subaru XV ang pangit grabe, para sya dodge challenger ba yun, mukhang suv pero parang hb sedan lang. anyways, I'd rather get a Nissan Xtrail than get anything Subaru. i really dont get this hype about Subaru vehicles but I don't dance. there cars are odd-looking add to that, matinde siguro maintenance nyan.

para sya yun Blackberry Playbook na pitted against Ipad and Samsung Tablets.

if you like the tune of "fun to drive"... then you might start dancing with the subarus sir.... thats their forte...

Ang mahirap lang with Subarus is the maintenance, lalo na kung sanay ka sa casa at malayo ka sa iilan nilang casa. Then there's the problem of parts availability which is of course still not as widespread as the more mainstream brands. And also I have yet to know of a single fuel efficient Subaru car. Practicality issues aside, these are a joy to drive indeed!

Between the micro-SUVs - Mitsubishi ASX, Mazda CX5, Subaru XV, I actually like the XV the most. When I first got into one, I was polarized by its looks, but after seeing several of them around our village, I've kinda grown to like it. I find that it looks better proportioned than the Lancer-on-stilts that is the ASX.

While I prefer more traditional SUVs over raised sedans, if it was the Forester XS and the XV, I'd prefer the XV just because I don't find the Forester all that impressive. Change the choice to a Tucson R-eVGT though and I'd change my mind.

Between the XV and Forester XS, I'd prefer the XV. CVT and the same engine should mean that it is more fuel efficient than the Forester. Interior design is also much better. I don't know with everyone else, but the Forester's interior screams generic Toyota to me.
