mycarforum: 2015 Forester 2.0 part 19

Went Test drove FXT this morning. Like the drive and pretty confirm to buy this. However, current model left one bronze color and no more coming in. New FL still pending LTA approval. Saw the FL NA, the lights looks good. Some upgrade on interior panels to make it look more premium.

I went down earlier this evening as well. Had a look at the behind curtains FL NA, minimal difference from the current version. Only difference is the rims, headlight, front grille and gear knob area. XV totally disappear from the showroom. SE mentioned XV should be launch next week at motorshow but no confirmation on forester launch.

The headlights itself looks so much better. But to change the current model headlight to�this�aftermarket version looks just as good. In SG, HID or LED is still overkill and whichever is also good enough for Malaysia too.

�

Changes to the engine and transmission and suspension should be included.

No way there will be eyesight function in SG. �

Is there a new facelift for XV? Its already been selling for a while, Why launch at Motor Show?

I'm more curious about the engine and transmission changes if any will be carried over from JDM to our SG model.

The rest are mostly cosmetic but it does look a bit nicer.

That's why I'm waiting and waiting.

�

Yes, there is a new facelift. Same as forester stuff mainly cosmetic like LED headlight, instrument panel and the updated steering wheel. �No mechanical changes like forester though.

Any kind bros can take some pics of the FLversion and post here? Hee..

Yes. I think there is a new FL for XV as well. The current version is already remove from Leng Kee showroom. Thailand launch new XV already. And SE mentioned SG should be launching theirs next weekend.

http://www.9tro.com/...thailand-launch

Now my options remains as XV or Forester. Still have time to wait and monitor COE which i believe would rise for next 2 bids and come down mid year.

Any kind bros can take some pics of the FLversion and post here? Hee..

This site does pretty well explain the new things and also there are some photos.

reading through the specs... not many of the Safety Aids will reach our shoes IMO.

�

�

�
Subaru�s EyeSight suite and include Active Lane Keep, Pre-Collision Braking Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear-Cross-Traffic Alert.�

�

Probably only Blind-Spot detection.... seeing how MI likes to keep the OMV low.

Bks has been around for ages. Pro subaru wkshop. Not sure of the charges now but should be 700-800 plus for timing belt change

Should be more close to 1k+ instead when you have all the other consumables change. Goto Woodlands one if you unfortable about AMK review. Boss is Ah Keong.

Comparing current and previous px list FXT price remains while NA drops $2k. Difference between the two models is $11k now.

Maybe clearing the remaining NA for the FL to come in soon?

Collecting car soon, is there a group for Subaru Forester that I can join?

Hi , any one can advise if the black edition package for XT worth the 5 k? what exactly is in the package?�

Edited by 3366, 08 January 2016 - 05:36 PM.

Not worth 5K imho. Just additional accessories.

�what does it come with ? anyone happen to own one or have photos of the black edition??�

Thank you� decided on the XT , �really excited hopefully new facelift come out asap.:)

Thank you� decided on the XT , really excited hopefully new facelift come out asap.:)

What I can remember:
Black front grille
STI Front bumper lip
STI rear bumper lip
STI gear knob
Special leather seat
Black/red floor mat
Boot door base plate
Carbon fibre plate styling interior
Not sure if have STI struct bar or not (HK black edition have).

Remembered the black edition was 8k more initially. It then dropped to the 5k premium now. I would gather that the response is still poor. Perhaps at a 3k premium they would move more units.

They should, if they need to clear. 2-3k sounds more reasonable.

thanks for the reply and advice :)

You can order all or most of those cosmetic parts on japanparts.com or US sites selling subaru OEM stuff and it would be cheaper.Most are easy to install DIY or just get a workshop to install.

Check the tyre pressure.� They usually way over-pressure for new car.

�

If you get it back down to the recommended pressure (as in the manual or the door pillar sticker), you will enjoy the ride even more (even more comfortable suspension and better driving control).

