For the power it delivers, and the safety features really gives me confidence in driving the people i loved most. Outdated design or high fuel consumption it claims above, can be easily forgiven infact i personally do not felt so. I would still buy another Forester XT when time to change car, and please do not compare any PPV to Forester they are world apart.

And I thought the current model is 10% more fuel efficient than the previous model which gets 5-6 km/l. I only get around 5km/l. Admittedly, I only do short distance city driving, around 4 km from house to the mall, but its not always traffic, just lots of stoplights.<br /><br />But Subaru is indeed the best value for money out there... CBU Japan, 5 star safety rating (attributable to the advantage of the boxer engine), complete with 7 air bags, traction control, HID, rain sensor, auto headlight, even for the base model (the old base model even have subwoofer, moonroof and power seats).<br /><br />If you drive a lot of km, then maybe getting a diesel engine is justified. But if like me, you only drive say 3,000 km a year, that only amounts to (3000/5*37 - 3000/8*26) Php 12,450 / year. If you are paying 400k premium for a diesel engine like in the CX5(when compared to base model of subaru), the cost saving is not even enough to offset the interest you forego for the 400k even at 5% (Php20,000). Even if you travel 10,000 km a year, that's just Php41,500 savings, which will take 13.5 years to breakeven at 5% interest cost.

Fuel economy might not be a primary concern but you can't beat that proposition in saving 50% of fuel costs at the same amount of power and has better reviews everywhere. The diesel version of the CX5 although pricey exceeds the tech in the Forester. I think there is a pricier version of the Tucson also that has power liftgate and other tech stuff that I don't find important. I know from experience that these unimportant tech stuff will be the first to break down in a car anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-51878032158101496992016-09-07T23:10:13.576+08:002016-09-07T23:10:13.576+08:00Of course it is.
