no chance, ascent replacing the tribeca. MI never sell tribeca before

with the trend of ppl buying 7seater vehicle nowadays...

probably can persuade them atleast to bring in the exiga or equivalent?

ya, safety was one of my prime concern. Forester got side airbag, while XV dont. The reason given by the sale was Forester has higher gravity, so higher chance of roll-over.

true that! dollar/car more value than xv, but then again it boils down to what wifey prefers no? get her to test drive BOTH > <

have you look at Bridgestone RE003?
I wish to get the better than good tyre for first change.

PS3 and PS4 are for sedans, not available for Forester tyre size (225/60R17)...

Not for this year for sure. The 2017 is still the same as 2016. Only XV different, not just minor plastic facelift I was told by the salesman. So, heavy discount on 2016 would be great the way I see it 

Ironically, Merc and BMW nowadays are quite fuel efficient due to their latest turbocharged engine for those lower range models..

Other models u mention i did considered but at the end shorlisted HRV and XV. XV 2.0iS is exactly almost similar as the crosstrek from wad the SA said. He said only name changes. But wad thy offer is the Crosstrek version. Maybe there is still stock left. HRV i did test drive before but nth special abt it from wad i felt. Going to test drive the XV soon
I am not in hurry to buy a new car as I have spare car now. Jz planning to change a small hatchback to compact Crossover. The Subaru SA estimate the new XV should be around rm155k. I nt sure how real it is but for sure it wont have much rebate compare to the current XV whn launching. I am interested with the XV also due to its rebate now and of cz its famous driving experience. Haha.
For XV 2.0iS and STI version,my SA said thy are nt getting any rebate info from the HQ so thy only know the original price. Quite weird. Haha. So far wad thy can offer are the 2.0i, 2.0ip and the Crosstrek variant.

u mean there is someone on fb selling this? because i am also looking for this brand

if u have, can u pls give me the fb link?

thanks

Big difference. The XV is a B-segment SUV (think Honda HRV, Mazda CX3, Mitsubishi ASX) and the Forester is a C-segment SUV (Mazda CX5, Honda CRV, Nissan XTrail). The obvious difference is the size. Do you need more space or is space not a consideration? The other difference, as you mentioned, is the looks. The XV looks sportier and younger where else the Forester is more boxy and some people find it a little bit "uncle-ish". But this is obviously subjective as beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Also, as you observed, the Forester 2.0iP has more bells and whistles than it's XV counterpart but they both have Subaru's Boxer Engine and Symmetrical AWD, so in terms of the fundamentals, they're quite close. The Forester is bigger and heavier, so naturally it will consume for fuel, but it's not worse than most SUVs in it's class (don't compare it with mid-size sedans, of course).

So, yeah, go test drive both and see which suits your needs more.

Cheers!

The old forester is a sleeper if you get the turbo version.. Is actually a WRX Sti in a wagon form with the same EJ20 engine but maybe different tune..

Oh each drive is fantastic ! Esp when you're at the traffic stop once the light turns green ...whoosh.....you're way ahead 😀
Few times when overtaking 4 to 5 long trailers and with two saloons in front tagging along..... haizzz it's a pain in the ass esp in trunk road...well even before the saloon in front get to see what's ahead you're  already half way passed those lorries 😁😁
Yes overtaking is like a breeze best of all you feel so confident and less danger too !!
Now I am worried the next new car for me would a new turbo Forrester.... Why?...because pockets not deep enough ...😬

high 5 bro...

mine is 99 SF5 
definately...plus with lower stance..ppl call it wagon instead of CUV/SUV for what it was designed for in the first place....
yeah...it is wrx with different tune and look....
but Subaru is really LEGO car....

this part fit that car/model and interchangeable depend on model year and chassis base....
for current gen XV and forester is sharing platform with impreza ver.10 onwards and legacy BE5 model if not mistaken...means everything from under the bonnet all the way to under the floor till rear of the car is interchangeable....
but some or most of them need full swap..it wont work if just 1 small part swap....
atleast major component like suspension stuff is plug n play

i've been their customer since 2008 when they are working at auto genesis. from ice to engine pnp mod done at my previous car. price is not the cheapest but it worth with the workmanship. u can pm(fb) them for more info
