Subaru Forester

[foresterx]

Is this new in 2011???


-power memory seats
-better brakes
-better suspension

Hindi ba pareho lang yung last two sa Forester X?

nope, fxt always had power seats while the 2.0 never had it. regarding brakes and suspension naman, fxt is using the same platform as wrx while 2.0 naman is the same with impreza 2.0r.

Hindi ko alam yan. Nice to know.

well not exactly the same but almost 70% the same. not exactly sure what the differences are but i think the wrx sway bars are bigger compared to fxt and some other stuff.

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!!

well here's the downsides of the fxt compared to a fortuner.
-fc
-5 seats
-ground clearance (if you live in the city i don't see why this would be an issue)
-maintenance is a bit more expensive
-parts are more expensive
-1 casa only in metro manila (but the service of MI is just worlds apart compared to other casa's in the philippines)

advantage naman ng fxt over fortuner:
-better ride
-power
-handling
-modifications are limitless
-better build quality
-more legroom
-more features
-safety
-you won't see one every where
-and of course the subaru community is very friendly, once you drive one you'll see other subaru owners honking or waving at you all the time.

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

My speed limite ba FXT? kung meron and tanggalin yan ilang kaya possible safe top speed ina straight line that is.

[looks2008]

yes, there is. 200 ang limit niya. my guess is less than 240? kung kaya paabutin dun that is.

My speed limite ba FXT? kung meron and tanggalin yan ilang kaya possible safe top speed ina straight line that is.

speed limited to 220kph, the only possible way to remove the speed limiter is to tune the ecu. there's a guy in scp who had a unichip installed on his fxt and his top speed was around 280kph but he also has full exhaust, cai installed and coilovers installed. theoretically if all stock the fxt could do 240kph with out the speed limiter but an ecu tune will immediately add around 20-30whp on an fxt if tuned properly. so there's no way to guarantee how fast the fxt can go stock with out speed limiter.

my 2.0 is limited to 190kph but i'm only at 3rd gear around 5k rpm, with out speed limiter i think it can do 210kph but you'll need i long road to be able to achieve that.

[QUOTE=foresterx;1756012]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 engi

there is NO power memory seats. but power adjustable driver's seat only

upto 200kph lang limiter nung fxt. kakatanggal lang ni papa cliff kahapon sa akin and 240 ang max sa ODO niya so i guess it's safe to say na less than 240. pero as i said, hirap paabutin dun lalo na kung stock at may mga cars sa highway.

sometimes nababagalan ako pag nag aadjust ako ng power seats. lalo na pag ihihiga ko and ibabalik na sa seating position.
