Subaru Forester

[looks2008]

To all who share their personal opinion to me,
Thank you so much,
Tama po kayo, am after the discount (SA offering 40k) and HU/sub-woofer
of the previous model. . ,
Again, maraming salamat po

Kaya pa yan taasan. Konting kiliti pa.

anybody with tower bar on their fxt? what difference does it make?and where can i buy one?tnx

[lastpogi]

anyone could share where can i buy this Ceratec oil additive for my Forester x?...Fussion R is out of stock.

[imperialv]

imho, better get the 2011 model.. mas gusto ko yung gauge ng bago... yung sub naman ng fxt mahina.. mas mura mag pa upgrade compared sa palit bagong gauge...

Malaki ba advantage ng Ceratec oil???

on a 2.0 forester, not really didn't even feel any difference. on my last PMS i used rp xpr and ceratec and always use blaze100, didn't feel any change. maybe on turbo cars it might make a difference?

Guys, few questions lang po...

Yesterday while driving home, i got interested stopping by the Subaru showroom in our place to check the Forester... I asked for its brochure and just left... malapit na kasi closing time kaya nagmadali na rin ako...

1. How much is the average cost of PMS for the Forester 2.0XS?
2. Just a minimum concern, does it require high octane rating on fuel?
3. What about its fuel consumption, particularly highway use?

Thanks!

1. 4-6k every pms
2. no, just don't use the lowest rating gas.
3. i average 6-8km/ltr on highway but i'm heavy on my feet, i think it can do 8-10km/ltr if you drive slowly or just cruise instead of hataw mode.

1. about 4 to6K every 10K km. But on the 40thousandth you have to shell out a little more than 30K.
2. I use petron unleaded, sometimes seaoil extreme97
3. based on the car's computer i consume 9.2L/100 km.

thanks po... i guess it can match my current ride, except for the 40,000km PMS cost...

will still conduct a "feasibility study" of owning one before deciding to change my ride... thanks for the answers!!

you're welcome bro, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. btw what car will you replace?

thanks po!! i currently drive a Fortuner 2.7G... I am the only one using it everyday, often used by my family since drivers na kaming magkakapatid...

ako na lang ang single samin, kaya i love the aura of the Forester it gives, bachelor-type... Forester's 4-6k PMS every 10000km is not bad vs Fortuner's 2k (every 5000km) and 5k (every 10000km) PMS... mabigat lang sakin yung 40000km interval, 30k+ on Forester vs 15k+ on Fortuner... and it's hard for me to let go of my Fort; it's my mom's gift for my 21st birthday and graduation (that was 5 years ago), that's why the sentiments are so strong...

not in a hurry anyway, pag aaralan ko muna ng maigi, since it will now be my money that will be used on purchasing... hehe...

trust me, once you drive the FXT you'll want to replace your fortuner asap. lalo na since your young and binata pa. the FXT will out run and out handle a lot of cars on the road, even the genesis coupe and wrx will have a hard time out running and out handling the FXT, just imagine what it would do against civics and lancers. and you get the space and comfort of a cuv while having all that performance.

Guys, I am planning to buy a 2.5 forester but I am considering the price difference between the 2.0 roughly 300+K can some one enlighten me on this, also Is our local Subaru dealer planning to bring in the 2.0L diesel in the furture if yes when? Is it in the next 6 months or is it worth waiting? Is Subaru has a good track record on diesel boxer engine already? I am afraid we might be there test market. Hope to hear some inputs. Thanks in advance

for 300k more you get
-leather seats
-power memory seats
-auto folding side mirrors
-rear spoiler
-better wheels and tires
-better brakes
-better suspension
-a very powerful engine
you'll be spending a lot more than 300k just to get all those in the 2.0, also no matter what you do to the engine of the 2.0 it will never be as fast as the 2.5xt.

about the diesel no word yet if we're gonna get it, i doubt it is any time soon though. it's been out in europe and australia for a while now and from what i've read so far they had 0 problems with it. but if i'm going to buy an fxt i'd rather get the gas version since the potential of the engine and the mods readily available are just limitless.

Is this new in 2011???

Hindi ba pareho lang yung last two sa Forester X?

Read sir fxt's post previously. Go for the 2.5 FXT. Don't wait for the diesel as it would be too costly na.

trust me, once you drive the FXT you'll want to replace your fortuner asap. lalo na since your young and binata pa. the FXT will out run and out handle a lot of cars on the road, even the genesis coupe and wrx will have a hard time out running and out handling the FXT, just imagine what it would do against civics and lancers. and you get the space and comfort of a cuv while having all that performance.

Thanks ForesterX, well said, I am now 80 % decided to buy the the 2.5 variant, btw, do you think the next 2012 model will just have some face lift?, if by chance you have some leak source. I don't think they will change the flatform will they?

i know, that's why i'm not ready to test drive a unit yet, for i know in myself na magugustuhan ko that will cause a debate with my mom... hahaha... also saw the promo LausGroup is giving on the Forester... 250k downpayment and it's really tempting... kaso patay ako sa installment for sure, although i haven't inquired with an SA yet...

also talked with my mom about it, and said we still need a 7-seater SUV, this time it has to be a diesel na... she's aware that the new Fortuner is coming out and she's interested... she will be using the money from my current Fortuner when disposed as downpayment, so mapo-pospone ang pag-purchase ng Forester if ever makapag decide ako... but i'm not disappointed anyway since ako rin naman gagamit... hehehe... will just wait for a few more years na lang...

thanks po!
