2018 Subaru XV

[Egan101]

Is this true for all gas cars or is it more noticeable with CVT? I just drove our Fiesta and I feel that its gas pedal is a lot more sensitive than the XV. A little pressure on the pedal makes the car pull. I'm not sure if this is due to the small size of the Fiesta compared to the XV.

Partly to the size of the Fiesta and its DCT tranny. Subaru's CVT is softer off the line compared to Ford's CVT.

My Fiesta Ecoboost feels more responsive on throttle inputs and feels to pull harder off the line compared to my Forester XT despite the XT being a lot quicker to triple digit speeds.

Fiesta's dual clutch transmission is more responsive than a CVT and even with a conventional automatic transmission. The Mazda3 Skyactiv's automatic transmission is better though

I do find dual clutch trannies to be more responsive than conventional AT or CVT. Ford's DCT needs a bit of learning to get used to it but applying throttle input the same way like an MT car helps. VW's DSG is smoother and offers a feel more like a conventional AT. VW's DSG also shifts quicker than Ford's DCT.

new xv is fast to 100 but its awd and high gc will just drag it past 100...

How much improvement does the new FB20 engine offer compared to the older model? The previous gen XV sprints from 0 to 100 kmh in just over 10 seconds.

Can be become a leverage since nakalista sa list of deliverables.

I agree. Para mapakamot sa ulo yung mga SA's na kuripot sa pagbibigay ng mga freebies

Alright. I tried using M mode today and staying at 1st gear during inclines is the pull/feeling that I was looking for That just proves to me that higher gears are favored by the XV when driving in D mode to be more fuel efficient as suggested by *StockEngine

One more observation, btw. The seats of the 2.0i-S do not have lumbar support or at least there is no adjustment for it. It's just one of those things that I feel are necessary for comfort especially during long drives.

Same observation here on the seats.. my lower back hurt quite a bit on a drive to Sagada.

If I opt to have Parking Sensors installed from an outside party, will my warranty get void? It's just that the rear parking sensors from the casa are overpriced at 6.5K and they're only 2-eye. I can source my own, either from the US or anywhere locally, that has 8 sensors (front and rear) and even with a display at a significantly lower price (less than 2K).

Only on those the 3rd party installer touched. Most likely, all electronics tapped for the parking sensors.

So what do people do to avoid this?

Weigh it out... the pros and cons.

usually minimize mo na lang pag-atras, kung kaya mag u-turn na lang, if you need to go around with 4 left turns or 4 rights turns pwede din.

sa mga parking lot sa malls, park facing the wall.

if you have somebody with you, pababain mo muna siguro to guide you while backing up.

Most probably no cutting of wire's and may used connectors instead.

Either don't buy, buy orig or buy generic and live with the consequences?
