Subaru Forester

[Egan101]

Hi guys does anyone here know where can I find a subaru forester any variant 2017 model with heavy discounts. It seems that the 2017 model is the same as the 2018 model. Someone offered us a 80k discount for the base variant 2017 model. Anyone here who knows someone who can give us a better price? Thank in advance

Go back to that dealer which offered you an 80k discount. I just got back from Motor Image BGC and my sales agent told me they offer no more discount on XV and Forester models. Only the Legacy is offered at a 200k discount.

Same thing happened yesterday to my 09 impreza. Now the power fold mirror on the driver side wont operate. Other side is fine. The whirring sound of the gear wont stop so inalis ko muna yun fuse. Weird lang is that it happened after a carwash. Siguro pinasukan ng tubig yun gears hmm

Yun ganyan ba "magagawan pa ng paraan"? or outright parts replacement na because the side mirror motor and gears are in a sealed case? Is it wishful thinking that MI would be willing to tinker with it first before saying "outright replacement"?

Called Fusion R just to test the waters - outright replacement with original parts ang sabi sa phone. I guess it's the same spiel for new customers to have higher sales?

Dealership and some stores prefer to have defective parts replaced outright instead of spending a lot of time figuring out what's wrong. It's practical and less hassle for the repair shop but of course would cause an arm and leg deal for the car owner. That's business.

You can try having it checked by electricians. Its easy to remove the side mirror motor, starting with the door panels.

Can I ask po if pwede palitan yung instrument cluster to the one like the 2017 xt? Pati po yung multi information display? Kasi po yung forester namin yung monochrome pa po

I am not sure about that. Some of the information displayed are only applicable to the XT (turbo boost pressure). The AWD display will be useful for all Forester models and so with the fuel efficiency, range, engine temperature, and percentage acceleration.

I've seen a post na need pa i pair reprogran ang key sa instrument cluster.

Guys, there has been incidents of FA20DIT ng forester na tunog diesel sa facebook groups.

The in house tuner of Fusion R is currently on the case.

They suspect it's rod knock, valve shims?, detonation, and even oil starvation.

The FA20 has a distinct rumble at idle. I have observed it in my FXT and from a WRX I heard nearby. It's not like a diesel engine though. It's not heard from the inside of the cabin.

Have you seen the videos posted in the facebook groups? Mejo bothering kasi hindi siya smooth pakinggan.

They said it has to do with the design of the boxer engine. It happens on cold starts and idle mode. Once the vehicle is cruising, the noise goes away.

A Honda CR-V would be a little bit cheaper to maintain ... spark plug replacement on a Subaru boxer engine would have costly labor ... and a 4x2 Honda CR-V would need less lubricants on the drivetrain compared to a Subaru all wheel drive ...

[BlancNoir]

Yes. Also the timing belt replacement would be more expensive. Around 40 to 45k i think.

But the sheer pleasure of the XT will make it all worth it.

Over the phone, it was like Php18k including half a day’s worth of labor.

Beyond Fusion R, not sure who else to contact.

Any suggestions guys?

Look for Riz Flavier of Subaru Greenhills she might help you on the allocated units.

I canvassed around and got same price range at 20k. An option is to find a surplus/partout mirror assembly. Also puwede daw ipa disconnect isang specific side para gumana pa yun folding/controls nun isa. Imo hindi na worth it ipagawa sa price na 20k itong power side mirror lang. Ang problema ko lang is hindi ko ma manual fold kasi may gear lock sa loob.
