short term - waiting for northern region showroom to have a test drive car.
long term - dreaming...

wonder why Subaru doesn't come out with a 2 door hatch even if is a RWD + manual should be nice too.

that's why I bought the last batch of Legacy GT! 

wah u compare sedan with SUV    , 2 very diff car

but yeah subaru malaysia is really lacking a family C segment sedan, the only sedan they have are performance oriented 

i'm sure the Civic is a more fun car if you like to drive fast. but the Forester is better as a family car because safer and bulkier

Forester XT gooding.

Nice bro!

Eh noted from your picture, yours doesn't come with spoiler?

Can I request the spoiler to be removed? Looks too..... Hmm aggressive?

So, Subaru knows this is an issue but does nothing unless the customers brings in the car to complaint on it.
My car also have the popping sound also. Brother took it to PJ HQ service centre and they told him the part should not be sounding so soon (my XV is just one year) and sounded surprise. Seems like no one have complaint this issue to them. They now are ordering the parts from Japan and will call us up once it has arrived. To change the part needs one or two days according to the service centre.

i would not say problem...

but i would say mainly 5x100 pcd type of bearing is smaller...so it life longevity is questionable....
for pcd 5x114 type of scooby no need to worry much....

but still, since scooby is fulltime awd vehicle, expect wheel bearing replacement for around 100,000km interval or so (forgot actual lifespan)

No mettle how well Lotus adjust handling ,FWD sure will under steel . Event is lancer Evo with 4WD ,still abit understeel compare to Subaru AWD

getting from US also expensive with current exchange rate. still waiting reply from japan source. dunno whatprice also. can't waited too long later for used part. hand itchy now to get the sti...haishh... new in stock anytime can get just the price

wonder why they are not CKD-ing it. too competitive market segment?

i recall there was a time like 10+ years ago, manual is piratically nonexistence and asking for a manual will get a "are you still living in stone age" reaction.
It starts creeping back at the lowest spec for price competition purpose i.e. Vios J model.

Anyway your new civic is not even car of the year (2016-17) in Japan, praying hard MI will bring in this 1..

  Most likely will stick to Subaru for the next upgrade but really hard to decide move up to the Forester or the WRX.

By the way guys, did you notice that the 6th gear is much sensitive and hardly use on highway? Example like, when im driving 140kmh on the 6th gear and only a little press on the gas, it skip to 5th gear again. I mean little is real little....

just installed it today 

what kind of speed when tackled a corner. recently i did something like approaching a traffic light junction at higher than normal speed, brake, let go brake and turn, and my wife goes "arghh..."     well feels quite good actually

Refering to the above recommendation, I wonder what tyre is better & worth paying extra than Primacy ST3 and the stock MC5 (I am mentioning this bcos it is more expensive than ST3)?

How much is the RE003?
