Go dyno your car when you get it
Maybe they feel sorry for the delay of delivery and give you wrx s4

Well the awd is one of the best budget awd out there
If you compare to awd from xtrail, and those korean cars, not only subaru awd beat them off road, it beat them on highway also

But if you compare subaru awd to premium awd like quattro from audi and 4matic from merc, i have no idea

Also you need to know the difference between awd and 4wd

The reason being mechanical 4wds are purely for low speed off road, i owned both , my ranger wildtrak is a 4wd while my subaru is an awd

My ranger most of the time are running on 2 wheel drive only, even if i switch the 4wd on, it will auto off after reaching highspeed, 4wd is just for low speed off road, only for that

As for subaru awd, it was on all the time, from 1kmh all the way to 200kmh, the usage of awd is to give you all weather traction, so you get better traction in snow, in rain, mud, sand etc etc, not saying you should speed when raining but yeah it does give you the extra traction you need, it also translate to safer driving in harsh condition

Ask the salesman whether that suv u want is awd or 4wd, becos some people buy a 4wd suv and dont realise they actually driving on 2wd mode all the time lol

Really one nice car
The back could be more aggresive but then as a family wagon maybe like that will look more classy

Mine also parts and service
Depends on which offer u take

2016 FL has more than just the signal
The mfd at the middle is multi colored
The seat is also electromechanically moved istead of jacking with hand etc etc
Overall the FL provided much more comfort package, but the engine gearbox suspension is the same as pre FL

Weird meh
250hp c class and cla also people use it daily
The problem with wrx is the manual and maybe the sports oriented suspension
I tried driving my clio rs daily and i will pening after a while, suspension gives too much road feedback

These kind of car, rarely got fancy interior, they want you to focus on the road, take a look at megane interior also u will faint, same goes to focus ST

What song u play
Might be the source of the song only output to 1 side speaker?
Or all songs also like that

It happen towards the whole asia
Taiwan and china also complain the dealership
They love their cars but hated the dealer

So far my experience with cheras sc is good, other sc not sure

I think only turbocharged subie got this function

I might be wrong tho

But put it at traction page i think looked best and most useful

there are a few free service package, mine comes with parts and labour, some dont, so u need to ask them

as for road trip, you'd glad you got the forester instead of the XV lol

it is a go everywhere, in every weather, any terrain kind of car

all the people enjoyed new car smell, but ur wife hated it

activated charcoal or carbon might help capture the molecules/particles that give the smell

but within 1 week i dont think so la because the leathers/ carpet/ fittings might still be emitting those 'smelly' particles/ molecules

if it is CBU, highly possible for loan approved only order from japan , then u get the most fresh car made by japanese, i find it kind of appealing except the waiting

Usually u take less year, the interest rate higher
My car also take 3 years loan only and interest is 3%
If take 5 years interest lower

CBU?

very good car, going to put some mods on it ? HKS, fujitsubo, or STI exhaust

used to have racechip on my previous car, preve CFE

race chip is just a plug and play piggyback ECU to command for a higher boost in the turbo i think, at least that's what the seller told me about

try to install it and see from the pressure guage if u are getting a slightly higher boost

this is the non turbo forester, judging from the single tail pipe

not using momentum to climb, they purposely stopped at the middle

for non mechanical locking center and rear differential AWD, subaru definitely got it's rank

audi come close on second place, i've seen a q7 climbing really steep hill where i cant even climb on all 4

also the achievement of their parent company VW in the WRC

Aluminum rigidity is actually worse than steel
If you wanted actual real stiff ring, it should be made of mild steel or something
