its good to have but will need to get used to.. My brother has a Mazda CX-5 2.5 that have this function.. Driving on a total darkeness roads overseas quite irritating to me.. Bec the light beam keep moving and it's always moving up and down if not left and right from the opposite cars' beam.
�
Currently have fully adaptive LED headlamps, they turn in the direction of the turn and the up-down motion is only to keep it level to avoid glare. So far I have found this implementation to be excellent with very wide illumination in dark places without glare and it also switches to a narrow, long beam at high speed.
�
It does depend on the implementation and how variable it is. Adaptive LED technology is much more capable of a wider range of illumination and beam pattern compared to regular bi-xenon.
It's for 6 bids. Non-gtdYeah, I think so too.�
�
I understand from my SE that non-gtd is 1k cheaper.�
�
So would like to know whether the 125800 posted is for gtd or non-gtd.

Did u indent and pay 1k as car reach next week?
Booked 1-2 weeks back. They factor the additional 1k into the overall price package.
Secured Coe on first bid. So I guess no need for guarantee Coe for the other bros interested

Oh... I see. Cos I have booked the black colour and the SE said the ship will be in either end Oct'15 or early Nov'15. So yours is an ex-stock unit? Which colour?
I received the mail, and done the rectification in my recent MI half year service

I booked my ride with MI (FXT) on 22nd Sep. Chose the available color of dark grey (ready stock), & SE managed to get the COE the next day (1st bid). �Probably I secured the 1st bid, as I chose the available stock (back then, I still had a selection of blue, silver, dark grey, maroon & bronze to choose from). �Got my ride on Fri 8th Oct. �Heard that their current stock only left with one Blue color (for Forester XT model) when I met my SE to sign some bank's paperwork today morning (guess by the end of today Sat, this last stock of blue color should be taken up already)...she checked & said that the next shipment should be arriving in a week's time...however for this shipment, there were already many buyers pre-ordered especially for the black & white colors...if you should book one within the next few days for the popular colors, the stock level could be very low already....worse, if the stock are all taken up, you will need to pay extra $1K to indent for their next shipment for the particular color that you want...

The HU does not seem to support playing of Video from IPOD. I checked the manual but it did say playing from USB
drive. I have been testing this as well and will test using a USB thumb drive with a video file soon and see if it works.

How's the crowd there? Thinking of going to level 1 Nissan showroom, any idea if it is crowded now?

According to manual, these are to video types we can play. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to play my testing mp4 video, different codec perhaps.
The videos will not play when car is moving.
Anyone know when the facelift XT will arrive in Singapore, and if MI will increase the price on the model ?
I've been driving a White FXT for 6 weeks now. My FC is averaging 10km/l with a mix of 50/50 driving. It does get worst with City driving.� It's a very pleasant drive, with power when needed. However, the lag can be annoying in I mode when trying to overtake. But in S mode, its really something.... I've not tried it in S# mode... not here but maybe when I drive up to M'sia :-)
�
I find the radio reception to be rather poor. When stationary, the sound quality is acceptable, but it gets bad when moving. However, if I play from Bluetooth, the sound quality is petty good.

Will the best grade affect the IU detection? Or they cut a hole?
I believe the Apple connector does not transmit video. It requires a special sort of video output cable. Then again, if the car is reading files directly from the iPod/iPhone it shouldn't be an issue.

But as Pocus mention, the HU will probably not play videos while in motion.

I was told by a MI SE that the 2.0L model can use 95/92 octane petrol. The 2.0XT must use 98 octane or above as it's a turbo. Don't know how true.

Facelift version supposed to also have torque vectoring.. if available in SG, this would make the FXT even more nimble!

As with all things new, FL will be usually higher and out-going model a little cheaper.
Didn't XT had a face lift this yr in May/Jun? Another face lift coming up so soon?
Not really a facelift for that one. That is only the local AD replace the outdated HU with a new LCD touch screen. Which are already available at others market when the car first release.Didn't XT had a face lift this yr in May/Jun? Another face lift coming up so soon?

I always felt too light foot not necessary give you better FC. Because it take a long time to reach the cruising speed.
I believe in moderate to fast accelerate to the cruising speed, which car had reach top gear and lowest rpm. That will give you better FC.
�
I am not driving the XT yet, my current car I had a Pivot 3 Drive Throttle controller installed. I am using sport mode and set to sport 7 (max setting). i am getting same FC as using normal mode. With sport 7 mode, I am able to get faster throttle response.
Wow that's really bad! So far I haven't hit so low yet, my worst is 8km/l where I did mostly short trips and played a lot of s and s# mode. Did you leave your car idling a lot?
Hmm...perhaps I did idle the car a little more for the 1st few days...to learn the interior & the HU...but guess never idle for more than 30mins, 2 days max at most..?
I also understand that the engine oil I hear for the car now is standard mineral oil right..? If yes, maybe it'll worsen the fc a bit, until MI will change to synthetic oil for he 1st 1,000km servicing..?

