Originally set my eyes to get hrv but heard and read too much how good is xv and went for test drive of XV 2016 premium. The simplicity/classy of interior and superior car handling surprised me. Also, SC that I went for test drive didn't limit or predefined my driving route, which allows me to enjoy the whole experience. I'm sold.

I would like to find out the best offer. The SC quoted 138k before discount of 5k for 2016 premium. Is this the best offer? How much did you get? Do pm if that's more comfortable for you. smile.gif

Test drove both CX-5 and the Forester last weekend. Was offered really big discount on the forester 2.0i that makes it price really attractive. Between 120k-130k. Anyone wants to share the offer that they get from their SA?

I can live with the interior of the Forester as it is quite decent and the legroom on that second row......top of its class.

123k?

Update:
Tested sport mode. Pickup punch came immediately after pressing accelerateor but fuel consumption expected to be high. On average at 80km/h rpm reached 2000. Using SI mode drive gently and no hard acceleration, one could achieve near to 13km/l. Looked back at the acceleration mode indicator, SI mode the rpm increased almost linearly untill reached optimum and maintain flat onwards. In the contrary Soport mode, rpm increased exponentially in early stage and reached optimum level early. The optimum level for both SI and Sport are the same, the different is SI reaches later.

Using SI to overtake a car is not recommended. One can use this method in SI mode to overtake a car, switch to manual gear shifting and use paddle shift. After that switch back to auto again.

went for 5k service & test drive forester for fun. 
considering it has the same engine as XV but with a much heavier body, it doesn't show any sluggishness but seems like more responsive & smoother feel than XV.

Suspect that it was tune differently.. Likewise for gen2 cps and exora cps, it was tuned differently

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 ).
*
At least they have stock.. And it's 2015. What is the mileage for that demo car? If it's lower than 50km.. Should be acceptable

ok, combine shipping should be fine.  But need to trouble you to do the postage from your place to me at JB.
good idea.
yup, ask my installer to bypass it when i replaced the front speakers and add an amp and subwoofer last Saturday.  A bit regret to get the 12" subwoofer, kinda too big for the XV's boot.  sleep.gif  10" will be just nice with the woofer box.  Should have measure the height of the boot.  I am considering asking the accessories shop to custom made a wooden cover to replace the existing boot cover and take away all those sponges.  Those useless sponges raise the floor of the boot for about 2 inches without any benefit.  sweat.gif

Hi bro... Do u remember which wire that he use to bypass it..

Tried the method at first page but failed lol..

Not sure I've re do twice but still failed

I think it is the same green wire.  Did you take the correct end of the wire.  After you cut it, there is 2 ends. Make sure you are connecting to the right one.

Done.. Problem with the wire that I connected it with

Didn't properly tie it up together.. Hahaha

Tested all ok.. Jimat at least rm30 lol..

Will take me 20mins if I have to done it again

Thank you

Yup, i believe that is why Subaru CVT gearbox can last long due to extra oil in it to protect. Compare to others which only have 4L..

But the disadvantage is more expensive a bit during fluid change. For me i rather invest in better extra fluid change compare to gearbox easy ko in future due to less fluid to protect..  brows.gif
*
Inspira or lancer have total 12L as well..

Normal cvt oil change only needs 4 to 5 L for that car.

For subaru xv, as mentioned by others.. Around 6L.

Does anyone knows what tint/security tint does the sports xv comes with?
It should be a generic one from the warehouse/factory right?
