The original resin cargo tray from Subaru/Motor Image is $210.

 

I asked the SA about the cargo tray and side protector/guard and told me MI no have for Outback...

 

Forester has wider range of accessories.

iirc per the manual. subaru ( actually most jap car in general) are designed to run on ron 91

 

using 98/vpower etc is overkill

 

Raised this during the new owner session, the answer is 95 is good enough.  He suggested to get the highest RON available when topping up petrol up north.

A cheaper solution. Get a few rubber mats. Stick some velcro below. Can get from DIY shops.

 

Good enough for the bike, the Golf Bay and the fishing gear.

iirc, the recommended is ron 95. I am always on 95, getting 11+ since first tank.

 

If I remember correctly, the fuel consumption shown is accurate if the distance driven is more than 25km per session. This was mentioned during the new owner session.

Yup. But I'm waiting the full three years first.

 

Electrical is 1 year right?

 

For me, I don't know if I'll change anything. My previous ride remained largely stock - rims, radio/CD player, etc. The accessories I changed out are tyres (outside workshops) and head light bulbs (TB/DIY).

 

Need the moolah for diapers and milk powder... hahaa...

Yah, that is a cheaper solution. The cargo tray from ebay cost ~S$170.00, the shipping is about the price of one tray. Just asking - anyone keen on group buy?

 

 

Me too. Anyone?

 

 

I got the cargo tray from SE, is S$ 210

The door Visor is S$ 250

Front parking sensor is S$ 220

Rear bumper resin step panel S$ 210

Fender Flare S$ 580

Yes, first 4 items confirmed available at MI, of course subject to stock availability.

 

Fender flare is the 4 piece black rubber/resin protection to cover the fender?  Really have from MI?  Interesting...

Yes MI has stocks for the fender flare. I had installed it. The rear bumper step panel has two types, a metal one and rubber.

 

The visor with metal trim, is quite nice.

Its not exactly accurate..i have done manual calculation.. minor difference but still can live with it.

Full tank at 8.7l/100km most of the time, happy :)

"Subaru has enhanced the Forester's interior, adding more weatherstripping and thicker glass to alleviate high levels of noise that plagued previous versions. More sound deadening and an acoustic windshield further attempt to quiet the cabin."

 

Looks like the noise is the common complain, and they are making the above changes. The SE from MI quoted the Clasanic Sound and heat insulation at $588, went to take a look and essentially, it is just a piece of plastic, even the SE didn't look convinced that it has any effect. Wonder any bro took the offer please?

The Clasani coats audibly reduce road surface (as opposed to traffic) noise on my Legacy, and I know at least one other Legacy owner who agrees with me. ymmv.

What's the bonnet foil supposed to do? Because if it fits the Outback, might fit my Legacy too.

Clasani spray available in SG. Question is where to spray and how much to spray  [:p] . Wonder if this is the same as what MI is using....

The foil supposed to help to reduce dents and scratches from flying sand and pebble.

Thanks! So the foil is on the underside of the bonnet, or on the external surface?

Exactly, I feel my envy returning. Must go waste time on TB now as an antidote!

if I am not wrong, is a transparent plastic sheet paste on the metal panel holding the grill and headlights
