Sa amin base model lang, I'm 6ft3, no problems at all with my back. Have not tried though with long drives more than 2 hours, but it is more comfy than our Jazz or old Accord.

It's happening with two phones, one more frequent than the other. It's not the USB cable since I have the original cables and also tried an Anker cable that's only around 1 to 2 ft. There's really something wrong with these Starlink units. It's a very common issue and is discussed at great length here.

Report ko na lang sa next PMS just in case need to replace while under warranty. Have read those forum posts before but at least for the first 11 months there were minimal issues, lately lang medyo buggy.

Same problem using two different phones.

I will try using another USB Cable just in case, but wanted to know if anyone else had problems.

Yeah, ako din irereport ko na sa next PMS ko. Nung una kasi sabi ko baka firmware update lang, kaya pinaupdate ko. Although nabawasan yung mga issues, andun parin siya every now and then. The more na magreport sa kanila nito, the more na seseryosohin nila yung issue. Kaya please don't hesistate to report as it'll help everyone who has a 2018 XV.

I have back problems din, mahirap talaga maka-hanap ng pwesto for long drives. Ang gawin mo iba yun pwesto mo pag long drive kesa daily.

Try mo sa steering wheel i-adjust, mas mababa at mas malapit sa katawan mas maganda para yun elbows mo naka relax lang. Wag mo na pansinin if di mo makita yun gage cluster if pwede.

Ito yun kagandahan if power adjust yun driver's seat. Ginagawa ko pag long drive tapos sumasakit na forward-atras paunti-unti-unti yun upuan from time to time, para paiba-iba yun pwesto ng braso, hindi ngalay.

Subaru's take on why it's not offering a turbo version of the XV/Crosstek. It is just too popular and they can only field a turbo XV or a new Forester XT if there is a lot more interest on them.

Got to read that a few days ago. They are selling like hotcakes for NA engines but they can make a big splash by offering the new platform with turbo power. No idea why they can't turbo the newer SUVs if Levorg with the same platform has one.

Imagine an XV with a 2.0T from the Levorg, heck even just the 1.6T. Everyone's been asking for it for the longest time. Then just swap the CVT for a normal 6 speed, it'll be perfect.