Congratulation! Black edition is cool. I'm waiting for my XT to be delivered before CNY can drive home to Malaysia in new car

Want to get a XT but no stock now. Need to wait till end of Feb or Mar for the facelift to come in. :/

i must be the few lucky ones among bros here.

i see, i like, i buy.

of course. she contribute some sure want to have some say

In the ideal world, every car should have
1000bhp
1000Nm torque from 1000 rpm - 9000 rpm
As quiet as a Lexus,
As beautiful as (Fill the design of the car you like)
FC more 23km/l
Spacious
Good Handling
Large boot
etc, etc

But it will probably cost $99,999,999. Design is always about compromises. They start with a price bracket and then decide what are the important elements a car should have, then they include these elements with design.

If you are looking at forester XT, it is a little tiny weeny bit silly to be worried about FC and noise. That is not what Forester XT is about.

Power and Good FC are sworn enemies. They will never be seen at the same place.

There are such car, just that it's not available to us yet. Tesla

Just heard from SE. Collect on friday.... Yay.!

Does the new Forester come in sti version?

Yes....i realised that too...kinda hard ride now...will check...thanks..

At the same time..trying to get used to the stare for this Black edition...lol

so if wanna PI, most likely have to undergo LTA approval n inspection?

there's only like limited 300units if I remember correctly, you can't win from the JDM market unless you have really really deep pockets...

but if that's the case, probably just get a Macan or GLC...

Since you got black edition, might as well complete the car with a WRX STI steering wheel that will fit the XT forester non- facelift version.

Mainly, for JDM and STI its only japanparts.com. For non-STI subaru stuff, its subaruonlineparts.com or www.subarupartsforyou.com.

Can book already. I was offered 124800 by SE with 3 free servicing, in car monitor, solar film. And very little details about new FL version. Very standard package hence asking around here.

I just check with my SE and he mention still waiting for LTA approval.

Since I expect COE to drop further after CNY, I must well wait.

Hmmm....different standards from different SE. Anyway, i expect the drop as well after clearing the motorshow orders. Time is still on my side. 11 more months before scrap.

Is it for FL NA or XT? If NA then its like $9k premium over current NA listed px? If XT then same as listed.

my guess is its the NA price. there should normally be a premium for newer models

Should be for xt version. In other countries, it's only few hundred more but with eyesight as well. If it's NA at 9k premium, no way it will sell. Might as well buy outback.

comes with� eyesight? really?

comes with eyesight? really?

Probably not. We in Singapore, not other countries. :p

I was told that the facelift FXT OMV will still be below $20k.
So I don't expect the price to go too big different at the same for level.

After getting the my Black Edition XT, last Wednesday evening and topping up to full tank the same day. I am left with a single bar this Tuesday evening. Managed 455km at 10l per 100km average consumption. So top up another 50l. Just wondering most probably that is the norm?

If it's NA I can't see any reason not getting the Harrier at 10k higher in price but also 15k higher in omv..

Yup, no reason not to get a harrier if that fit your needs. I look at XT for subaru's 4WD off road capability and technology cos i need to drive up to rural areas in MY without proper roads.

Combined with the right size, best handling and power at this price, i dun have much options. Also, being a subaru its less likely to get stolen in MY. Top ten list of cars that got stolen are all the proton models followed by Toyota and Honda (Reported in Media). Harrier top their fav 'to steal suv' list. (Hearsay by fellow Msians)

�

I never really went deep into understanding so don't quote me on this. i sort of learned that, higher OMV will means you are actually incurring interest on the loan to pay for the higher OMV because selling price will be higher for a higher OMV car. And, unless u looking to scrap the car after 10 years, it is interest paid for nothing. If you sell your car after 3 years, it would mean you paid 3 years of interest on that extra $10,000 price. The resale value of your car is largely determined by the future COE price and the price of the brand new same model when you sell, not base on the time when you bought. So in a way, OMV matter more if you want to use the car for 10 years, but not so much if you looking to sell within few years.

Anyone can recommend me a Subaru SE?

