Now i'm actually considering used XV. I still want the Subaru because of their safety features (my main consideration) for the pricing. 

Which Impreza did you get?

I saw a few used 2018 XV 2.0 Eyesights on sgcartmarts, etc. anyone know if there are major issues with those models? Not sure if the car radio issue is on this model.

make sure u buy the xv 2.0 and not the older xv 1.6. 

xv lowest was low 80+k, dont pay anything more than that.

Yes, I can't get my coe during last bidding. Waiting for nxt bidding. I wat to top up also dun have and even if have will be very high as price went up 10k. Too much backlog of sales due to CB.

dont fall for the top up trick, if cant get just take ur money and go elsewhere.

The nissan epower kicks look good. I test drive very powerful but at 20k more. I think I stick with xv for now. Will wait for 22 jul coe without topup as if topup I must well get the kicks.

e-Power sure looks interesting but Kicks is one class small (competitor is HR-V size), so not a good comparison to XV for the spaciously.

direct comparison Qashqai with ePower will be 2021...

For this no so.. 

It more of regular maintenance... 

Not too expensive to do so...

At what mileage did you change ? How was the condition of the oil ?

[Meemee]

When to workshop did a change at the  rear at 40k. Condition seem ok, not too dark. 

Not sure why they didn't change the front. 

So 2nd round at 70k

With both front 2 ltrs and back 1ltrs

Front is pretty dark / rear seem OK. 

Not too expensive to have the front and rear oil replace - I did under $150.

Hi bro,

 

You change your rear diff oil at 40K and 70K interval ?

Too close already, do not need that frequent change.

[Meemee]

Did at 40k  for thw rear... 

Hence at 70k. Might as well

thanks for the info! was wishing that will work (remove top cover).

like to check, your wiring work is becos of the dual horn setup for Hella? cos i am targetting PIAA single horn so should be more of plug and play?... noob to horn technology but from PIAA horn manual, didn't seem that complicated... 

[Meemee]

Not too hard on the wiring. 

Just need to get one aftermarjet wiring harness which don't cost more than $8.00. Shopee or lazada. 

With a wiring harness, the horn will juice out more power....