The city and highway % does mean a lot. Plus maybe it takes sometime after a few tanks for the corr ft figures to show. I basically hit 11.5k/L after 4th tank with 80%HW

Don't judge based on the % of the accelerator, use the instantaneous FC readout.
This one will tell you if you are wasting fuel at that point of time while you drive, then you adjust accordingly.
low % acceleration may not pull enough power to move the heavy chassis. No momentum will eat fuel more.
Better to step more to get momentum and save more fuel.
IMHO, don't expect great FC for city driving.
7~8 are consider good FC for subaru car for city driving...

FXT? I get frequently told that turbos need to be treated somewhat differently, climb the gears fast as possible rather than go light footed. Light footed use more petrol. So I guess, you need to be a bit heavier footed?

Hmm...perhaps I did idle the car a little more for the 1st few days...to learn the interior & the HU...but guess never idle for more than 30mins, 2 days max at most..?
I also understand that the engine oil I hear for the car now is standard mineral oil right..? If yes, maybe it'll worsen the fc a bit, until MI will change to synthetic oil for he 1st 1,000km servicing..?
As far as I know.. The engine oil is synthetic from the get-go. :)
Anyone recently signed up, I am planning to do so this weekend for the FXT.
�
Just checking to see what else I can squeeze. I read that some got front and back camera.
�
Is it worth to ask for the 60K or 3 year servicing package?
�
CEO drop but price no change...Sianzzz
Can't wait for it already.
Can I check with the seniors on the various mode of driving and which one usually u use? Normal is the S mode???
Thanks alot
Don't judge based on the % of the accelerator, use the instantaneous FC readout.
This one will tell you if you are wasting fuel at that point of time while you drive, then you adjust accordingly.
low % acceleration may not pull enough power to move the heavy chassis. No momentum will eat fuel more.
Better to step more to get momentum and save more fuel.
When I first used the Shell 95 I got average around 12 points but later change to Shell 98 I got average 10.6

Was told my car already at port but only able to collect at end of month :"(

The default is "I" mode.
Sporty modes are "s" mode and "s#" mode.
There's a debate which mode offers the most balance drive in terms of economy and power. For mostly highway driving s# mode may be better, for mostly city driving i mode is still the way to go.

Thanks for the info, will switch to this gauge & see if it works. �Anyway, I always think, that if you're always pondering over the fuel consumption, you'll lose the fun of driving a turbo Subaru...like what others say, if you want fuel efficiency, go buy a Toyota instead� ![[:p]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uoTkiq6rvG_u5FPnmflerc0SnGanpOYzWEIRefTakGJ16AQ0KlZaeoFN-HIbP0Z-5My_Ewn0Av-2ASQ1HGMW5DgXD_moYflMcD0lMeT9-VXVDXUKZXLK2K75kTLlIXqZ1B5wIsJEk=s0-d)

IMHO, don't expect great FC for city driving.
7~8 are consider good FC for subaru car for city driving...
�
Yup...I'm sure its mainly bcos of my 80% city; 20% highway route that's the main cause...bo pian lah...
�
As far as I know.. The engine oil is synthetic from the get-go. :)
�
Ohh...? �I heard the 1st initial oil is mineral...so it'll be great if it's started with synthetic...
Audio shop should have rubber noise insulation seal for the door..
�
�
Am trying out this door seal with my installer...will update if there's any improvements...
�
�
Am also doing sound proofing at the back & at all doors yesterday, during the installation of the current stock sound system, to my previous system in my previous car. �But I will be retaining the current HU, as my previous HU's not suitable for 2-din space. �Here are some pics to share :

So what is the different between S and S#?

S# will holder the rpm higher than S before gear change.
S# will change the gear to 8 spd.

S# will change the gear to 8 spd.
arh... that's why S# is good for highway driving....
�
Thanx for the feedback.
thanks for clarifying on the different modes.
�
�
Am i right to say the different mode will at most affect only the FC but not the longevity of the gearbox?�
�
hehe should be fun to be in perm S# or at least S mode ? hehe
�
remember I mode to be abit laggy when i test drive it.
Fuel consumption increased after sound proofing? :)

haha...nope, like I mentioned in my earlier post, I've actually given up on pondering over fuel consumption liao...as what I've did in my previous ride. �I did the sound proofing is b'cos of my sound system, as well as the additional door seal on all doors, to try to reduce wind noise...
�
Yup, the added weight of the sound proofing materials will add on to the fuel consumption for sure haha...

Hmm? Yours sensors factory fitted? When I was considering Forester two months ago, they told me the rear sensors are locally fitted and front sensors optional with a dedicated display mounted on dash.

oops, my bad, I meant locally fitted reverse sensor by MI...

