mycarforum: 2015 Forester 2.0 part 27

Think they put those old school Color plastic paper we used to wrap coconut candies or use in art and craft.

�

cellophane paper...I still remember my Art and craft days... [:p]

Update: sent written feedback and it has been settled!

Can share more details? So that we also can be educated

Edited by BenTong, 07 March 2016 - 06:19 PM.

Used the feedback form on the website to submit. A customer service exec contacted me. Then the matter gets forwarded to the relevant manager and it gets settled.

For those who are on the free solar film, a cheaper upgrade will be installing those custom (Groovy brand) sunshades that fit perfectly.

�

Costs $160-180 for the 6 side windows. Cuts out most of the heat and they are removable.�

�

I also got 3M type car mats for $55, no smell, quite well made and fits well.

�

Both were purchased from carousell sellers: perfectshadesg and rosesbed if anyone interested.

�

Also tried self-applying glass coating but turned out far-from-perfect because I couldn't keep out the dust on the windy night. Ah well it's only a forester and its just usd50 for their "ultra" grade. I advise you to go to the professionals if you are particular. Otherwise you can try googling "Nina Enomoto TOP RUN CO., LTD." and ask for their sample

Applying your own solar film..... No easy task. Put on a hand phone protector also got dust, dun talk about something so big.

Remember to remind your SE again before you pay the balance of your downpayment settlement....there was a bro who opted out for the tint, & when he collected his ride, the tint already up.... [:|]

I opted out for solar film also. I tot I was the only one� [laugh]

�

For me, my SE told me to remind him again before car registration.

Sounds like solar film and rest of the freebies are standard issue since the cost to MI is minimum.

MI then band these as "freebies" for SEs to "sweeten the deal" so that buyers feel that they are so "smart" to squeeze it out of the SEs. Notice all those who opted out has to remind SEs not to install closer to delivery date? That is because the solar film is installed by default!

�

Of course how the SEs make use of this advantage differs amongst them.

�

Some no nonsense one will just tell you he will include all the freebies with 3K discount on first and only offer.

�

Some will wayang,... give you 1K discount first then later say 2K...and after you haggle somemore he will tell you ok lar, you drive a hard bargain, he will give you 2.5K discount and throw in all the freebies for his final offer.

Hi bros, sister here... Keen on Forester due to look & size.... Only concern is FC. Tried searching through the thread, didn't really see much discussion on the actual road FC. Care to share pls? My current Mit EX is about 11-12. Thanks :)

Don't know list price but :

No la. They have $4k D parameter. Depends what you want they give you options. So far from different feedback from different ppl who booked their options as follow:

(1) $2k D 6B G COE
(2) $1K D 8BNG + 5yo free servicing
(3) $3k D 8BNG + 2 yr FS
(4) $3K D 6B NG
(5) $4K D 8B NG

All within $4k range.

Among 2, 3 and 5. Which one more hua suan?

You suka which you choose la

You suka which you choose la

Is the�2 yr FS worth 1k?

MIT EX 1.5?

You will get around 8 to 9 on the FXT.

I heard Fi premium can achieve about 12. Anyone can verify?

Isnt turbo added to achieve better FC as some claimed?

Think so. Hope so. You can check their pricing on the service package.

FC are all depends on individual driver.

Different driver had different driving pattern, some more heavy foot, daily route �more jammed. FC will be worst.

Others maybe light foot, but daily route also jammed. FC different again.

Another driver may be always super light foot, with light traffic route......

So at the end, still depends on how you drive..

Any Bros here kena kacau by LTA while driving wifh these magnetic clip on shades. Especially with the rear windshield shades up too..

LTA regulations on sunshades.

The following requirements must be made when installing sunshades:

(a) No part of the sunshades shall be AFFIXED(?) :

- more than 6 inches from the TOP edge of the front windscreen
- more than 4 inches from the TOP edge of the rear windscreen and side windows.

�

If you're looking at vehicle with the same look and size, i guess the FC is quite competitive. Many folks who choose FXT are conscious that there's certainly a trade-off between power and FC.

�

Sharing the FC on my XT so that you have some idea. Mileage about 10k km, 60%highway 40%road.

�

Best FC: 11km/l

Worst FC: 8.5km/l

Average: 9.55km/l

�

From what i hear, the NA version has got much better FC. 11-12 is definitely attainable.

Cheers and join us soon!� [laugh]

Both sides and rear shades were up? or you took out during inspection?

Yes it is - but not how you expect it. The point of reference you're thinking is wrong.

You should be looking at an equivalent NA car and its fuel consumption to produce those torque figures, and a smaller-capacity turbocharged car can achieve that same performance on less fuel.

Both sides and rear shades were up? or you took out during inspection?

�

front 2 sides and rear 2 sides. my car already have the electronic controlled retractable rear centre shade.

�

Did not take out.

