wheelogist 2nd Gear May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 Any Forester owner here retain the original fabric seats from Japan instead of the local leather seat. I find the local leather seat of low quality. Saw the the original fabric seat in Japan when I was there earlier this year and in IMHO, looks better than the local leather. According the SE I asked after test drive yesterday, there is a reduction of about 1K if choose to retain original fabric seat. Also took a test drive in the Levorg as recommended by SE as value for money buy. Pretty good performance though. What I like most is the interior quality. The leather seats and fittings are all from Japan and clearly it is a few notch higher in quality especially the leather seats. Only let down is the smaller leg room in second row compared to forester. However the boot space is bigger. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachdanom 2nd Gear May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 (edited) I made my decision actually due to auto tail gate and driver memory seat. Plus I am not a Zeng car guy, even rims also stock all the way. So I rather get a bit more power and nicer rims.Same as me. My wife and I will drive 50-50 of the car. I am 15cm taller than her and cant imagine using the slow electric buttons to adjust everytime. Tailgate, I will be the one carrying hands full of groceries quite often so it will be useful. Sure its not just for these for the extra 13k or so..I must admit as a guy the XT would make a "better" drive even if its mainly psychological boasting rights :-) ....also spend 110k liao why stinge on a bit more.

Iftiee 1st Gear May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 (edited) getting my FNA next week. any bros suggest what to check during collection? thx I personally prefer normal forester, as got sufficient power for Singapore roads. At RPM 2000 u are already at 100 km/h. Considering the increasing number of new digital cameras, very risky to speed these days. Anyway, my SE Kevin handed me over the vehicle with much patience. Please check the paint job very thoroughly, I collected mine last weekend but didn't see properly. I found that there were 2 x 1cm spots, when i got the glass coating done on my forester, yesterday. Can't blame the SE, for spots as he may not be aware even. Edited May 27, 2016 by Iftiee 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a ex civic driver.. what do u think is the reason? Is there suppose to be 4 light bulbs at the side air intake fin that should light up? Mine FL don't seems to have that...Nope.. the 4 dot is the Day Running Light.. not standard equipment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarion 4th Gear May 27, 2016 Share May 27, 2016 Nope, the New WRX and FXT uses the new FA20DIT engine, its timing chain already. The trim and equipments apart, the general difference between XT and NA is the engine and lower power. WRX STI is still on EJ25 engine... maybe he's referring to that WRX Wonder why civic 2.0 or 1.8 sometimes try to chiet FXT? As a ex civic driver.. what do u think is the reason? nothing better to do... or think his Civic is an FD2R when it's not... or maybe they still stuck in the era thinking all turbo got lag...

Although i do like the upgraded stereo but i can always upgrade myself. Haha. Thanks and cheers bro! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
