The current forester sold at MI, is it a 2016 or 2017 forester?

 

Having said that, I don't know the difference  [:p]

 

MI March 2016 facelift forester in the US they called it as 2017 forester.

What is the different of send to Ubi for 15-20 min Job by them compare to DIY with leather product? other than FREE.

 

Is it worth the effort to send all the way there and wait?

 

Thanks for your sharing in advance. [;)]

Cannot compare much. I don't have much expectation since it is free for 4 times.

 

Ubi : 3 persons doing it at the same time = 5-10 min (you have to pay $1 parking fee)

 

Diy : need much longer time + sweat + wax

 

So you need to see whether it is worth it (esp if you do not stay in the east) . But if along the way to ubi, why not ? Since it is 5-10 min. Just call before hand to check :)

Just went to make payment this evening.

 

Heard from SE Expo sale not bad. They have collected enough bookings to last 2 months. How true I don't know.

 

Now best selling model is Forester. XV sale numbers has declined.

 

I also asked him about car shipment. Usually they will ship 70-80 cars per model.

 

Some interesting points for those bros who has intention to book.

As I told him my colleague who is interested in Forester too and his car expired in Jan 2017, he said he can do some adjustment beside the $2000 car trade in. Just hope you guys can get slightly better price with this information from your SE. Also buyer lock in to SE period is one month.

 

As I intended to change the stock speakers, he told me as long don't cut the wire it won't void the warranty. Have in fact order the forester 6x9 front speaker and dashboard tweeter bracket from Taobao..

 

Any Bros has changed their stock speakers?

The stock Hardon Kardon amps can't power up aftermarket 6x9 speakers bec all mapped properly the entire sound system. U may have to add a DSP after changing speakers

....

newspapers quoted ~1200 cars sold for the Expo event, including used cars. spread across so many manufacturers and used car dealers, maybe MI got ~100+ orders?...

but this is by right less than one COE quota bid since CatA+B+E > 1200cars.

we should all hope that Uber and Prime etc. private car rental business plateau or even going downhill as some reports suggests...

As I have removed my previous component speakers from my previous car, I bought the forester speaker brackets from Taobao and going to DIY for Stock speakers swap. As my speakers crossover are passive, I am trying out the sound quality with our FNA HU first. If they don't sound good, I will ditch them with the kickers or source for better coaxial or full range speakers.
