Thanks.

Powerless ako sa asawa ko ngayon. Kakapanganak lang eh

By the way, to those that are considering a Subaru, now is a good time to buy. The dealer gave me 30k in accessories as a freebie. This is excluding the tint, floor mats and LTO registration.

Too bad I leave for India on Monday. Was looking forward to spending at least a week driving around in my new baby before I go.

Paolo, I'll be in the office tomorrow afternoon. Joyride?

kakainggit naman yan! pasakay, sarap ng bagong oto....amoy baka pa, at subaru pa.
congrats.

Went to the dealer this afternoon and test drove both the 2.5XT and the 2.0X. Damn i was not prepared for the power of the XT, i had a very heavy foot from driving my F150 so when I step on the gas of the XT I had a head whiplash. Took it to Corinthian at 120kph, then took the curves out at 90kph(tires crying), then back to EDSA showroom all smiles. After 10mins took the 2.0X out, did not expect anything coz I was still dazed by the whole XT (not ST) experience.

To all that's asking how good/bad it is.... go to the showroom and test it. My question on why the XT is 400k higher have been answered. I just hope though that in about 5-years down the road Pinoys will appreciate the Subaru driving experience and have high regards for it (ergo decent resale value). But really, why dispose a good partner (i guess i've convinced myself).

i know that feeling!
for the second time, i had too(WRX) last saturday here in shenzhen.
mabait naman kasi mga SA dito kaya umulit ako, kinukulit din kasi ako nung friend at sis ko at gusto din niya maexperience ride ng WRX. sarap talaga ng rev niya lalo bet 4-6k rpm shifting pattern ko. ingay ng makina.
natuwa siya(friend ko) nung nakuha ko from 0-100kph in 5.6sec.

pagsakay ko ng Civic uli, parang ambigat sa paa at parang.
ambagal .

I know what you mean. Ever since I got my Forester, my Mazda3HB has had ZERO road time. I've noticed that I've been driving more as well. I've racked up 1,150+kms on the Forester in only three weeks.
