Mowen Neutral Newbie July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Looking to sign on the dotted line too. Current car still got 9 more months to go. Aiming at the XT too. CO thinks the car too powerful and prefers a Qashqai over the FXT. Test driven the 2.0i many months ago and already find it powerful already. But for 8k more and 100BHP more.. Easy choice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cboonh 2nd Gear July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 Chose white as it's the one that caught me and my wife's attention when we entered the showroom. Near my office, there's dark grey, black, red and blue (all foresters) but no whites! Other reasons: CO insisted on this colour though i'm the one that does the cleaning and maintenance White is slightly cooler in the sun Good visibility to other road users in the dark Not a "loud" colour Current ride is black, want a change It looks good on forester, even better with a little cosmetic upgrade BUT It turns yellowish over time Its hard to bring out the colour's depth even with very good detailing(waxing/polishing) when compared to a black/dark car Common on the road Great list~ I think white looks great on the forester too. *biased view* :) Before going down to the showroom, my missus and I actually thought the red looked quite good. This is based on the 360 view on subaru's website. After going down and seeing the panel colour display, we realised it was a tad too dark for our liking. In the end we chose white. Currently driving a pearl white now (some say "off-white" lol ). Not an expert in car detailing, but it's not too difficult to maintain i must say. Modern paint work on cars are quite good. It can really take some abuse and not degrade too bad. Easy to restore also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I feel that complaining a car too powerful is like complaining one have too much money. She don't have to floor the pedal to use all the power, in fact all she now have to do is to tap it lightly. Let the CVT do it job, the car will still move smoothly like a normal car. Remember this: In terms of power, the XT can drive like a Qashqai, but a Qashqai can never drive like an XT. Edited July 31, 2015 by Pocus 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
db597 1st Gear July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 In Japan the satin white paint is an optional extra. I think because it requires 1 layer more than the other colours. Here is in Singapore it is the same price ;) Downside is when it rains the car gets dirty - need a bit more looking after than colours like silver. Also, I find the metal body is easy to clean, but the the white bumper is harder to wash the dirt off. Not very noticable, but if you look closely the grey stains from the rain tend to soak in.

Easy choice. this difference in price of 8k is very artificial because 2.0na ran OOS. It used to be 13k-18k difference until the latest pricelist. I believe this price difference will be restored once stock rolls in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
