Hi ,would like to book one i-p Forester. Few questions before making decision...
1. Resale value really very bad? Let say want to sell it after two years due to unforeseen things. Will it like half value gone in two years time? 2. What if after warranty period over, the engine maintenance, not sure how expensive to maintain. Any known problem so far... Heard this engine different architecture, normal foreman dunno how to deal with it. I test-drive it twice, feel that when going over hump, the rear suspension seem cannot hold the wheel well , but tends to have a little bouncy . Might be absorber not enough damp... Last time I changed an aftermarket shock for my vios and then become less bouncy. Not sure any aftermarket shock for this Forester, especially the rear suspension. Thks. Asking too many questions. |

Subaru gave huge discount on last year model. That's is troubling when you consider re-sale value. Anyway, even most popular car will drop about 55% in 5 years. The worst re--sale value cars in Malaysia: http://otoreview.blogspot.my/2015/12/worst...ted-221215.html Yes, I found the suspension is a bit stiff on the rear but probably it is tuned for ride with loads, not just the driver. The wheel base is a bit shorter, I think, compares to my previous 4x4 because I bump from the rear came a bit sooner at my regular bump speed. So, the cargo cover bump as well. So, I have to learn new habit The spare part price cheap for cars with plenty OEM parts. If original part, I think not much different. I think/hope the car will be more popular in near future so that the parts will become just like others |

Any aftermarket shock already for Forester. |

QUOTE(frankzane @ Jul 24 2017, 01:50 PM) Is this tax allowance thingy specific to one's income? Coz my neighbor change his car every few years. Expensive cars somemore... Technically, my company (I own it) gets the tax allowance, not me but the profits (after tax) go to me so it's the same thing. Some of my friends don't bother with this tax allowance. They want to get big Mercs and BWMs so they register the car under the company and have the company pay for it but because the sales price is above RM150k they only get RM50k tax allowance. I guess it depends on your industry. If you need to meet clients and all of that, you need a flashy car. Nobody ever sees my car. |

QUOTE(kevin613 @ Jul 24 2017, 04:54 PM) are you looking for more comfort or better handling? Want steady and comfortable. But the rear shock seem cannot quite matching with spring... If got little more damping for the rear shock that would be perfect. To me , comfortable doesn't mean soft soft goyang, that is much more uncomfortable.thks.if you want comfort, then stock shocks are the best for comfort already.. coilovers will only make matters worse.. |

To me , comfortable doesn't mean soft soft goyang, that is much more uncomfortable.thks. I test drove the Forester with the SA in the front passenger seat and my wife and kids in the back. My wife thought it was very comfortable in the back. She thinks it's much more comfortable than the CRV. A few days later, I had her test drive it with me in the back. I think it's very comfortable too. She even did a little 'off roading' (drove on some grass and dirt) and it was much less bouncy than my Ranger. If it's too soft for you, there is probably STI suspension for the Forester. I know Moog from Mighty Car Mods installed lowered springs on his Forester. |

If only two in front, maybe back a bit jumpy on bumpy road |

I know some pick up truck owners put two bags of cement in the load bed because it's so bouncy when it's unladen. That definitely a cheaper solution than suspension mods. |
