I have tested the XT but not the base model. Somehow I don't feel the kick though acceleration is pretty good. maybe it is because of CVT as I did not feel any gear change. Heard the facelift will have subtle gear change feel incorporated. Anyone knows?

Other changes would be better sound insulation and DRL/LED head and rear lights.

Any advice on is it worth to top up 10k just for XT over base? I have not tried the base model as I say this.

-it depends whether the 10k different means anything to you over 5-10 years..
-whether the higher FC of maybe 2-3km/litre means a lot to you.
-whether you dont care if there is electric tailgate.
-whether better pick up is ok for you.
If yes is at least 2 of 4.. the the 2L turbo is the choice. It's agonising when one chooses non turbo when they may have preferred the turbo, and there is a turbo choice.

Would you know if the insurance premium is very different between XT and base? I was told XT is about 1.4k for me.

To me XT wins cos of practicality.
And servicing cost is much lower than BMW's.
But sometimes it's hard to see beyond the badge. :P
ya but the overall cost (exclude servicing) of the XT is actually higher than the beemer due to the higher insurance and FC

Road tax is same.
FC BM is better.
Insurance I suppose XT is more.
According to SGCM, depn is higher for BM at 12600 compared to 10500 of XT.
�
Was told servicing at Performance is killer(my boss drives a 5 series) and step in means at least 500-600 for normal servicing.
�
But end of the day, whatever you fancy you can justify it. So go with your heart.
hopefully the beemer offers 5 years servicing , the subee only offers 1st 3 servicing free�

beemer road tax actually higher than subee ...beemer $1384 , 2.0 xt $1201�

Maybe should consider a CatA car that's around 80-90k instead if you are concern with service cost, FC, insurance.. confirmed all cheaper
My gut feel is pricing will be revised upwards next week.

Isn't a seamless gear change better than one that jerks ? Maybe it is the CVT that masks the power of the car but what matters is the car being able to accelerate fast and smoothly without any feel of gears changing.
�
The main improvements to look out for in the facelifted XT are how effective are the measures taken to reduce noise and the ride quality (based an improved suspension set up). If the improvements in these 2 areas are obvious , then the XT would become an even more attractive proposition. But if they induce some artificial feel of gear change , then for me it will be a put off.
Pro over Vezel:
AD, AWD, Better handling, Less body roll, Better sound insulation, Cat B,More power�A Lot More Power
Con over Vezel:
Drinks alot more petrol, sticky AD policy on after market parts (if you are into pimping your ride), higher road tax, high insurance
�
Change for you.
There is no comparison in term of power.
From the Japanese maker, only the Lexus NX200 turbo are similar. While from the conti brand, there are Volvo XC60, Audi Q5 etc..... But all this will cause at least $100k more.

I kept reading that the FC of Forester is bad. How bad is bad? If a car is rated to achieve 20km/l, can it achieve in real life? I am talking about average FC and not one time FC. As for my Forester, its rated to achieve 12.5km/l and I am getting this FC on average. Further more, please compare with equality. e.g. 2.0cc vs. 2.0cc, and not 1.5cc vs. 2.0cc.

There many driver out there, want to buy a 2.0L Turbo AWD SUV but want a FC of a 1.5L saloon. They should just buy the 1.5L saloon.
Like my college, bought a X3 and keep on heard him complain FC only 9km/L+
The most comfortable SUV is XC90.. some say GL class Merc

This is the funniest comparison I ever heard people asking, clearly you haven't even driven both.

The XT outclass the Vezel in every way from driving, power, features and comfort. But it's not for the faint heart due to the price and maintenance cost. It's not a fair comparison to begin with.

Yup. Seating in his car just felt so irritating because can felt he is controlling his right foot a lot.
I don't think he has even get the engine speed above 3000rpm. What a waste for his car.
You count the savings from purchasing a FORESTER XT , compared to getting a Volvo XC60. You will know FORESTER is a good buy.How bad is the maintenance costs bro? Thinking of going for FXT. Care to share your experience?
Japanese cars, no matter how expensive in maintenance costs, is still cheaper compared to Continental cars.

Nope. I would take fxt in a heartbeat.

I am torn because...

XT
1. more powerful, more torque
2. safer
3. more space (boot and rear passengers)

CX-5

Haven't had a chance to test drive the 2016 forester yet. so cannot quite compare comfort and road noise etc.