�

Still remember the inspector automatically took out my rear one partially to do the VLT test on the glass and he did not replace properly. Was cursing under my breath then ..� [laugh]

I would like to know last time those who drove Subaru ones are the maintenance of the car expensive as all of my colleague told me for their timing belt is very expensive to get and even their spare parts and among all the jap cars Subaru cost is the highest.. For me fc is not a concern but maintenance is a concern though.. Initially was considering this as 1 of my option since still got about 7 more months on my current car..

Dont anyhow listen to them la..

Timing belt max $1k..

I think Forestor on Timing Chain?

�

I think if you plan to keep it stock, the maintenance is very reasonable.. Just need to know which workshop to go to.. some are GST registered, some are not.

If I'm not wrong, Forester Timing Chain is suppose to last for as long as the car's life. No need to change.

I had the groovy sunshade for more than 4 years in my previous ride but don't have the rear windshield shade. So far so good and for sure it's much better than the solar film. Good to know that they have it for forester and maybe can try to organize group buy next time

i will define it as semi-permanent bond. like window tint.

Curtains and removable shades are not affixed since they can be removed or drawn at a moment notice.

Got a bro that kena. He had the magnetic shades all 4 sides. First time warning then kena stopped 4 mths later. Kena $100 saman. He appealed to LTA but to no avail. That's real strange coz I have been putting those foldable shades while driving and bo tai chi. That's why ask question..

Oh well, I can't verify for the other guy. My experience is as stated. So you have to tikum who to believe now.

My car has built-in sunshades on both rear passenger sides and rear windscreen.�

�

I never use them even though they are quite good. Just don't feel safe with reduced visibility.

You need to compare a non turbo engine with 240bhp (probably a 3.0l engine) vs a 240bhp turbo engine, then you all see the difference in fuel efficiency.

Anyway its a 2.0, idling alone will waste a lot compared to an idling 1.5 engine.

Not going to go all praises and paint you a beautiful picture, 8 to 9 is as realistic as it gets for standard traffic driving in sg. Maybe a close 10 if you leave at a traffic efficient area.

11 or 12 is attainable, but you have to ask yourself are you going to drive everyday to "attain" at 11 or 12? Or are you going to driving like a normal driver and enjoy the car?

Oh.. Because they told me the boxer engine use timing belt.. most of the other brands of car I am familiar with except Subaru as not many of my friends are driving ever since the old Rex.. As far as I know big turbo 'Jia Orr You' when turning old.. I suppose Subaru turbo also same right every 5k do 1 servicing?

At least now I know they run on timing chain already.. Haha..

Sry if i offended anyone, juz very curious when i saw many on the road nw. Toyoya Harrier not good? I knw its PI but it look better. Hehe

Think you come to wrong place to ask.

Forester no CEVS rebate, but instead there is a $5K CEVS surcharge. I booked the NA version in Feb. At that time the price difference between XV and NA was only $6K, so I didn't even look at the smaller XV. I also wanted a more retro & boxy looking SUV that is different from my dad's more modern looking Vezel.

Icic. See wrong. If rebate will see minus sign. Then surcharge already included in the price u bought? Then its a good deal for a bigger TURBO. Should toyota learn to put in turbo to altis but too bad, thai made will break into pieces. Funny talking abt my coming ride. Few years later then see hw. Maybe coe drop so low, i will wnt to try wrx for the boom boom engine sound. Super awesome

Yes, all car prices includes CEVS rebate/surcharge. Mine basic model only, no turbo. Hoping to get the COE later today..

Icic. Hope u get yr coe. Btw did u get the non or gaurantee coe. Feel abit cheated cos bm 3k a gaurantee 6 bid, so sotong to hear my SE say apr will get before u scrap yr car. Cos i also trade in my ride to
Offset 1.5k for that gaurantee. Last time 10yrs i just apply for non but got it in the 3 or 4 bid. Funny that i book earlier and my colleagues book his subaru at the same month and got his ride on the same month. My 2 months later and his coe os cheaper i think. Only BM 3k, rest of the market either 1 or 2 k. Almost forgot MI has 8 bid non gaurante thats 3k cheaper.

I was offered 6 bid guaranteed coe, 2K discount off list price. And I took it.

Anyways im trying to find more abt in car cam for park mode. Any of have good reviews of any brand thats good with heat resistance and no issue with battery drain. How abt wheels?

For those with good recommendation for rim and wheel trade in for good price. Can share? Help on another to save more and also experience. Thanks guys.

If XV suits your needs then get XV. I think not much difference in interior except for the exterior.

�

1.6L is very sufficient for Singapore Roads.. dont say.. Even NSH also no problem haha

Better check with MI on changing rims.. whatever u change in the car sure void warranty wan. Later change rims, they void your suspension warranty. Alot of BS wan la..

I told my OC who wasn't very keen at first after looking at the pic, but she was ok with the features. When she saw the 240BHP and Subaru logo, her sian half and say "not again!? I duwant another bumpy and noisy car that can only hear the exhaust sound instead of the radio!" I managed to coax her to join me in the testdrive with my little one.

