    1. No oil consumption on my FA20DIT and I use 5w30 FS oil. I think the oil consumption issue is related with the EJ25 engine.

    2. None

    3. None

    4. No issues so far with the aircon and I hope it stays that way.

    5. Changed my front lower arm bushings at 32k kilometers. Spent around 4k for the 4 bushings plus labor.

    6. FC on heavy traffic areas like BGC is around 5 km/L, medium city traffic would be around 7 km/L, spirited highway driving gets me 10 km/L, highway driving doing only 80-90 kmh can do 12 km/L.

    Where did you buy the suspension parts for your SJ sir? Ang mahal kase ng quote sakin ng Subaru Greenhills for replacement of bushings + stab link + labor.

    Go to HMS Auto Saloon in Banawe. They offer original and replacement bushings. Replacement ones are just 500 each and most say they last as long as original ones. By the way, Subaru uses the same bushing for the SG, SH, and SJ Foresters.

    I had the bushings installed at Velocity Underchassis in Mandaluyong for less than 2k and that includes machine pressing of the bushings.

    3. Cylinder head gasket problem.<~ replaced once, both sides. Mura part, mahal labor.

    4. Aircon problems. 2x evaporator, 1x thermistor
    At what odometer reading (or vehicle age) did the head gasket and evaporator leak?

    mazda6 and the xv are rated reliable by consumer reports.

    sure the older models are not as reliable but newer models tend to improve. example.. really old honda jazz... its improved over the years.

    I wouldn’t buy an overpriced CUV for just its brand name. Given a choice between a Forester or CX5 over a RAV4 for the price they have now, it’s a no brainer unless I’m a Toyota fanboi.

    Or maybe an Altis 2.0V over a Mazda3 2.0R, there is no question.
