    Looking at such low figures, confirmed Cat B COE will never go above $50K for the next few months.

    Cost of XT to Motor Image is $50K (without COE). You do your sums.

    According to my SE, he said that the DRL is built in with the C light for the FL version.

    If the DRL is integrated with the fog light, that means the DRL is useless.

    LTA does not approve to switch on the fog light during driving.

    The Subaru red tone is not appealing. Intitally, I thought is like the Mazda or Altis metallic red, but it is not.

    Nice. I wasn't sure whether the 2016 facelift iL version has the leather & stiches, because I saw that the older iL version does not have it. Also the brochure only mentions 2.0i and 2.0i Premium, but does not talk about 2.0iL.

    I am hoping we can at least get the improve CVT, suspension tune, Torque Victoring and improve NVH etc....

    For this price diff, I will not mind getting the camera thru' MI. And I believe MI would provide the warranty.

    For the camera, you can also chose to get the front only at $475. Front camera is needed to avoid dispute but I am not sure how useful is the rear camera.

    Is it worthwhile to pay 10k more for XT turbo? The facelift standard model has sunroof.
    Only other differences are turbo engine, 7 vs 6.2 inch display, average HK speakers, 18 vs 17 inch wheels....
    The turbo costs 3k to add as option in US.

    If you use other countries as yardstick for car prices, then nothing is worth it in Singapore.

    To me 10k for the turbo alone is enough to justify the premium. The rest are icing on the cake.

    Personally i find it hard to figure why anyone will consider forester for it's NA...many other better designed, fitted and equipped options in the market around that price range.
    Some excuses I read are that why need turbo when singapore is so congested etc. I am a safe and slow driver, I don't need a turbo.

    If you said the above, then obviously you just need a tin can in 4 wheels with 800cc engine to bring you from A to B. AND.... Being slow and do not automatically mean you are safe.

    Go get the NA version is the 10k is a concern.

    Then drool when you are driving the NA and see the turbo on the road.

    So better select another NA made from another brand.

    There's a saying.. when similar model has turbo.. better choose it.. I did the same of choosing a NA for my previous car and has always been looking out at the turbo version (although mine is not much choice bec getting used so right color turbo don't come by everyday)..

    Pls share with me on the "many other better designed, fitted and equipped options" out there in the market, having the same or lesser yearly depre than the forester NA, without�considering parallel imported�cars such as Vezel.

    Choosing NA over XT is a 11k savings, which for�some, such savings can be put to better use.� Having a turbo is a good to have, not a must have.�

    Sadly, seems like this XT drivers here are already trying to differentiate themselves from the NA drivers [:|]

    Pre FL FNA uses dark plastic on the side panels just above the wheels? FL same?

    I think if one doesnt bother abt turbo, then just see if u wana pay 11k for aesthetics.

    Insurance also slightly cheaper for NA

    Just buy what u need. Having a turbo which seems to be a more worthwhile option is not for everyone. If have spare cash every add on is good esp in this case.
    11k can do many other things eg trip to Switzerland. Make the decision and no need to turn back later.

    Pls share with me on the "many other better designed, fitted and equipped options" out there in the market, having the same or lesser yearly depre than the forester NA, without�considering parallel imported�cars such as Vezel.

    Choosing NA over XT is a 11k savings, which for�some, such savings can be put to better use.� Having a turbo is a good to have, not a must have.�

    Sadly, seems like this XT drivers here are already trying to differentiate themselves from the NA drivers [:|]

    I did not mention about other similar or cheaper options in terms of depreciation. I am talking about other selections in the market for 1) design and �2) spec and equipment options. Does it have an updated design? Does it have all round view cameras? auto tail gate with auto senser and memory function? Full panoramic sunroof? more fuel efficient drivetrain? part time to full time AWD option? blind spot detection and warning? Auto park? and the list goes on...

    The question poster ask if it is worth it. I am saying it is. If you do not agree, I do not really care how you spend your 11k.

    Lastly, my opinion is based on my previous ownership of BL9 LGT. I do not drive the XT but I have been to the showroom, did my fair share of research. So....do not drag the XT drivers here through the mud based on a non XT owner opinion.

    Is like that one, the qashqai thread also the same though its vice versa.

    I'm someone who will definitly top up 10k to get the turbo, but I know of people who know nuts about car and dont give a crap how fast their car can go, these are the people that will choose the NA. Because the speed is not their concern, they just need something that moves but please dont compare to a chery qq la. If you are not a gourmet and dont know how to appreciate good food doesnt mean you must eat white rice without any topping everyday.

    Also, alot of these people I mentioned thinks turbo is a very intimidating thing that they cant handle.

    Next new Civic model will also be turbo. Now is whether the local AD will bring in the new engine or not. I believe they will again bring in an old engine with power below 130bhp to keep in CAT A.

    Actually turbo or NA is individual preference. What works for some may not work for others.

    I started with NA cars and moved to turbo by chance as the model I wanted only came in turbo. After that I figured I enjoy driving a turbo car more. Nothing against NA.

    Let's just enjoy our Forester as it is and not compare.

    Thanks.

    Yup. Many manufacturers are going the force induction route to meet Euro emission requirements and Honda is no exxeption. Hybrid is the other alternative.

    For Singapore, I think Kah Motors may bring in the turbo edition of Civic as well as the NA version.

    Although turbos are not as intimidating now as they were compared to the 90s sportcars, its the current classification for them that is not changed.

    Most think insurance and maintenance servicing cost will be higher, FC higher and turbo cars tend to be more problematic than NA since more components are involved. Not to mention the speedracer reckless image.


    Which....still has some truth to it even till now.

    You said many other better cars in the price range of NA. So i would equate that the yearly depre aint it?

    Anyway not here to argue over why, if you want to buy forester, must only buy turbo, since most of the cars on the road now using turbo.

    Its all abt your needs vs your wants. If you have 11k xtra, go for XT. But if u love the design of the forester,want to keep your depre low and concern abt FC, go for NA. That should be the guiding principle

    a car.. Always a personal preference moderated by Budget and the stage of a person's life.

    To say whether $11k is worth or not is no different from saying is it worth it or not to own a car.

    Woo liao...

    Given that they just came out with a major facelift (Oct '15 in jp), i reckon there should at least 2 more years to next model change.

    I bought NA b'cos:

    1) 11k cheaper

    2) Better FC

    3) Softer suspension (comfort)

    From the above, should be able to tell what is my criteria in choosing NA over FXT.�

    Till today, I didn't regret my selection and I don't feel like an "idiot" not choosing the FXT.�

    I bought what i needs and not what I want.

    Actual car price is 11k difference between NA and Forester after all the disc. At the very least, 10k, based on the COE package chosen. Based on yearly depre ard 900bucks diff.

    But NA you get extra freebies, that are worth quite a bit :a-good:�(im not talking abt cheap freebies such as car mat or window visor)