�

�

That's the impression for most people for Subaru car. All thanks to the MI boss Ah Beng and those street racer.

Anyway, when one of my colleague heard I book a Forester. He start to comment Subaru cars engine are so rough, noisy, high FC etc......as usual all the hear said..... BTW he is driving a X3.

�

Another colleague who follow me for a test drive was so impress with XT.

This is my thought process when getting a new car:

- Within limit of my Budget
- More spacious than current car
- Just as powerful or more powerful than current car which is a 1.5 turbo.
- must be quieter and more comfy

I look at the Following cars:

1) Mazda 3 2.0, felt it's a status quo rather than improvement, esp the space and power. But loved the features. OC not keen and question whether it's wise to go back NA since I love my turbo so much.

2) Used Golf GTI, worked out the cost and depreciation and dropped the idea. The condition of the car is not too good for the asking price. Oc complained it as small as my current car, not an upgrade of space for her.

3) Ford Kuga and it set the standard for me in features. OC loved it. but the price and popularity stopped me. I hardly see Kugas on the road and that scares me.

added the follow wishlist:

- Big sunroof, OC's choice

- auto tailgate

3) Mazda CX5, very nice, but lack features and above budget. 2.5l NA disappointing. smaller interior and boot. Wife dun like the Mazda brand

4) VW Tiguan, packed with features and nice drive, OC love it. Price is way above Kuga. VW reputation scares me abit.

5) Qasqhai, ok features and nice looking, OC is ok but felt the power will not satisfy me. Lack of Sunroof puts her off.

I was stumped. My choice was the Kuga but I was not happy with the price. One night I just do a filtering in SGCARMART based on my criteria of budget, features and power and the FXT came into the list. At first I thought it's not very attactive then I look at the specs and features. There is no car with that power, that much features at that price! That is if you can swallow the looks.

Next day I called MI and the first thing I ask is "how much is the insurance" knowing the rumors about Subaru's high premium. The SE got back to me on the price and I was smiling. It was only 200 more than my current car!

I told my OC who wasn't very keen at first after looking at the pic, but she was ok with the features. When she saw the 240BHP and Subaru logo, her sian half and say "not again!? I duwant another bumpy and noisy car that can only hear the exhaust sound instead of the radio!" I managed to coax her to join me in the testdrive with my little one.

While everyone tested the power in the testdrive, I slow like a turtle to feel the comfort level of the car are normal speed. Immediate Seal of approval from OC! The little one was like climbing up and down and having fun!

The rest is history.

Don't be so shiok with your purchase. Very soon you will be poisoned by all these Bros who gave you praises. Be prepared to set aside another $10K for these poison! And we promise we don't tell your OC. But u buy Kopi.

Me book back Altis. Thats why i say i dnt wnt to regret not getting an XV.

�

No offence but that is kind of retrograde kind of logic here.

�

I usually do my research and ask all my questions about the various contenders before I book. And when I book, I am sure I have eliminated most chances of regret.

Ya, Altis is quite fool proof. My uncle drive one too...

�

Maybe Forester is cater to diff breed of drivers, it is fun to drive and handle etc & most Forester owners less concern about FC (anyway, the FC of Forester is reasonable when compare to other cars that have same cc and power). � Overall, it is value for money choice although it is not the lowest cost (when u want to compare in every dept i.e. FC, road tax, insurance etc.)

Most Toyota are not good in handling.

Yah, Toyota handling cannot make till too kilat, otherwise drivers anyhow whack, affect their no.1 reliability branding.

MIT EX 1.5?
You will get around 8 to 9 on the FXT.

Yes I'm driving MIT EX 1.5 and its FC is deteriorating due to aging engine... Oh turbo is 8-9? So I assumed NA should be 10-11 or better? Cos love this car but concerned abt FC & maintenance...

Hi there, can any owners of 2016 Forester 2.0 NA share how is the car when cruising on the highway (NSHW) at speeds of around 120-140km/h in terms of:

1) wind noise

2) RPM and engine noise

3) road noise

4) comfort

5) power for overtaking

6) FC

Thanks and regards

I hoping to see the drop in price for the XT.

Managed to secure the COE, the bid was $49K+, second bidding. I called the my agent, he said the stock is not here and will let me know when to collect car. When I signed, he did mention likely collection is end Apr. Not sure why they secure the COE so early..�

What is the OMV for Forester NA and XT, facelift version?

Anyways im trying to find more abt in car cam for park mode. Any of have good reviews of any brand thats good with heat resistance and no issue with battery drain. How abt wheels? Is 17" comes with better wet grip then 16" or the same. Cos i read good reviews of Goodyear F1 but only comes in 17", so sad. For those with good recommendation for rim and wheel trade in for good price. Can share? Help on another to save more and also experience. Thanks guys.
