    Unless you wear PPE while driving, this should be the least of your worries. Just ensure you don't touch your face after touching unsanitized surfaces.
    When I visit hospitals or doctors clinics for appointment and use PPE (face shield, etc). I put them on the empty front passenger seats or even back seats. I imagined the viruses settling into the clothe and difficult to clean. Whereas if it is synthetic leather, easier to clean as the virus are more concentrated on the surface. Pero it seems you meant mas mabilis maka infect sa iba if leather or smooth surface? Hmm...

    Synthetic leather is made from PVC or PU, and covid survives up to 3 days in plastics. Real leather seats are surface-treated and unlikely porous so it might be similar. Cloth seats are porous so its safer if you're worried about transmission.

    Only 8 hours for aluminum and 4 hours for copper and its alloys like brass and bronze.

    With a car's interior acting like a greenhouse, viral decay rate is much faster so transmission from touching your seat is highly unlikely in a day's time. Just leave your car exposed to the sun for a few hours.

    Hi. Just got my 2018 FXT. Has anyone had the tS conversion? What shop in Metro Manila does this? Thank you.

    Do you want to change the looks or do you want to update the ECU? Aesthetic upgrades are easily done but on the engine/tranny side has limits.

    The XT does around 170-180hp at the wheels in stock tune. There are shops that can bump it up to around 200-210 with a mild tune (ECU reflash + intake upgrade).

    There’s a limit to tuning the capabilities of the XT. The CVT tranny can only handle up to 400Nm so any more torque will wreck the tranny.

    If you ask me, keep it stock as the SJ XT is the last of its kind unless Subaru brings back the XT.

    Thank you for the reply. I was just planning some strut braces front and back. Plus thicker sway bars, perhaps. I heard about the STI Flexible Strut Tower Brace. Curious. Also some steering dampers, maybe.

    I wont touch the ECU or TCM.

    With Android auto ba lahat ng variants ng Forester or yung GT variants lang gaya ng sabi sa website? Sabi kasi isang nakausap ko ay lahat meron pero yung isa ding nakausap ko ay GT lang.

    Sa Forester SK (2019 onwards) na eto. The 2013-2018 Forester SJ didn’t have Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

    Pa check mo sa FusionR or 2211. Baka mas affordable.
