Placebo effect

So so only

Yea bmw ix is quite popular. Or maybe its huge size making it standing out

By right at 400k price it should be quite rare

Subaru's pickup feels "sluggish" because it's a full time AWD, engine need to move all 4 wheels during pickup.

Other's claim AWD but is torque on demand, so most of the time only drive 2 wheels, that's why those fake AWD seems to have faster pickup off the line.

Owned 3 Subaru's before, 2 were turbo.

the pickup is definitely alright for a 2.0 CVT SUV.

not zoom zoom kind like HRV turbo, but it sure is not sluggish for normal use, suspension set up is quite good too.

It's not sluggish, it's the character.

I am just quoting those that complain about it's pickup.

Yes, it's perfectly ok but many bought Subaru due to the WRX bloodline and expecting performance of STI.

Yep.

The slight character for having full time AWD.

This model isn’t problematic
The only problem is they don’t know how to spec it. I wanted to buy back in 2020 but highest trim don’t have leather seat

I told sa Takpe I go next door and get a cx5

Flat4 engine, on long high rev run, first thing to go is usually rocker cover gasket or top gasket or whatever you call it. Not major issue but need to look for it and have it replaced. With CVT gearbox, you don't usually keep the rev above 3500rpm for very long. The problem of rocker cover leak is now prolong'ed to much higher mileage before it occurs.

The annoying electric power steering rack rattling issue that hit nearly all cars (not just Subaru) will come to you sooner or later.

Aircond is another issue for Subaru, especially CBU units from Japan. Local CKD units fare better but since I no longer own any Subaru for 5 years now, I had not been following the trend of this topic.

Otherwise, it's pretty much a bomb proof car.

As usual, the weakest part of Subaru are two:-
(1) after sales service in Malaysia, plus availability of parts,
(2) can they farking get a better designer to design the car? Ugly as F for so many years.. 🤪


ok, be fair, there isn't many OEM part maker for Subaru. Parts come from Japan mostly. Hence expensive and not commonly available.

subbie goes wild
