Subaru Forester

[foresterx]

the current engine of the forester is good enough for me, don't get me wrong i like the new engine, but those changes doesn't really convince me to replace my current forester. what would truly convince me to buy a new forester is they should offer both a/t or m/t transmission for the forester just like on the previous gen. foresters or atleast give it a new transmission just like subaru did on the legacy and outback instead of using the old 4EAT transmission.

if MI is planning to bring the forester with the new engine then that's just a wrong move for them, they should bring in the diesel forester which would make a lot of the current forester owners replace their forester's and attract more customers at the same time.

if MI brings the diesel forester or the 2011 comes with a new transmission then i would buy one in a heart beat.

question to the subie gurus, is the rear speakers softer than the front speakers? i have to adjust the fader to R8 or r9 just to have music coming out of the rear speakers.

Hello!

My family is planning to buy a Forester XT. I have a question, does the Forester XT come with parking senors/ reverse parking sensors as standard? Thanks

it doesn't come with parking sensors, but MI has it available i think 20,000 ata ang price niya.

For current owners, the new engine won't make a difference to them. But for people who are in the market now, it would be nice to have the new engine.

As for the diesel engine, can it really handle the low grade bunker (I mean diesel) fuel that the oil companies are passing off here as diesel fuel? The diesel plus a new 6 speed auto trans would be nice.

hi foresterx, if the setting of the fader is set to 0 (no front/rear bias) the loudness of the front and rear speaker are almost the same?

the 20k sensor is the original subaru sensor wherein they dont need to bore a hole on your bumper... they also sell a local version but they need to bore holes for the sensor.. it sells for 6.5k i think

yes my fader is set to 0 and ok naman, di naman mahina sa likod. halos parehas lang ang lakas front and back.

Set fader to 0. Sit in the front and listen. Sit at the back and listen. Remember that sound farther away, i.e., from the back, will arrive later than the front. It may affect perceived loudness.

found the culprit, if surround sound is turned on, the mids'highs of the rear speakers becomes muffled...

Did you mean the SRS Circle Surround? May lalabas na ((o)) when CS Auto is on.

Ganun talaga because it mimicks 5.1 channel setup even without 5.1. You will notice that you will have phantom center, and your bass will improve (emulating the .1) and that function is provided by setting a low pass on the rears.

Cheers!
