2015 Subaru XV

+1 on the Juke. Seems to have underestimated its qualities.

But not AWD ss the XV

I don't think AWD is necessary in a small CUV that isn't used for rough roads anyway. It's added weight which can affect fuel economy.

For cars like the Juke and Ecosport which have small engines, AWD is more of a burden than a boon.

Are you going offroad? Or drive fast in the rain?

People actually go offroading with their XVs......

Out of the hundreds of XVs sold in a month, very few do. And those that do most probably know enough about cars to differentiate the XV from the other soft-roader subcompact CUVs.

Yes, we also dont need a car that has more than 100hp, cant use it, cause of the traffic...

Very few SUVs go offroad. Period.
Id say more Forester/XV owners go offroad occasionally than Fortuner/Everest/Montero owners.

Yes, some people do. They even go off roading in their LC200s. The question is Would You?

The benefits of an all wheel drive doesn't only belong to off roading. Yes there is the added fuel consumption.

But when you compare the XV to other CUVs, the AWD of the XV is a benefit Juke and CX-3 don't have.

Speaking of offroading, what if nalubak Yung isang gulong mo at nagkabukol hence requiring replacement, are you required to replace all four tires given the AWD system?

I think i read that topic in subaruforester.org, What you cant have are staggered wheels, if you got a blown tire, just replace it with the same brand/model and size, if you change a tire(or a pair)with a different brand, you need to change them all. Its a weight issue.

Thanks for the lead Mr Big.

Nissan Juke and Mazda CX-3 have AWD models. With Subaru XV, you don't have a choice.

I stand corrected

No AWD Juke locally, just one FWD variant at 980k. CX3 unlikely to have AWD as well but we'll see if and when it gets launched here.

Hi Subaru XV owners! Anymore feedback about this car? I'm planning to buy one next year. My wife will drive it almost everyday.

About parts availability and pms cost? Can't do test drive at the moment.😑
What about winding roads? Hirap po ba ito sa paliko liko, sa bicol pa naman mostly curve roads.

i dont know if it has ATV( active torque vectoring ) like the xt, wrx and sti, but with its boxer engine, low center of gravity and its symetrical all wheel drive, youll have no problems in the corners, pms is at par with honda and you can bring your own fluids, may corkage nga lang, parts? raming xv sa roads, dont see i be an issue...
