Subaru XV or Rush/Expander

[Egan101]

The cheapest XV lang naman... almost the same pala ng RAV4 nasa 1.6M ang available.

But problem with RAV4 wala stock ata lagi... and I called my friend in Toyota may problem ang RAV4 regarding parts availability kasi kunti lang daw bumibili nun.

Mas marami pa ata Camry buyers which Toyota dealers don't store much on their inventory. No test drives also for the Camry and for order basis only.

We have a 15 year old '03 camry you don't see so often on the road anymore. Parts sa Toyota aren't so bad.

Current RAV4 shares engine with the current camry, so at least semi covered ka dun. plus I've never heard of any toyota na 'nawalan ng piyesa sa planta'.

Pero I guess it's a legitimate concern. Not sure lang ano local lifetime sales ng current generation RAV4 which is nearing end of life vs last generation XV (just to make a good comparison)

Based on some quick checking, the RAV4 sold 1000 units last year:

Subaru as a brand sold 3000 units in 2016.

I see more foresters than XVs so the number of XVs sold probably aren't a lot more than the RAVs. I am also assuming that Subaru didn't have crazy 2017 wherein nag triple yung sales or something.

Guesstimates lang lahat ito though. By this reasoning, I suppose parts for the XV should probably be == parts for the RAV4.

Yes sir hindi nawawaln ng piyesa sa planta ang Fortuner, Vios and yung mga mabili na Model sa kanila but yung hindi masyado mabenta hindi sila ganun nagstore ng Parts.

Yun din naiisip ko may nagsabi din sa akin na Sobrang Mahal ng piyesa ng subaru at mahirap maghagilap paglagagpas na ng 3years puro Casa pa din.

Innova? It's in the budget and you get a lot of car/metal for your money. The G's [available in Diesel] interior is not so plain looking.

Yung Montero and Fortuner may 100-200k off ata sa ngayon.

Civic RS also in the 1.5m range pero stretching the budget na ata.

Ask some VW dealers if they still have a few units left of the Golf GTS wagon.

Pwede rin but if (perception of) availability of future parts is a consideration, mas malala pa yun kesa sa RAV4 and Subarus hehehe

Among your choices and based on your replies... you are left with rush and xpander...

Test mo na lang yung two... feel ko you will be delighted sa xpander pero yung discount ni rush nakakatempt din...

If i have no other choice and limited lang among the two, kay xpander ako tanggap ko yung 2 airbags lang hehhe...

In the case of Subaru, if we are just talking of the usual consumable parts (like filters, brake pads, bushings, etc.), there are a lot of aftermarket shops where you can get them. There are even replacements if you're ok with them.

It will be become a challenge if we are talking about engine or tranny or suspension parts. However, such parts of modern vehicles are not always cheap.

Anytime i can schedule a test drive in Toyota... Supplier kami ni Toyota, I can go around plus I can have special discount.

I like the XV a lot but I'm looking also yung Rush but they say little under power.

Ano sinusupply mo sa toyota sir?

The Expander is much less expensive than the XV, can seat more people and has more cargo space.
The XV is an elevated sedan with AWD. For sure, it will be more thrilling to drive but but really depends on what you need but for me Xpander is looking to have more value.

precisely.
"they're onto a good thing."
why not you?

My heart says XV. My mind says Xpander. Forget the Rush.
