2015 Forester 2.0

[Legacygts]

Anyone?

Bronze will go nice with brown leather.. But i will stick to black as its easier to maintain and anyway, the leather is not top notch.. So down the road if u r tired of black can then change to other colours.. U can get better leather outside.. Just my 2cents worth..

Supposed to have in the existing face lift of fxt. Anyone can confirm? Not sure if Mi shirt change us on this. Lol... Anyway, handling seems to be pretty good when going around gradual to slightly curved bends. Even when there is body rolls, u can feel all 4 wheels superglued to the ground. Really confidence in motion. Tried quite a number of similar size cross overs and not many can match its handling prowess, except for x3 xdrive, and q3 Quattro (2L). The rest of the japs offerings dun even come close. Tiguan's handling surprising isn't that fantastic. But maybe coz its fwd? Hmm haven tried any of the Korean offerings coz they r quite ex ($130k or more) eg sorento, Tucson, sportage. Heard that the Korean ones are very good in handling too but too ex for me so didn't even bother to try.

Thanks bro.. Hope its in our latest FXT.. Now waiting eagerly for my FXT.. By the way, r there any fb or whatsapp or forum for our FXT SJG model?

There is a closed FB group and also a whatsapp group, which i didnt join coz dun wanna tio poison lol...  Btw, the change in colour for leather is also change in quality. The upgraded leather is better in terms of quality. I only realized it when i took over my red fxt in terra brown leather.

[Yeowww]

Serious? Maybe the 240 horse all koonz during Long nshw drive coz traffic too slow? On sg roads, I dunno Tio chiet by odyssey how many times le... Lol maybe fxt can only chiet vezels and qq lol

Have you tried your FXT on a long drive on NSHW yet ?

[mrhan1982]

Nah, i dun like to go msia these days. Doubt i will ever fully utilized all the horses in the fxt. Anyway, i bought it not mainly for the turbo engine, but rather more for the HK sound system, the strengthen front suspension and stronger brakes. Anyway, this car is not designed to be a fast sports car. Its more of a good hauler for the family, especially when car is fully loaded with passengers and stuff. The back seats got leg rear room which is useful for me since i'm installing 2 car seats. So even if they are both rear facing, i still get decent room for myself and my front passenger. 

 

Hmm, with the tall height and big surface area, i'm not sure if it will perform well at high speeds (>150km/h) on the NSHW.

Wife loves the super white HID on the FXT. When at traffic light I can tell it is one of the brightest among cars. Also super cool is when you start engine when it's dark the lights will make a x shaped sweep...reminds of transformer eyes! - ok end of cool quote of the day :-)

I thought 50w40 is the norm for engine oil for most cars?

 

Obviously, many owner when buy their new car. Don't even bother to read the owner manual.

Most Japanese car now are made to run with 5W20 or 5W30 engine.

Even the FXT engine oil cap clearly state 5W30, but AD ignore to see it.

 

Why local AD still using 5W40 and mainly from the seehum brand because they get supply of 5W40 seehum oil in drum at very cheap price. For local AD, everything is about max their profit. 

5W40 oil are for car in the 90s...

FL head light is LED. Not HID.

Any good 5w30 to recommend for fxt? Any idea if MI has 5w30?

You can request for 5W30 for the servicing. They are using Shell Helix 5W30 if you request.

To me, seehum oil a lousy EO .

 

I like Castrol 0W30 or 5W30  with syntec..

[DioPian]

Anyone drove/rode in both the pre-2016 & 2016 models & notice significant improvement in soundproofing as Subaru claimed?

Shell Helix 5W30 and 5W40 are the two grades you can request without cash top-up. MI definitely has those. But you can also top up $ for Motul H-Tech 100 Plus 5W30, for example (I topped up for the Motul 0W20 for my Legacy, as specifically recommended in my owner's manual).

Decibels difference is negligible with the naked ears...unless you have a sound meter.

Ultra disappointment with the so called Harman Kardon system. Was expecting bit more clarity in the sound production. In my previous ride, i was using a pioneer midrange 1din HU as the original HU was spoiled after a while. I also changed to some taiwan brand speaker for the front 2 doors that the installer recommend with a top up of around $300 more and it sound so clear and solid even without any bass speaker nor amplifier. My CO and i will just suddenly mute the sound as it causing frustration and headache from time to time... 

[Pocus]

Believe it or not, I actually read from pg 1 to current.....

 

1 qn I have about the FXT is, do the S & S# modes also work on the reverse gear?

Lol

 

Reverse gear will not cancel out S and S# mode, but cvt limits the gear ratio.

 

Btw is Your last name "Swift"?

Sound is a very subjective thing. But I do agree the HK offering in the FXT did not really live up to its expectation.

 

While I don't deny the bass is pretty strong, a tad too strong for me but the system fail to bring out the high note of the music.

 

I suspect its also due to tweeter position on top of a weak crossover.

 

I have used the equalizer to drive up the high note and lower the mid range to get more clarity. Still not the best, but coming from a car with paper cone speakers, I can't complain much....

 

I would classify this system as the lowest range HK product you can get on OEM.

last time pple buy subies for the exhaust note

 

I guess now it's a different aural target

[Bobby_Chia_199]

Hi guys,

 

The service package price from MI, if signed up, does one still need to pay extra for engine oil, front/rear differential oil, axle oil etc?

Hi, is someone able to help?

 

Thanks!!
