[oliver1013]

Nasa same predicament ako ngayon 99% pabili na ng Forester like you before..pero bakit? I wanna know sana..You can also PM me your reason..

BAKIT ? BAKIT?

[Isuzoom]

I will get a 2.0il without test driving... I'm bringing her home tomorrow.

[oliver1013]

Makuha ko yung premium ko sa thurs...done analysing and overthinking..

yung 2.0 premium same features sa xt but without the turbo?

[EQAddict]

Does the premium have paddle shifters and the LCD screen just like the XT?

Nope..sana nga meron pero overkill na yun..

the premium's add ons and the price is like a carrot to lure rav 4,crv and cx5 buyers, just give them enough toys, and price it a little lower, then you have a winner. I think it worked, kasi isa na ako dun

[jepoy22]

sayang i got mine last january if only nasabi nila na may ilalabas na bagong variant but then again nasa marketing sila so they wouldnt tell kasi sayang benta. i would have loved the xt shoes info display and lcd with backup cam. im still happy with my purchase in 2 months halos 4500 na tinakbo. fc is good at an average of 11-12km per liter 75% highway drive. only draw of my unit is may parang na lalaglag na sound kapag binubuksan ang front passenger door. already consulted sa dealer pero parang useless sila.

[oliver1013]

Thats good FC...yung akin 38km palang at parang na stuck ata yung fuel guage..haha ayaw mabawasan, pero yung range niya nagbabawas...takte yan kabago bago kamot ulo ako ah...

sir oliver yung akin na observe ko na nababawasan ang bar level nya ng 1 every 50kms na ang na travel nya. tsaka yung distance to empty halos natest ko na accurate naman sya

[oliver1013]

After 38 kms total on my odo, one bar palang nababwas sa guage ko pero range is down to 190kms from 300kms full tank.purely city driving.theres something amiss here..one of them is not woking properly..hehe..

[Calistro]

^ Have you read about the faulty fuel gauge sensor on the XV thread? That is possible.

Hi guys, is it true that the top speed of the forester xt is limited to 180kph? Somebody told me kase and I'm planning to buy one. It's not really a deal breaker but it would be nice to know that a car with that much horsepower can go beyond 200kph. Thanks.

[foresterx]

190kph for the non turbo and 210kph for the xt.

[zechs]

so tatlo na variants ng forester right? yung bago is yung 2.0li premium?

[beege_b]

190kph for the non turbo and 210kph for the xt.

*foresterx thanks!

[foresterx]

*foresterx thanks!

you're welcome, it's not the top speed by the way. it's just speed limited to 210kph but can be removed with a simple tune.

[K1elers]

sir, kamusta yung prob na ito?? Yung akin nag ka ganito pero ang ginawa ko tinagal ko yung bat for 5mins then balik. As of now hindi na nag ka prob sa fuel bar.

[oliver1013]

Inoobserbahan ko pa sir, so far 67km na tinakbo, nagbawas na ng 2 bar, yung range niya naman naglalaro from 190-200km minsan nag 210km depende sa takbo, mukang nagcocompute yung computer depende sa konsumo ng patakbo. As for the removing of the battery, tinanong ko sa SA ko kung pwede kasi sabi ko nga nakita ko sa forums, sabi huwag daw, tingnan muna nila. Pero di ko muna dinadala baka naninibago lang ako, obserbahan ko muna.

That is correct. The current line up for the Forester is:

2.0i-L
2.0i-L Premium
2.0XT

Tama kaya tong readings ng gauges ko after a week of ownership. Kakauwi ko lang ngayon galing Sta Rosa Laguna from Mindanao ave in QC. Short bursts of 120km/h mga wala pang 5 mins, papunta at pauwi sa SLEX pero most of the time nasa 80km/h. Standard gapang sa C5. Tapos previous days puro city driving going to malls at sundo ng bata sa katipunan with the usual traffic there. Tapos may times na naka start lang at naka idle sa garahe kasi tinetesting ko mga features.

My total odo reading is 259km, got the car from casa with 8km. So mga 251km na na drive ko. BTW when I got the car sa MI naka ilaw na ang gas light, dumiretso ako sa Petron na malapit and finulltank ko ng XCS without switching off the engine, around P2900 yun. Till now di pa ko nagkarga uli.
Avg speed lifetime is 16k/h
I have 5 bars left in my fuel guage. Range reads 340km..parang ang weird may 340km pa raw ako pero below ½ na ang fuel ko as per the guage.
13.2L/100km ang average consumption ko ever since.

acceptable na ba itong consumption na to? tama ba reading ng guages ko?
