Subaru Forester

i don't think kaya ng 8km/l ang city driving lalo na sa fxt. and yes, pwede bumaba ng 4.5km/l depende sa gamit.. siguro malakas siya humataw. hehe. my fc on fxt, 60% hiway 40% city(bumper2x traffic). lumalabas asa mga 6.3-7km/l. ang nakakainis is pag na stuck sa traffic, makikita mo na bumababa yung fuel guage. nung napatune ko yung sa akin, 8-9km/l. same route plus more gunnit mode pa. malaki talaga tinipid. baka kasama mga mods dun sa 80k. stock tuning costs around 5-12k depende sa tuner and sometimes kasama na yung dyno.

Ilan ba actual fc ng fxt? Meron kc ako nababasa 8km/l city driving, meron naman nagsabi na 4.5km/l lang daw. And un friend ko na meron wrx sti, sabi sobra daw mahal ng tune up ng forester, aabutin daw 80k? Totoo ba un guys?

Pag licensed software gamit mo to tune like Ecutek 45k, kung na download lang sa internet ung program 12k. ingat sa mga "tuner".

Thanks for the quick response looks2008 & si06, Mataas pa din pala khit 45k lang. Oem of other parts are now available? Baka kasi hindi ko kayanin maintenance if ever makabili ako pro pag 12k bka kaya pa, it includes the spark plugs na din no?

Just don't break something from your car, especially exterior stuff. IT COSTS A LOT.

Ah.. You mean pms? Parang ordinary sasakyan lang din dagdag ka lang ng konti. Of course pag tumataas ang odo reading tumataas din ang cost. Ganun din naman sa iba. Tama si renzo. Huwag lang may masisira, bibihira kasi ang aftermarket at pricey sa m.i.

Regarding sa tuning naman. Tama si si06. Ingat sa mga tuner. Choose wisely.

Kung PMS ang pinag-uusapan, my sales rep gave me a table that contains the ff. info:

1st 1600 km or 1 month: P4,424* / P7,574**
10,000 km or 6 mos: P6,343* / P9,493**
20,000 km or 12 mos: P7,093* / P10,243**
30,000 km or 18 mos: P6,343* / P9,493**
40,000 km or 24 mos: P27,306* / 30,456**
... then cycle repeats itself for the next 20,000 kms.
*Shell or Motul Xcess
** Motul 300V

I haven't had my 1st 1600 km check-up so I'll take MI's word for it. Will see if there are surprises pag dating ng actual PMS, probably next month.

To read more about the Forester XT's FC, refer to the thread entitled 'Subaru Fuel Consumption Database.' Different drivers = different styles = a range of readings on FC. The basic reality is this: when buying a turbo-charged car with a relatively large displacement, expect loads of driving fun and a bigger appetite for fuel vs. same-segment SUV's w/ 2.0L, or even 2.4L fuel-injected engines.

+1 example headlight 90k. Don't crack the lens because you can't replace it alone but will have to buy the whole headlight assembly.

parts are cheaper in the US but are USDM. parts sourced from asia will cost the same because they are all MI dealerships
there is a bigger inventory of parts in Hong Kong if shorter down time is your concern.

mas maraming tuning parameters ang Ecutek kesa Unichip except that you are paying for the license which is not tangible unlike the piggy back Unichip.
