July 12th, 2019 07:14 PM #12Turbo petrols are still rather scarce in our market. What we have a lot of are turbo diesels. And in my experience with these, normally aspirated engines are pretty much always more fuel efficient than turbocharged engines, just because they are physically incapable of consuming more fuel with the absence of forced induction.
Closest real life example I can quote is my former daily driver, a Toyota Revo 2.4 diesel 5MT and current daily driver, a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi 5AT.
Revo: 7-8 city,12-14 highway
Santa Fe: 5-6 city, also 12-14 highway
Highway for me entails maintaining speeds mostly around 100-120km/h. Though the Revo screams its head off running 100 at 3200rpm and 120 at 3800rpm, while the Santa Fe does 100 at just 1900rpm and 120 at 2100rpm. I would've expected the Santa Fe to be significantly thriftier, but consumption ended up more or less the same when driving out of town.

having boost is more fun
hearing the turbo spool up, hit boost, rev to redline, shift, hear the sound of the blow off valve...
puts a smile on your face

I used to drive daily solely turbo gas vehicles. I have no issues driving them thru traffic every day.

July 13th, 2019 11:12 AM #17With the new extended warranty of Subaru up to 5 years now, which is 2 years more than its Japanese counterparts here (and I think matches the 2 Koreans now - I'm not sure if Kia has the 5 year warranty here like Hyundai), it is definitely a good consideration if the owner is concerned about mechanical parts prematurely failing. =)
Question though, I haven't personally owned/maintained Subaru's but previous readings (we're talking about 5 to 7 years ago) mentioned that the boxer engines tend to burn engine oil quicker than comparable engines? Is this true now with the current lineup?
Should this be true, does it mean that even if we use Fully Synthetic, a top up should be in order every 5k kms or 6mos, even if you don't reach the mileage much? Thanks.

July 13th, 2019 12:21 PM #20good day sir!
i have a 2012 forester xs (pre cvt era)and a 2017 forester xt, i prefer the feel of naturally aspirated here in the city but i think parang bitin sa akin ying 2.0, NA, but when i drive the xt, parang too much power naman, parang may whiplash ako,
parang iba din yung boxer engine sound ng NA ( which i like it more) compared to the XT
im thinking kung sana lng may 2.5 NA na forester dito sa pilipinas
