Maybe..but after experiencing problems eg arm bush failure, leaking engine, i decided to let go of my forester before anything else comes up.

I hear you, as reliable as certain brands are reputed for, some ppl have no luck with it
and vice versa... some ppl owned Peugeots for generations without issues

That why i say sad that most people in Malaysia are not well informed of the safety features.
Even the chassis is well built and serve as a roll cage for protection (Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame).  icon_idea.gif

susah also to advertise all these features, don't ask don't tell

I simply tell ppl, you want handling, CX5, you want safety, XV, you want amoi, HRV, you want wife, Cross (it's a bit shallow, but just for laughs)

LoL, correct also.

Still Xv handling also not bad, i tested CX5 & Xv before at hill areas for similar 2.0L Xv is more fun as you can slide thru corners more plated (maybe due to the lower seating boxer engine & AWD).

not forgetting 2 wheeled vs AWD G-vectoring....

I thought it's a trick question
met a few XV Forester owners is because they usually spend time off road
