Boh...hoping next one. 3 bid dy.
1st bid, damn COE went to Audi2016. 02 April 2016 - 10:53 PMTameDriverI know someone who bought XT at $13X last year when COE was higher.
Nope, mine is NA dark grey.
If COE softens to below $35K, NA should drop below $100K.
The car body colours quite limited but dark grey is nicer than black.
Black Diamond refers to extra sporty finishings & leather seat.
02 April 2016 - 11:02 PMWML888Got my XT a week ago, clocked ~500km. My experience with XT so far�:
�
- Came from saloon, XT sits higher, great view�with good forward visibility on the road.�
�
- Compared to my previous ride (06' Mercedes E, 160+hp/240NM), road/wind noise insulation of XT is acceptable. But,�have not�driven on NSHW yet. So, can't tell�how XT score�in road/wind noise at expressway speed.��
�
-�XT's 230+hp/350NM power is best delivered�smoothly. I think FC will deteriorates�significantly under hard acceleration driving style. Overall,�IMHO, FC is not the strength of XT.�����
�
- The AWD performs well, considered its height. Corners feel wheels well planted, with very little body roll. So far, not observed any�rattling sound, indicated a well built chassis/body. A pleasant surprise to�me, actually.�
�
- I replaced the stock tinted films, which I�felt the heat rejection�performance�did not meet my expectations.
�
-�When paired with my Android phone, the head unit can read (read out in voice)�my SMS and E-mails. The only�missing 'nice to have' is the GPS.
�
- The reverse camera is great, with 'green/yellow/red projection lines'.�
�
-�Overall and so far, a pleasant driving/owning experience. ����
02 April 2016 - 11:05 PMPalmerActually that silly Ah Seng advert is so irritating & cheapens the image of Subaru.
I agree. It is damn irritating.�

When the XT was first release around late early 2014, the proce was around $160k

Black Diamond refers to extra sporty finishings & leather seat.Actually most colors are pretty ok. I would have taken flat white if there was such an option. Silver, blue, pearl white, black would be ok for me too. Wife likes the dark grey and I find it nice too. Happy wife, happy life..

03 April 2016 - 05:07 PMSarionRead somewhere that Glenn Tan is the voice of the Ah Beng in the advert and it was his idea. May have been interesting all those years ago circa 2005/2006 when the Ah Beng/Ah Seng advert was first used but they have milked it to death and its totally crass and low class.�
�
I saw an advert on US TV recently, �advertising Subaru cars and it played up the safety features of the Subaru car. So much classier than Glenn "Beng" Tan's idea of marketing Subaru cars.
�
But with the large number of Subaru cars on road now, he probably thinks his adverts did the trick �.....
�
cos since Ah Seng never bring in EyeSight3 and it's related safety features, so cannot place ad for safety mah, else makes like Volvo and Mercedes will laugh until die...

Actually the Forester safety features compared to others japanese car are very high already.
Only left the eyesight and lane departure missing. Likely with these 2 items added, the OMV will cross over $20k, which will definitely affect the sale number.
03 April 2016 - 09:01 PMAyureadyGuys, any one have vibration or fluttering of lose item sound at the dash area when u drive at 90-100kmh
I can't isolate it as my wife do not drive and I have hard time driving and identifying the source of the sound. Driving me mad as it is consistent as long as speed is 95 and above. Confirmed not related to any loose items around glove box etc.
Anyone with similar experience?
03 April 2016 - 09:29 PMWML888Hi, may i know what brand of film u using? How much?
I went�with the�tinted film known to my experience for more than 10 years. (and the cost is a tiny fraction of the�COE nowadays).�But, please go with the one you already researched,�or have prior good experience.
I believe the old Chinese wisdom/saying : 'one cent money, one % quality'.

The new 2016 Outback will get the Rear Vehicle Detection System (RVDS) thingy and likely the associated Rear Cross Traffic Alert�and Blind Spot Detection features as its all relying on same equipment for RVDS. Initially I thought MI will increase the price but they held on to same price....

Check your agreement. I recall seeing the T&C in the agreement. If I recall, it costs $1 (or 2) thousand to change the colour. my sale exec reminded me before I signed the agreement.
are you referring to window visors? any weblinks to show the pics? take note that windows visors may cause wind noise at high speed.
are you driving the pre-facelift or FL model? are you doing soundproofing for ICE or just to cut down general car noise? if it's for the latter, the FL model is supposed to come with better soundproofing like thicker window glass, better rubber seals, insulation materials, etc...�
