Ewennst 1st Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 I would like to ask the Forester NA owners here. How does the car feel in day to day use. Is it adequate? I drive a 1.6 toyota. Now thinking of getting the Forester.More than adequate, even in I-mode. I drove a 1.6L SX4 before Forester NA. Go test drive and confirm it yourself. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_ryder 1st Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 Question for the bros who ordered their Foresters recently. After how many bids did you get your car? I am eagerly awaiting my first bid next week. My friend who ordered a Mazda 3 now on his 3rd bid. I wonder how is Subaru bidding like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie12345 1st Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 My previous Tucson 2.0l was "adequate". Changing to Forester NA is more than adequate for me.. :-)U mean Tucson 2.0 cannot be compare to Forester NA? Question for the bros who ordered their Foresters recently. After how many bids did you get your car? I am eagerly awaiting my first bid next week. My friend who ordered a Mazda 3 now on his 3rd bid. I wonder how is Subaru bidding like?

Jamesgetz 4th Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 It may also depend on stock availability. Mine is 2nd bid.+1. If car model u ordered got ready stock, they will bid higher for u so that they can close the sales. If your car coming only in May / June, they will be conservative Becos the lower the COE price they can get, the higher their margin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesgetz 4th Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 After reading a few of the posts here, I now regret not going for the non-G discount. Sigh.. no worries, it makes sense to go for guaranteed bid since your car model has ready stock. guarantee and non-G discount difference is $1K?

Yeshe Turbocharged March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 Hi, My father & I have been looking at the Forester XT as a possible replacement for our 06 Cefiro. Took a test drive and found the power and acceleration superb (of course), visibility good and refinement above expectations. Some questions: 1) OMV $18697, CEVS Surcharge $5000, then it should mean ARF is $23k and PARF Rebate is about $11800 after 10 years? 2) AWD: does it mean when one tyre is punctured/replaced, need to replace all 4 or shave the new tyre to same diameter? We have been driving FWD cars all this while so that will need getting used to. 3) does it have Start-Stop? Cause it seems like the XV has it. 4) possible to get at least 10km/l in i-mode, about 50% city? For such high bhp rides, if can get 9km/h u already ahm chio leow. If u expect 10km/h u will have to look at NA, not xt. Even so, I wonder if na can get 10km/h 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattokkingu 3rd Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 U mean Tucson 2.0 cannot be compare to Forester NA? When the SE told u when the batch of car eill arrive for u is when they will bid for u at higher price I have tested both the Tucson and Forester NA in recent months. Initial pick up and smoothness of drive, i think Forester is better. Do test drive both if not already done so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJGDKK8 1st Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 After reading a few of the posts here, I now regret not going for the non-G discount. Sigh.. Looking on the bright side, you are guaranteed a delivery even if COE sudden shoot up. On the other hand, guys like myself, if eventually can't get a COE, will be heart ache that why did not sign up for guaranteed package Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talkie 1st Gear March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 More than adequate, even in I-mode. I drove a 1.6L SX4 before Forester NA.