Absolutely not.Anyone torn between forester xt and mazda cx-5?
Cx5 more expensive, no electric tailgate, smaller interior and boot space , less power, maintenance same or more expensive.
Only thing cx5 has is better looks.
Sorry was not specific earlier. Different buyers look for different things. For me, I was looking for a bigger car that had more rear seat space (compared to my jazz).Can share why?

So Forester had the following that win me over:
- more rear seat space,
- more power
- cheaper
- better handling (awd, less body roll when cornering)
Have you test drive both cx-5 and the current fxt? The current fxt should already give u a good feel of what to expect. If the current fxt does not tip the scale now, the facelift will not too.

The Wish was $100,988 at BM yesterday, for a Japan made 7-seater people-mover, it seems a pretty good value at the current COE level. Running costs and insurance will be cheaper. And it is a Toyota.

the taxis that goes up n down Genting are mostly proton wiras. Don't think it's the car leh...Don't think that's any issue with the outback or forester non turbo..
Individual choice I guess. Everything on diesel turbo engine looks good haha.I would choose a CX-5 2.2 SkyActiv-D... if it wasn't many thousands more than the FXT
I just sat in my brother petrol 2.5 CX5 this 2 days.. I realised the interior is slightly smaller than the current 3 series.. smaller than what i had thought initially.
his istop is off always as he hates it.
Interior dash.. erm ok la, quite neat and piano black finish but nothing out of the ordinary.
Wheel arc is huge though.. housing the stock 225/55r19 wheel and the wheel actually looks not big and the wheel arc looks like able to take 21" rims with ease.
I guess the mazda designer has spent considerable thoughts into making the outlook attractive..but huge wheel arc will sacrifice on the interior space of the car. That's why CX5 has a slightlu larger exterior dimension than Forester but interior space wise it's like 3 series and 5 series difference in terms of space.
the taxis that goes up n down Genting are mostly proton wiras. Don't think it's the car leh...
Those taxis are manual gear and can easily chiong upslope. Just like the kancils. Tried a Focus 1.6 Auto many years ago and quite breathless going up the steep ascent just before the hotels.
But Forester and Outbacks have bigger and newer engines. Think should be fine.

Driving on this type of slop with auto gear, you must down shift to 3rd or 2nd gear manually for normal auto gear.
If car had manual over right or paddle shift, then better.
Some driver out there are so light foot that never let the rpm go above 3000rpm. And complaint no power.

Read on some review that the Paddle Shift is more a "gimmicky" thingy as on CVT engine, can't really feel the gear changes so rely a lot of the onboard electronics to ensure the appropriate gear ratios to suit the situation. The X-Mode does sound useful when descending Genting as less chance of over-steping on brakes and sounds like a form of auto engine braking.

Since the cvt has infinite steps, why is there a differentiation for XT? Since all are using the same gearbox. Feels faster for gear change?
Gear ratio should be programme different for the XT.
Because the engine that it is mated to 2.0 NA versus 2.0 turbocharged, has different characteristics in both horsepower and torque curves.Since the cvt has infinite steps, why is there a differentiation for XT? Since all are using the same gearbox. Feels faster for gear change?
i suppose the fxt cvt chain is better than non turbo due to its increased torque ... the cvt performance and acceleration sure got differenceSince the cvt has infinite steps, why is there a differentiation for XT? Since all are using the same gearbox. Feels faster for gear change?
You can see how good the CVT for the FXT when drive in paddle shift mode S#.

If you need the space, especially to accommodate your aged parents, go for the Wish.
If you choose the Forester, doubt your parents can squeeze in.

... one step further is Estima and Alphard liao What I do know about the Forester 2.0 is that its FC is on the high side, about 8.4km per litre for city driving.
I read thru the forum and came across numbers of FC feedback. Any bro can share with me average FC for NA vs XT? Just wonder if the FC difference is really significant?

It varies according to your driving habits and route.I read thru the forum and came across numbers of FC feedback. Any bro can share with me average FC for NA vs XT? Just wonder if the FC difference is really significant?
XT consumes more petrol for sure, averages 2km/L more.
But the purchase cost is so much lower than cars with similar power, so the lower purchase price makes up for the higher fuel consumption. Plus the Forester is made in Japan.
Fuel consumption for a boxer engine, AWD will drink more without doubt.