I don't deny at all that getting Harrier costs you more than Frosty NA, but the exact one important factor missing from your analysis is that you would be driving a better car at marginally higher price. Better trim, more spacious, less thirsty.

Forester 2016 new face-lift video. Nice little changes in head and tail lights.

Eh..10-15k more is comparing Forester XT to Harrier.. if it's FNA, it's easily 20-25k more.

I agree with less thirty aspect because it's a front wheel drive vs AWD.

Trim wise depends individually.. before buying the forester, I was told the interior of the Harrier is so good.. I went to view the basic without sun roof and the premium with sun roof and not impressed at the aspect of trim, it's not bad but I wouldn't buy the Harrier because of its interior (you know some cars the interior is so good can overlook other factors).. maybe because considered many factors in, and also viewed quite a number of other SUV.

Space wise, both fotester and Harrier are similar actually.

Side track also, got a friend who got harrier and drove to KL last week. Told me at constant depressing of the accelerator, when the Harrier hit 130km/hr, lost the torque and speed came down to 120-110.. no high end torque.. he really look disappointed. But of course city driving absolutely no issue and pleasant to drive the Harrier.

For Forester XT.. at 160 still accelerating without fully depressing pedal.

I was quoting when someone mentioned FL NA is going to cost $125k. At $110k it's a hell of an SUV, not so when it becomes 15k more ex.

No la.. NA version I think it's around 113k. It's like 25-30k cheaper than the lowest specs Harrier while forester NA specs is not shaddy at all, big sun roof, electric seat etc..

Relative to the compact crossovers like Vezel and Qashqai, the NA Forester $113,800 is now $7k-$12k more compared to a gap of only $3k-$8k due to CAT A COE drop of $9k.�

�

MI will be foolish (but likely) to launch the MY2016 Forester too much of a price premium at the Motorshow considering that the 7-seater SUVs like Outlander and X-Trail is now $124k-$130k. The FXT is good value if it stays at $124,800 but still has only 5 seats at the end of the day.

�

Heard that the headlights and tailights will both be LEDs with DRL in the fog light housing but otherwise no major equipment changes. The $2k-$3k trading margin probably still applies for those considering the Forester.

Torn between getting the Forester or the more practical Wish/Outlander now although the new Touran looks interesting too...if only the Exiga is available in SG!� [crazy]

Forester XT should have no problem to achieve such high speed .

If you need a genuine 7 seater that can accommodate 7 adults, at your kind of budget, it's got to be the Mazda 5.

The 7 seaters you are looking at, the last row seat fits children best. Would be a squeeze for adults.

If you need 7 seater most of the time.. wish is needed, Outlander a little tight on row3, but still can. But if really seldom utilise full vehicle for 7 pax on daily basis.. reconsider Outlander. . The FC think quite fierce..

VW Torran?? 1.4T? Reconsider that man..

Forester XT should have no problem to achieve such high speed .

Highest I went was 200km/hr.. because got cars in front on NSHW so slowed back to 130. But above 200 to around 210-220 should be ok

defective piston rings caused them to burn extra oil, and that Subaru knew of the problem.

affected FB engines are the 2.5-liter engines in the 2011-2014 Forester, 2013 Legacy and 2013 Outback and the 2.0-liter engines in the 2012-2013 Impreza and 2013 XV Crosstrek.

These engines arent used in the Singapore Forester or XV so not an issue for local owners. Might be relevant to Outback or Legacy drivers though...

The forester here are not affected. There is no 2.5. For xv there is only the small number of 2.0 which MI Sold. Not sure of the production year that MI Brought in

Does anyone know if the new forester is displayed at the Singapore motor show? Cant get any info searching on the web...

The new XT is not because it's not approved by LTA.

I can't remember if the NA was there cos I didn't go look for it.