Front sensors are freebies or have to pay?

Unless you can get your SE to provide the front sensors for free.... otherwise have to pay S$220 (2 points) or S$280 (4 points) for the front sensors excluding GST from MI

Hey bro, �for "sport sharp" (S#) on highway driving, gear 8, the rpm is higher by a few hundred as compared to "I" mode with gear 6. �In this instance, S# should be burning more fuel right?�

S# gear 8 and I mode gear 6 same rpm,
but S# gear 6 rpm higher than I mode gear 6

�
at the time quote me have to pay. I can't remember how much for 2 or 4 points
S# gear 8 and I mode gear 6 same rpm,
but S# gear 6 rpm higher than I mode gear 6
Hi Quantum, �I tried on my way home yesterday evening and yes the rpm remain unchanged. But, during cruise control at about 95km/h on "I" mode at about 1600rpm, the rpm increase to 2,000rpm when I switch to "S#"

If S# mode , gear should not be at 8, maybe gear 6 or 7

Reading the manual and noticed many features are optional. Does the Forester 2.0 equipped with tire pressure monitoring & tow hitch ?
Hi,
Is the front sensor useful or is it over sensitive?
I somehow like the front sensor as my previous car has shorter front. The sensor really come in handy.
And best is part of the freebies
�
�Hi bro, No. You gotta buy online & find an installer to install it.�
�
Thanx. I will check if MI will do it.
WHAT!!!!!! That is so freaking expensive.. hahahaha... my goodness...
�
�
Haha.. yeah. I rather turn on my intermediate lights (not sure what's the correct term for it) and get the "C" lighted up.... that's my DRL then spend S$620 for it.
�
But you can get outside for 1/3 or less ... but it's the darn warranty issue

Ya, that's a good alternative too. Looks pretty good as well.
�
BTW, I signed on the dot with your SE. Thanx for the recommendation.
Now�MI is�so damn stingy with the freebies.� Didn't get much for the deal.
�
haha...MI's one are original LED lamps from Subaru, like those you can see on the STi version, thus cost a premium...some of the bros out there & myself installed the aftermarket one at less than $220...or maybe cheaper depending on the installer's installation charge...
�
Yup, it will void warranty to the lighting systems, should anything crops up in them...also, for future inspection in 3 year's time, you need to blank-off the LED lights with black tape, else inspection will fail. �Also the fear of getting summon by LTA on bikes...

Eh? DRL not approved meh? Some other brands also have DRL on them... Can explain further?
�
MI said their type of DRL is not approved by LTA, as they did not send any car for inspection or apply for the approval for the current Forester XT version, which the DRL light is not a standard option...my SE said probably when they started to bring in the STi version with the DRL as a standard factory-fitted item, then their mgmt should send for approval.

Got sti version meh?
Got sti version meh?
�
yup...but SE said they don't have any news if mgmt is bringing this version to our shore...
�
This is the "TS" version which is exclusive to Japan only lah. Only 550 built and all JDM. No longer in production. It's basically a normal Foerster xt with sti kits. No engine enhancement.yup...but SE said they don't have any news if mgmt is bringing this version to our shore...
The only way to see this here is via PI not MI.
Your SE cannon? LOL if have I also buy!!

haha...my SE also blur one when I asked about this STi version. �Googled & showed her the pic, then she said "Oh I see...I also didn't know got this version...but don't think my mgmt will bring in yet...blah blah blah". �Then she start to sell me to buy the kits for my XT (front & rear STi lip, red stitching for the seats, exhaust tip, etc. but without nose grille or interior STi accessories), which will costs another $5K...I turned down immediately...
yup...but SE said they don't have any news if mgmt is bringing this version to our shore...

JDM FXT Sti got 300ps/400Nm 6speed Manual GB or CVT,
but Singapore fuel�grade cannot make it, so tuning to 250ps/350Nm CVT only

�
I think Singapore 98 fuel grade should be OK.
Is the others South East Asia fuel grade not OK, Subaru factory will just sell one version for all the SEA country which is more easy for them.�
Like the Toyota car here are mostly for the SEA version.
Memory Seats...understand the new facelift model will come with Memory Seats. Any idea if the current Forester, which already comes with electric driver seat can be retrofitted to Memory seat?
if not for the performance ... can get any bodykit workshop to STI the car yourself ... hehe

haha you're right...they can even convert your car to a "Transformer" if you want....just need $$$ only

My SE offered me to buy the extended servicing package when I sign on the paper, & the price's the same if I should consider & buy later after I collected the car...

better think twice,
current free service how many years, extend how many years?
believe they sure prompt their wear and tear parts at high price during the extend service period, if you don't buy, warranty void
