Hi, my car vocie command got some issue. When press nothing happen. Something like invalid operation shown on hu. Anyone got same issue or never even bother to try?
�
Cannot press immediately after HU startup or bluetooth connection established.
The voice command startup is different from the HU startup.� After the HU startup or the bluetooth connection established, then the voice command will boot up.
Need to wait about 1 min. before the boot up is complete and you can press the button.
Then should work.

Was driving a FD 1.8 version for 10 years. Hence, want to replace it for higher height rideSedan price?
Then can recommend cheaper SUV :)
Need some advise from bros here.. Thinking of changing my wife car from a sedan to a cheaper suv and lesser power ... Our FXT is really nice to drive. But wife don't need the power and hence thinking of a less powerful suv. Any suggestion beside FNA? Qashqai is $103800 now.
Is qashqai drive similar to FNA?
�
honestly, the qashqai drives like crap. sorry to say that but its my honest opinion. actually, i thought it drives quite ok initially until i experienced some power loss when accelerating from stop. It was quite shocking and made me panic for a while and i feedback to the SE who sat beside me. He just told me casually the turbo need some time to spool so initial acceleration no turbo yet???! Apparently, its a known problem and I saw from qashqai thread that they owners has since got it fixed. Other wise, the drive is quite comfortable with relatively soft suspension. The other thing is the power delivery. The 1.2T is quite erratic compared to the 2.0 which is very smooth. U need to anticipate the power if u r a new qq driver. Engine also sounded pretty rough when pushed a little (around 3k rpm). sometimes, it feels like its struggling pretty badly to keep up with traffic. Again, the owners have a fix for this. They install some gadget to boost acceleration.�
�
On surface, the built quality looks good, but i experienced some rattling sound in the cabin during the test drive. Again, this was a known problem highlighted by some owners. Think can get it fixed by TC. The SE actually advised me to do soundproofing after getting the car??! The car body doesn't feel as rigid as i expected despite its made in the UK. I tot it might have some feel like a VW??

Boot is small and rear seats are cramp and my head is almost touching the roof. (i'm 1.72m btw...)
Price is attractive and design is nice. Spare parts and accessories are aplenty.�

�
Respect... i gave up the FD 1.8 after driving for close to 2 years. Its was coming to 9 years when i sold it. the poor sound insulation and stiff suspension was driving me nutz....

Like not much choice.
Maybe should just let wife decide since she is driving :)
Current Forester drivers does anyone experience the radiator coolant level drop?

During my 5K servicing, I reported to the SA on�the coolant level drop and after the servicing the report indicate the pressure was ok.
�
I�monitor the coolant level again and just in a�month plus I notice that the coolant level has drop 20cm�from the after the servicing coolant level.

1) Coolant is�design as a Close loop system.
2) Pressure test the system no sign of leakage.
3) External No sign of leakage.
4) Internal unable to verify.
5) Coolant evaporation unable to verify.

Nothing to worry about as that is just an overflow tank; worry when it is dry. The radiator fluid expands and contracts which may account for the rise and fall of the level.Current Forester drivers does anyone experience the radiator coolant level drop?

When radiator is hot. After driving for sometime and engine temp is above 90.. N u off engine, the coolent level will be at Full level. U check after off engine
No point changing to motul racing 5w40 as its a race oil.. Won't last 10k oil change unless u intend to do 3k or max 5k oil change and bring the car to trackWhen u buy a Subaru, and your service says it's ok, u just drive and drive and drive until u buy another Subaru and continue driving it again.

You all know when we reverse, only one reverse side is light up. This is for FL version. Isnt it dangerous??

My gross black vinyl wrap cost me around 90 iirc for the grille. I didn't do the fog lamps.Was thinking of doing mine and therefore seeking for opinions on which method is more cost effective.
Plastidip is cheaper at 22 bucks per can. The only thing is it gives a matt finish that is abit rough to touch. Plastidip may not last so occasionally need to touch up.
Both methods are easily reversible.
Its all up to your preference. Some folk very hands on and even DIY the vinyl wrap themselves.

