Hi Gurus,

 

I am looking at getting a Airtrek Turbo. Any current drivers or ex drivers who can give inputs on this ride?

 

Done a search and apparently not much has been discussed.

 

What is the FC that you getting? Heard horror stories about it but all are hearsay. No friends driving one.

 

Pls help.

 

thks

once i was considering between forester and the airtrek turbo, decided on airtrek turbo since i didn't like the coffin boxy look of the forester.

Assuming if you managed to get a "stock" Airtrek-R the FC you could get at best is probably 400km per tank at about 8km/L

sold quite sometime ago liao,initially i could get 400km per tank, later wat i got was more like 6.5km/l or about 300km per tank but this is after modding to 320bhp, eg change FMIC, evo 6.5 turbo, tuning.

frankly just stock + tuning is already very nice to drive....but you know la turbo car dont mod buy turbo for what......haha

 

maintenence , being turbo it's good to change engine oil every 5000KM....

the car is quite cheap now , can get a 05 for 40k around...

 

the gearbox is quite strong though only start to slip at about 350bhp if i remember correctly.

 

if you want some power and big size car at around 40k and looks good, this is it bro...

it came as a standard on mine, although some bros/dealers actually took it out to sell...lol

ws? aseop at amk.....evo engine in a suv for 40k where to find sia.....heh

 

another newer alternative is the VW Tiguan which i kinda of like and is the only car that i tink can match the masculine look of the Airtrek-R

albeit at a much higher cost...

damn.. the dealer told me that the ralliart meters are not standard. If i am gettin that unit, that means i wld have to install gauges.

 

Any active airtrek forums? googled but found nthing.

It's possible the earlier batches didn't come with it as standard.

Not a big deal actually you can go get some nicer looking defi gauges if you want....look for alex to tune the car later ...haha
