Well, Subaru does not have a Honda City, Honda Jazz or Honda Amaze anyway ... So, in that sense, Honda still has better quality and reliability than a Subaru ...

Best to buy the cheapest decent car for practice driving ... Buy 2nd if you can ...

The outgoing Subaru Forester XT is heavily discounted 150T-180T ... But the Honda will still be better given that it has a diesel engine and seats 7 in a pinch ... Although you have to consider that it's a newly released model so there are still bugs and initial quality concerns ...

Not everything is about speed ... Like the famous add says ... Speed is nothing without control ...

^^^ If diesel is the better option and speed is not that important, I guess everybody would be happy driving an Adventure or Crosswind. Apparently, this is not the case in real life.

The crosswind? Noisiest, most sluggish, most uncomfortable ride I've been. In my opinion.

When asking, aim for something more. Will Subaru ever put the FA20DIT on the XV? They may just call it XVT or WRX-V.

I plan on installing a Viofo A129 Duo front/rear dash cameras on my 2018 Subaru XV 2.0i-S. To utilize the parking mode feature of the camera, I would need to hardwire it to the fusebox of the car. This is not something that I've done before and I'm new with cars so I'll probably have it installed by a "professional". My question is what type of fuse taps do I need to purchase with this hardwire kit?

A129 Car Camera 3 Wire ACC Hardwire Kit Cable HK3 for Parking Mode

Viofo told me that I need to know which of the four fuse tap variants is compatible with my car. I figured that that is general information in this forum as a lot of people do modifications to their cars. To avoid the hassle of losing electrical warranty, I plan on disconnecting the whole camera whenever I send it for PMS/claim warranty from the casa.
