Subaru Forester

[wren]

obviously, bias ako , but since this car may be coming to RP soon, just a quick preview. hopefully they'll price it right and properly support subarus sa RP. if so, it may give the RAV4s, CRVs, etc. a run for their money, it'll certainly leave them in the dust.

naku...i like! :D

pero knowing them, normal forester lang siguro. di nga dinala yung WRX STi eh, WRX lang

[wren]

according to this, RP will be getting the 2.0X and the 2.5XT, wala nga lang yung Forester STi. heck, we don't get the STi, so why should you?

Kwento ko lang mga bossing.

Got to test drive the Forester last Sat. Edsa, Ortigas Ave, White Plains, Edsa.
I wanted to take it sana to Katipunan para ihataw, pero company policy did not allow it. We were 4 in the car so I could not really get a feel of the power, sanay kasi ako mag isa o 2 lang kami sa kotse. Anyway here are my comments on the car.

1. the interior has a very nice finish that is not too plasticky compared to compact sedans (exlucing the 2006 Civic), and especially when compared to the Tucson. Styling is very laid back, and not as stylishly cool as the interior of the new Vitara. Still, the classic look should look good for years to come.

2. there are 8 cupholders!

3. gotta love that 3 spoke steering wheel

4. power was fairly good, it accelerated smoothly but was not as jerky as a Rav4 (2 liter, 4wd, lighter body). I guess fuel economy might be down from the 2 liter rav because of the bigger body of the Forester.

5. I was shocked at the noise dampening properties. I redlined the Forester and no one in the car noticed.

6. Driving the Forester was very comfy, parang nagdadrive ako ng Toyota Highlander which I really enjoyed driving from Chicago to Ohio.

Anyway, eto lang mga observations ko, pasensya na Im not a pro reviewer kasi hehe. For the price, I would take this car. Considering its competition:

Suzuki Vitara
Toyota Fortuner
Mazda Tribute
Honda CRV

The Vitara and the Fortuner should give the Forester a good challenge sa sales charts.

I just wish I could take the Forester out to the back roads of Batangas. Going around Ortigas center wasn't really much of a test drive

MAy naka drive ng Forester 2.5 XT dito? Comments naman

Hi everyone,

I'm currently thinking of getting either a Subaru Forester XT or a Santa Fe CRDi. I've found a lot of information and user feedback on the Santa Fe but can't seem to find much on the Forester.

Test drove both and I prefer the Subaru .

Are there Subaru owners out there who'd like to share their experiences with their rides?

Thanks all.

[Horsepower]

Ask Bunge, he has both.

hp, ala pa yung forester nya. 530d pa lang.

My cousin's had a Forester 2.0 for 2 years yata. Sabi niya super reliable daw at super galing ng handling. Matipid pa daw siya for a 2.0. He recommended the 2.5 Turbo over the 2.0 though kasi daw sayang lang yung handling sa 2.0. hehehe. Tsaka konti lang daw ang difference sa fuel consumption.

The only negative I've heard so far regarding it is the cramped leg room at the back which I can't attest to yet since I'm still waiting for the new CRV which is my alternate.

[ca89056]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I've decided to go with the Forester . Sana lang ma-approve loan application ko.

motor image just came out with a refreshed 2016 forester, per ************

no wonder they were aggressively discounting the forester since january...

new bumpers, tail lights...

Hello. Meron SRS Airbags ang sides ng front seats ng Forester. Linagay mo ba ng seat and cover? Kasi kung linagay mo.. hindi mag deploy in case of accidents. Ano ginamit mo para ma cover seats sa harap at same time hindi ma affected yung SRS Side Airbags deployment?

Not putting on seat covers. Need to enjoy the leather. But I am using a pillow bolster as I find the seat uncomfortable and lacking lumbar support.

For those who replaced their tires already (2012 era Forester), what replacement tires did you buy? My tires are almost 5 years old and I'm intending to replace them (although mileage is only about 32,000 km)

Couldn't find acceptable replacements in my area so I went with the OEM tires. Spent around 20k for four. Wanted to try Kumho or Toyo.

Can anyone give the mobile (preferably Globe) contact number(s) of the Subaru dealer where you have your vehicle serviced? Need to inquire on driver's side tail light assembly price ... Thank you ...

Hi, what is the best cellphone holder (I used a Samsung S8+) to put in the Forester dashboard (how do you attach it) for waze map applications and where to purchase it? Thanks.
