year free maintenance, it's a pretty good buy. Bought. It from Zenock and he is as good as it gets in terms of servicing his clients.

Nice feedback. Have you consider sound proofing? I've been doing some reading about it and somewhat convinced that'll help to reduce the noise levels. Most overseas owner diy it. Doesn't look that hard, does it? Anybody done this before? Diy or done by shop? Please share your thoughts. Tq.

abundai done his ... you can try check with him ...

u can try to diy, but the work can be quite troublesome...sure safe a bit of ur cash...
me on the other hand, dont hav time to do a 6 hours job for all doors..
so i pay sum1 else to do it...

PM me if u need my installer help... i can assure u, he gives the cheapest price, cos i did my survey before from a few shop in kl...

i will pm u someday

today i went to sc to rectify the vibration problem..
but unfortunately, the sc will not honor my claim cos wheel balancing is limited to 1500km only...
a bit upset cos they never mentioned about the 1.5k km warranty...

luckily the shop they asked me to go and do the balancing only charge rm40 for all tyres...

Hrrmm...this is interesting. Most sound proofing that i researched on the internet will involve applying materials on the metal side of the door, not to the door panels. Well, i guess its just a different approach. As long as the end result is satisfying....what the heck....

I'll try to scout what's available in kuantan....

1.5k km... hmm.. good to know that

edit : heard the radio promoting subaru xv ... they are trying hard....

the white layer normally comes as standard in cars like BMW/Merc/VW..
The white "cotton pad" like material will help further block/filter sound waves...
my installer can also Poslaju to you the material if you cant find it in kuantan...

maybe can put this info on the first post--- might be useful for future buyers like me who doesnt drive fast before first service

the promo thingy maybe wants to finish 2013 stock...and CNY is just around the corner...

Abundai, ur installer can do soundproofing on any car?

Might do soundproofing later

yup.... they are putting in greatest effort to push it, good for us.

Btw, between free service for 5 years 100,000km (worth RM9k+) and RM5,000 cash discount, which one will you choose? I am leaning towards the 5 years free service since my HP repayment will be 5 years. Normally i will only change car after instalment fully settled.

It depends on u bro

*I choose cash rebate

any car also can... just tell him bond (xv) from lyn introduce u...
definitely can get good price..

i chose 5 year worry free service... cos 5k rebate, the differences in monthly installment is quite small.. doesnt make much different to me...

RM5000 better option if:
1. You sell the car before 100,000km or 5 years
2. You don't use the car often enough to reach 100,000 in 5 years.

I will reach 100,000 in less than 4 years hence I took the free maintenance package. No matter how we still need to send to Subaru in order not to void the 5 years/100,000km parts warranty. It's much more pricier than servicing our cars outside.
