they need a 5+2 for asean markets. hence the huge proportions..

Subaru might release the Ascent for the global market. It will be released on 2018 in North America. The Ascent looks much better than the previous Subie 7-seater, the Tribeca.

Looks like it's a good idea to watch out for some really good deals on the current gen XT sometime next year

I'm inclined to believe the new generation XT will be much much more expensive na... if they're pitting it against the Tiguan.

For those owners of new Foresters na merong eyesight, how did you get around it with your tints? Or wala talagang tint sa windshield totally?

Most of those I read regarding eyesight are in the US, which is illegal naman maglagay ng tint sa harap....

Last PMS ng kakilala ko na naka forester umabot ng 102K parts and labor.

Considering 2x a year ang PMS nya. We were wondering nga bakit hindi na-report yung mga sira nung last PMS.

Mahal ung timing belt and tensioner.

Need your opinion guys, got interested to a 2012 forester 2.0i premium edition as a 2nd vehicle. still considering other options though....Is it a good buy? what are the weaknesses of this model....reliability issues? maintenance costs? fuel economy? thanks!

Just make sure to check it thoroughly and ask for service records. Give it a test drive and observe any unwarranted noises. Don't expect compact or subcompact fuel economy with AWD CUVs, you will be happy to do 7 km/L on it on city driving routes.

Is the current model fxt's headlamp equipped with autoleveliser? I read sa manual there is a section about auto leveliser. Looking at the headlamp housing though, there is a manual adjustment (by screwdriver) for up/down left/right. Was in mi manilabay last weekend and read the spec sheet sa on display fxt, no mention of auto leveliser. While other models like legacy and levorg specifically says the words auto-levelizer equipped headlamps. Ask an agent he's not too sure din hehe
