I think if just 3 probably will be ok. But small kids and balik kampung in my personal experience is stroller + milk and this and that lol. Only you will know I guess. With my Gen 1 myvi it was a disaster for me at 200l and 1 baby, to the point I gave up travelling with it when I had 2 lol.

Now for the more important issue of lacking ADAS, I will not spend over 100k for a car without it.

I’d personally rather buy a HRV and save the coin. Or an xpander or something…

I always travel with my Xv some more with 4 adults during holidays to Thailand & around Malaysia, i believe is all about how you manage the stuff and you got roof liner to add on thule or additional cargo carrier. If just 3 person, you can always fold the rear seats down half and extend the space. Not to say bad about HRV, in order to increase inner space the side door plastic panel & door they make it thinner. If you go do some research about side door impact Honda HRV scored the worse now in it's category.

In a few different tests, the Honda HR-V received Good ratings. This is the highest score a vehicle can earn. But in the updated side safety test, it got a poor rating. This is the lowest score possible.

The HR-V’s B-Piller or verticle roof support tore away from the frame, allowing the side of the vehicle to crush inward. It almost hit the center of the driver’s seat. It struggled with structural issues and failed to protect crash dummies from head and pelvic injuries.

BTW this is compared with the current old HR-V.

You also got a point there… but in the general scheme of safety I think if TS wanna give up ADAS then the consideration for active and passive safety features would be a lot different by then. Possibly any modern subaru would be a clear winner in the non ADAS category, the question is, is it worth it to spend north of 120k ? My own answer is clear no, not when a Ativa can do it for 70k and carry 4 adults too. Or a myvi can do the similar job for 60k.

4 adults is never really a difficulty, it’s often the kids that need the most provisions. Adults on the other hand can go outstation for days with just a backpack if necessary.

Forget to add on, usually we went for camping & fishing trip for at least 3~4 days and the stuff is damn a lot.
Just imagine 1 person bring at least 2~3 fishing rod with 6~7 feet length in the ride, 1 bag pack + sleeping bag, tent, camping accessories & 60~100L of cooler box (sometime got 2 box) in the rear with all the ice & food. All come down on how you arrange the stuff like playing mix & match.

Just get altis. U gonna cry with civic quality. Totally trash. Honda quality is depreciating every year

so i finally decided to book for a subaru XV 2021 as i think paying 131k is kind of my limit already. now waiting for my car to be delivered

congrats, this is the new one or the old one?

i went with the old 1, without eyesight
the price for eyesight is out of my budget, and the changes really just that eyesight itself only

Can I know what is the price you paid for in the end? Did you get the year end discount?

You will enjoy the car on the road dont worry. Which color did you picked?

Bro, good decision.
When received you may join the Subaru Xv Club Malaysia in fb to gain more support and event.

I took GT spec, the final price that i get from them is 131,788. Free 3+2 years of free labours and parts service. Free tinting + coating.
The breakdown of the discount based on what i asked them is 5k tax rebate, 2k subaru rebate, the rest from salesman pocket

Hopefully, 1 of the reason i went for xv is because of the driving feelings i got during test drive. I took the dark blue GT.

Thanks, i already joined a subaru xv malaysia fb group, but its an open group and i saw a lot of ppl posting ads in there

Subaru Xv Club Malaysia got a close group for real owners.
When received your ride you can join in that group.

can i ask 1 thing, how much more is the eye sight version according to your sales?

I am wondering, the GT is price tagged at RM137,788 which I think you received 5k SST, 2k Company discount and around 1k Salesman commission.

Does it mean, eye-sight model starting at Rm139,788 can be had for RM133,788 according to your discounts..? Its still in my purchase consideration hahaha.

sure, will get in touch with you after i collect my car.
Based on what he told me, there's an increase of 8 or 9k rrp, and subaru discount doesn't apply on that case. So i did not pursue further based on that info, cause i also vaguely remember i saw on paultan mentioned the GT version will be starting at 14xk something.

Zigg wheels

edit - I think they nett nett without all discounts, will be 8 to 9k more as you said above...i'm tempted to call them to ask haha.

go go, have a check with them and see

Actually other than eyesight it also come with Subaru X-Mode and SI Drive (drive mode selector) for the facelift

But yeah not many people will actually need and use this, so in the end the savings for going to the pre facelift can be worth to some as well

got do some offroading then get Scubbie XV or Forrester.

just highway travels, Camry will do the job just fine.

Did you just recommended a 180-190k car when TS max 130k budget? Maybach S-Class will also do the job just fine.
