sfym 1st Gear April 27, 2016 Share April 27, 2016 Very comforting to know this :) I think FNA and FXT owners have a really good deal in Singapore from an OMV perspective. I really wonder how they manufacture it so cheap considering it comes from Japan. The FXT at 250 HP and 350Nm is even cheaper than a 1.6L Altis assembled in Thailand. There is just no comparison.. MI could have brought in the eyesight technology t OMV comparison.bmp ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newkid 2nd Gear April 27, 2016 Share April 27, 2016 (edited) Nice. Congrats on getting the car! Anyone got the new Sepia bronze recently? Can post some pictures? Edited April 27, 2016 by Newkid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarion 4th Gear April 27, 2016 Share April 27, 2016 I am looking to rims for performance and FC benefits. I can totally understand if anyone is doing it for looks. To each his own. For BBK, crucial to check that the rims can clear. I think offset of at least 49 or wider rims (8.5) is necessary for the Forester. Bear in mind that wider rims while generally believed to achieve better road holding, will lead to stiffer turning and worse FC. STi 18" has always been able to clear the 4P/2P Brembo / STi calipers used on WRX. a lot of 17" also will clear this Brembo setup. as for FC.... I seriously don't think it will really matter for XT, maybe NA bah. I don't ever feel FC improved on my Prodrives / Volk Racing compared to stock rims.... unless u drive really really gently with this car... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nm: 350Nm, highly doubt ...... US or some overseas market always list the FXT at 250hp. But in Singapore it's spec at 241hp. Not sure why the difference but doubt I can feel the 9hp difference anyway. 7 airbags why must verify? It's listed as that by Subaru Singapore (MotorImage), so we have to take their word for it bah. What to do...it's the same for other manufacturers, either we go challenge their claimed specs or just believe we are getting our money's worth as promised. Performance of the bhp/Nm I don't think there's any shortchange or compromise. Removing the Eyesight Safety System and Navigation module might have a play in the reduced OMV though.

Kangadrool Supersonic April 28, 2016 Share April 28, 2016 (edited) for airbags, just look out for imprints or tags with SRS AIRBAGS. They are usually located at sides of seats, rear pillars... You go around the interior and check for 7 SRS AIRBAGS. But I doubt you want to test if they are in working condition.

USD was stronger than YEN, hence MIT cars are more expensive than MIJ cars..... I rem back in 2010/2011, a Mazda 6 2.5 and a BMW 318 has the same OMV of around $33k.... purely because EUR was cheap and YEN was expensive...