For me it's the other way round. Its the chrome around the fog lamps that made me decide to de-chrome the whole frontal area of the FXT.

Had got some quote from carousell and hopefully can head down to get it done today.
Tks for your advice bro.
I did mine plasti-dip and no, eventually it will feel smooth after weeks. It was rubbery for a while though. And its tough too if know how to properly spray it.My gross black vinyl wrap cost me around 90 iirc for the grille. I didn't do the fog lamps.

I'm puzzled why Subaru still use handbrake for Forester when many of the new cars out there are using electric brake?

Can i check with you guys why OMV so low for forester? love this car but wondering why such low OMV for a great car!
I notice that a lot of new forester owners are in their 30s to 40s, some even in their 50s. Most of us are probably family men looking for a safe, stable, spacious and value for money family car for small families. I guess the boxy design doesn't appeal much to the younger crowd who prefer qq and vezels. Also not everyone appreciates the benefits of the awd system. Most still feels that it's just extra weight and does nothing much in our local road condition, but yet eats more fuel. Of course the old mindset of Subaru cars being fuel guzzlers still lingers in most minds despite the fact that their new cvt is very fuel efficient and capable.We should stop posting such pictures of the forester that will encourage people to buy them.

Can tell if the Forester is XT or NA...attitude man.
The low OMV is tactical. By doing so they temp buyers. I'm moved.
That's why Subaru is not that popular , it will always be associates with Ah Beng drivers .
Hope it always remain less popular..
Anyone with front sensors installed by MI that sound off for no apparent reason whereby there is nobody or car in the sensor proximity? NO! its not because of 7th month..

Fxt? Mine collected mid May. No letter so far.
Only 2015 batches are affected. Facelift batches are safe.
Which is your car model? Facelifted or pre-FL?
Should say mine is mid facelift. Collected on last September, HU is touch screen and antenna is fin type but head lamp and interior finishing is pre FL.
Fxt? Mine collected mid May. No letter so far.
Strangely even though high cg, it can still handle bends and corners pretty well compared to a lot of sedans out there. I have to admit I'm not a patient driver with my fxt lol. I can't stand road hoggers.

With the low CG of the boxer engine, the overall CG of the FXT may not be that much higher than normal sedan - so is actually quite good.
Plus the FXT suspension is generally better than bread and butter cars.
Plus the AWD let you acceclerate out of a turn in a more stable manner than FWD drive cars. (For slowing down into a turn, AWD may not help much except perhaps you can use engine braking to 4 wheels to have similar effect as using brakes - but otherwise, if braking into a turn, all cars got 4 brakes but FXT's brakes are also generally better than most bread and butter cars).
Plus FXT has torque vectoring so the computer will apply different brake force between inner and outer wheels to help make the turning more effective. Some other cars may not have.
Having said that, always drive within the capabilities of the car.

with all the good engineering built into the car by Subaru, its always a joy to drive my fxt. :) The mediocre bridgestones stock tires do no justice to its handling, but yet the car is already more than capable enoughThe sucky shell helix oil is also not optimizing all the power but its good enough since no need to top up money for it. A lot of drivers out there still thinks that the fxt is just a big bulky and wobbly giant. I still get some jokers once a while trying to outrun and overtake me for their pleasures.. Only this morning around 7+am I was exiting sle to amk ave 1, some joker driving the new Carens 1.7 diesel tried to tail gate me and overtake me. Seriously, these jokers. �but the new Carens has very good low end torque, can see the initial pick up was really fast. I lower down my window and could hear that guy rev the nuts of his turbodiesel engine. Wa, really loud! Power!�

Buy the 2 years package, u can get some discount and it includes a set of brake pads and free tyres rotation every 10k. A lot of those $99 servicing deals at those workshops seriously don't make the cut. A car is a pretty ex liability in spore, I wun risk my 120k fxt on the hands of unreliable workshops. Of course, there are some really good workshops out there, but I'm too lazy to find out and they are also probably located at some ulu places which I dun like to go. Lol...