But the pricelist remains the same and the old photos are used. My SE told me LTA don't allow them to show or bring new FL to Motorshow without approval.

spoke to one of the SEs at the motorshow that the FL XT will have the following

- new rims design

- memory seats

- headlights/taillights changes

- bi-xenon adaptive headlamps

- slightly bigger centre console screen

�

no eyesight and instrument cluster still the same as current outgoing model

$5K extra for that? Sales talk 101. Just like when they launch the current XV variant. $8k premium.. Within 2 mths price drop to previous variant despite increase in COE. Just wait for a few months..

Latest news from my SE is price remains 124,800. They are allowed to take bookings now. I'm still thinking about it.. As my ride expires only in 01/2019 and it's more of an itchy backside now rather than real need to change..

Am waiting for COE to go down.hee Hee. Anyway MI standard is $3K off the list price. And another $1k for non guaranteed.

My sensing they will bring it down by $3K the next round.

You might be correct.

Cat B Dropped $5K today to all time low of S$50 K.

List price may drop $3K to $110K. Minus $3K off list price + $1K off for non guaranteed COE = $106K.

Forester, here I come!

Think can wait till March. Suspect COE Cat b may go down by another $7-8K. N MI may also throw in service n Maintenace pack

Even at $110 K, plus the higher OMV, makes more sense to get a Japan made Forester than a Thairolla Altis.

Wow, is that insider news? Service and maintenance package sounds delicious.

They got in a big container of stock. If you look at Cat B bid vs available COE this round you will know why. Demand is weak and actually will be lesser than what will be available in Feb.

Think lots of ppl (Cat B types) could be holding back buying new cars or are going for Cat A.

MI may want to offer ppl sweeteners to come in and help them move their Cat B cars

Where is this big container manz? Anyway i am one of the guys waiting for sweetener and most importantly COE to drop. Most likely will buy in June..but after the coe results yesterday, seems like end year will be cheaper.

I am just another cheapo who wants to wait for low low coe ...

Their sweetener normally last for 3 months or so. Won't happen in Dec. They want to move their new shipment fast.

Heard MI sold over 100 plus Foresters during MotorShow. If this is indeed true, then the big shipment of cars would have been sold before it arrives. Unless there are more cars already ordered by M1 and coming in soon.

�

Once upon a time, the Forester was a relatively rare sight on the roads. But now everywhere you look; from car parks to roads, they are everywhere. MI have hit a sweet spot with the perceived "great value for price"

mI not allowed to take order by LTA coz still not tested. Think XT testing now. Maybe they were clearing existing stock.

Buyers and ADs is playing a cat n mouse game these next few months. All depends on perceptions. AD will send out messages to "coerce" buyers that while COE will go up bcos everybody will rush in. Still think it will be heading south for this year. Those who can wait wait. Those who can't.. Just pray

mI not allowed to take order by LTA coz still not tested. Think XT testing now. Maybe they were clearing existing stock.

Got such rule? Then how does super rich preorder their limited edition suoercars? Or they have super rules....

Not true, got a fren who book a new model car that haven't approved by LTA. Wait for a 2 mths finally approved and delivered the car. From c&c. They say if not approved will refund. Different dealer work differently. Not a rule by lta.

Forester OMW is below 20k, so can take more loan(please correct me if I'm wrong)

I never ask best price now.

My target price will require COE to drop 10k or so. I'm not sure if i'm unrealistic but I can wait.

Just pray there is no miraculous change in the economic and stock market sentiments for the next 3-4 months and your wish could be granted - maybe even a larger than 10k decline. Maybe 20k?

I am looking at Cat B with great interest because it seems like demand is not exactly strong to hold up at 50k level.

Sentiments for 2016 is really not that good as discussed during my company's recent business review.

�

One main reason I'm waiting is because of the incoming COE supply wave. I do not wish to go in at the earliest part of the wave as that probably means I will be caught in 10 years time in the same situation when it is time to replace my car. I do not expect to get the lowest COE but I do hope to be somewhere in the middle.

�

I really like the Forester XT and I will definitely get it. Question is when haha.

i heard subaru can pay a bit to upgrade the window films? is it true? anyone know the price?

Not worth at all. Opt out of solar film and refund $50 and do outside. The free sarasin film cannot make it all all
