2018 Subaru XV

[lancy09]

Hi folks. Need some advise. Planning to buy the TOTL XV. My SA's quote is 1,589.800 inclusive of TPL and an 80K discount. Is this a good deal already? Also I'm a bit confused, According to my SA the TOTL 2.0i S CVT with Eyesight already has rear camera and rear sensor. Checking the other threads someone said that there's no rear camera nor rear sensor. Which is which.

1,588,000 from my agent plus additional 20k discount for approval. Don’t know the freebies.

You mean, like crv,cx5 and the like?
Which has more premium feel of the 3 (xv,crv and cx5)?
For the space we know its the crv... specs and features would also be a factor in choosing in addition to the interior on which those models are known to be best...

The XV falls at a lower category than the usual CUV. Even though it is priced about the same as some CUVs, its main competitors are the Ecosport, Trax, and HRV in the small crossover category of which the XV is the most equipped, biggest, and most capable.

It is the Forester that is Subie's direct competitors to the CX5, CRV, Xtrail, and RAV4. The Forester is one of the biggest among the CUVs and among the Japanese/Korean manufacturers, only Subaru markets a performance-oriented CUV (Forester XT).

Check other brands. What other vehicle can you buy with such an amount?

I'm already set with this particular model. I want an SUV with Apple Car Play, Cruise Control, paddle shifters, moonroof, sensors and active parking assist. The only feature it lacks is active parking assist which afaik is only present on highend Everests and the Ford Focus which is a sedan. From my price point of 1.6 M or less, this is the only option.

Can you pm me your SA's contact details? Thanks.

Ako naman, balewala na sakin specs. Ginawa ko:

1. Knew my price range
2. Got the top 3-4 cars in the looks department for my own taste -- don't mind the specs yet
3. Test drove the 3-4 in the same 2 weeks, libre naman saka para may "participation" si Mrs. sa pag pili nyahaha

I was initially leaning towards the Tucson or CX5 because of the spec sheet, parang "never heard" pa si XV sakin nun simula -- but after test driving 3, XV vs Tucson vx CX5 -- best fit si XV.

Take note, iba ang best car sa best fit. Ang best car talaga sa tatlo para sakin si CX5. Panalo specs-wise at compute-compute sa utak at nood-nood sa youtube, even some practicality dahil sa Youjin3 panalo din, okay din service nun SA, pero in the end naging Top 2 ko si CX5 bago ko binili si XV.

Iba ang test drive kasi. Sa youtube palagi sinasabi bitin power ni XV, pero pag test drive OK naman. I think kasi sanay sa 300HP mga reviewer, pero if coming from a 5 year old or more SUV/Car, adequate. CVT is not the same as an automatic transmission, magkaiba ang hatak, dpende kung pano ka mag drive kung magugustuhan mo o hindi, power vs smoothness. Iba din ang pakiramdam ng AWD kahit normal driving, mabigat yun components sa ilalim kesa sa taas so iba yun sway at alog. Mas stable ang AWD, pero yun mg FWD mas "dynamic" ika nga -- went with smooth/stable.

Cargo? Sa specs parang ang laki ng difference, pero pag nakita --- dpende sa balak lagay sa trunk. Parehas lang namang 5 seater if kelangan ng malaki get a 7 seater. For my use case, parehas naman kasya isang bike na tinangalan ng front wheel sa likod w/o folding seats so okay na sakin yun cargo space. Ang difference ni CX5 at XV: Pag pinuno mo cguro ng gamit si CX5 tapos nilipat mo yun same gamit sa XV, mga 2 backpack difference, kelangan na kalungin ng pasahero.

Cabin feel? Iba rin pag nakita mo lahat ng pinagpipilian. Mukgang mas mahal tingnan yun CX5, ganda ng leather, impressive. Pero again babagsak sa use-case, kids? toddlers? Ahay, ndi bagay yun CX5, bagay sya if teenagers na cguro anak, or couple -or- pag single meron ka na pang impress sa nililigawan. Ahaha, or again if may teenage boy ka tapos papahiram mo, patok yan. Use case ko yun 1 toddler, possibly 2 in the next few years -- hakot bike or hakot stroller etc, AWD na kung saan saan, sakto lang yun XV.

Actually, gusto ko nga yun cloth seats lang for XV for my use case, hindi lang pwede palitan sabi ng casa.

Ayun, never looked at the spec sheets nun 2 weeks na yun.

Big bonus yun Eyesight kasi nun nag-test drive ako wala pa. Took the chance, isa ako sa unang nagpa-reserve kahit na wala unit for test-drive. Sa utak ko bahla na pwede naman i-off. Logic ko nun, kasi hindi lang naman ako mag-d-drive. My wife maybe drives 15-20 days a year lang vs ako na halos every day. Dahil sa feature, baka mas confident sya gamitin. E nagkataon sarap pala kahit sakin.

Also -- after ko na nabili napanood, pero napanood nyo na ba crash test vid ni XV? Best feature pala yun kaha haha.

The speakers are absolute crap on both the 2018 2.0, 2.0-i, and 2.0-i w/ eyesight.

Does anyone a local solution for this?

I don't want to replace the head unit.

FM? They sound better if you use Spotify via Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