There are a few pro subaru workshop which is good and not like what you mentioned.
My previous subaru only gets 3 �free service which lasted only 2.5months, since then my car was serviced and repaired by those shop.
Never step into MI again till I bought my second subaru car.
I can bring my own oil for servicing and not being pull by the noseby MI to perform some replacement parts which MI thinks it's "better to change."
Any good ethic workshop would advise you what to look out for on your next service and get yourself prepare for what's coming your way.
They are good, knowledgeable and efficient. Don't lump every workshop together and say they are out there to cheat money, not very kind leh.
BMS, BKS and Merlin just to name a few. These are like household name for those who knows.
Perhaps your 1k servicing package can last you 2 years, I guess the 1k may last me more than 3 years if you are talking about normal servicing.�
Obviously a new Subaru driver. There are a few pro Subaru workshops out there and are trusted by hard core Subaru owners. I always send my LGT to one of them BK* after the warranty expires.

I am only getting around 7 km/L for my 2-month old FXT, driving mostly short distances (avg <8 km per trip) on weekdays and only going on expressways (20-40 km per trip) during the weekends.

Thanks for your kind replies in advance!

For short distance + start/stop traffic, FC definitely CMI.�
My sincere apologies if this question has been asked before.

- Singapore expressway : able to achieve 6.6L/100km.
- Singapore city driving : average 8-10L/100km.
My average (last 8k km) of 65 city/35 expressway : ~10L/100km.
- NSHW : range from 7 to 12L/100km.
Turbo 240hp/350N-m with CVT (I,S,S# mode) is build to let individual driving behaviour to manage FC.
I sometime pump 100 Octane, more responsive and better FC.

If more highway cruising for that week, can achieve around 11.5km/L at the end of the tank.
My FC after 4 months ownership of '16 XT, 10k km :
- Singapore expressway : able to achieve 6.6L/100km.
- Singapore city driving : average 8-10L/100km.

I sometime pump 100 Octane, more responsive and better FC.I can get 6.2L/100km when full tank on expressway.
Can advise where to get 100 Octane petrol? I thought here highest is 98 Octane.

In other words Pro Subaru shops don't offer preventive maintenance la?

I already asked. They don't rebate you for the oil even if you bring own engine oil.
My next servicing is 20k. Also considering to go outside pro subaru workshop.
5 years right...
Havent read up on the so called pro subaru shops, but looking at the 2 year/40k km package, I dont mind sticking with MI after the 5 years.�
The main reason for me to stay away from MI is the engine oil they used.�

Hi All...just got my FXT couple of weeks back & there is this annoying rattling/squeaky sound seems to be coming from the rear...either boot or rear seats which I just can't pinpoint after googling. Folded seats down n up, checked seat belt on roof, any shaky plastic parts in boot area all taped down, styrofoam boards covering spare wheels examined...still can't rid the sound! Super annoying n MI can't resolve it during my 1st servicing. Heard it could be the rear seat as it's locally installed. Anyone had the same problem n managed to settle it? Pls advise...thanks much! Can WhatsApp me at 90303299!
Imho, if you aren't in a hurry, you can wait it out.
For my case I signed for FNA 8 NG when Coe was about 45k. The first bid they bidded 47k when it closed at 49k. The next bid they bidded 53k and I got it at 51k...�
Finally, the long wait and I secured my COE at the recent bidding!! Does anyone has the checklist for things to look out for during the car collection. Let me apologize first if this topic has been discussed before.
Need to check,for those who signed for fna 8 bid ng during end May when COE was 49k and chose to top up 3k, did you manage to get your car?
�
I am one of those guys who signed for FNA 8 bid ng during end May. Finally secured my COE in the recent bidding. I was approached to top up 3K, but did not do so as I am not in a hurry to get car. It was lucky to secure the COE on the 6th bid..

Does anyone know of a reliable pro Subaru workshop in Alexandra Village?�

This is good for you.�
You are getting the car a lower price with a higher COE.
