Isa pa is mas future proof ang CX-5 kaysa sa XT considering the price.... next year most likely refresh pa rin naman ang Forester.
The CX5 AWD was a serious consideration for us last year. However, the Forester has a bigger interior and trunk compared to the CX5. The CX5 feels more plush inside though but I like the more utilitarian demeanor of the Forester. In terms of performance though, the FXT just trumps the competition. The CX5 offers sharper handling but the FXT offers ample grip, very quick acceleration, and can be utterly fast when needed.

By the way, Motor Image (local Subie dealership) allows you to bring your own oil and parts at a small corkage fee.
