Bro,

No. Previously they only give half year.

Pick-up / Delivery Service

Anyone tried this for your servicing at MI?  How much does it cost?  Worth it?

[commonjunks]

No. Previously they only give half year.

 

True it saying 6 month free tax + Additional 6 months road tax. So i think for all new buyer this would be included.

I am not sure about cost but if you have more important things to manage then i think this should be worth it.

For me i drop car early morning and get either in lunch time or end of the day.

I thought Subaru only give half year, unless it is a OPC car.

 

Is your car a weekend car (OPC)?

TY mate, I have almost made up my mind after looking at few other options (going to get XT)

Will i be able to make it with 8 BIDS NON Guaranteed COE? They are giving 1000$ discount if i go with that option.

Which SE and branch? They told me no such 8 bid leh

anyway this info may have been lost in the whole list of pages... what is PCD of the wheel for Forester? 5x100 or 5x114.2?

[Alvinnoob]

NG. Lady who helped us in sale, suggest us can go for NG. Will update once i get it approved.

Bro, pm Package. Thinking of signing this 2 weeks

Normally I pump 230 all round at cold once a month. By the next pump, pressure drop to 220 all round. So my feel is that at 220-230, the car seems to be in a very ideal state where comfort and handling is most optimal for me. I'm using the slime tire inflator btw. Always pump during morning at mscp.

 

So far fc has been excellent at this tire pressure.

Your an fxt? How excellent is your FC?

[Esee]

I have signed on the dotted line today for FXT. Any bro can add me to the whatsapp group? 9768O7O3. Thanks much!

See how you drive lo. If u drive it like a non turbo, probably 10 to 11km/l, but if u r a heavy footer, expect 8-9km/l

Haha... what about FXT?

Fc is a sensitive topic as it can differ a lot among drivers, road conditions, driving habits and car setups. Btw, I'm quite familiar with driving a cvt transmission car as I drove a slyphy for 23k km prior to getting a fxt.

 

So my sharing may not reflect the actual fc of other uses.

 

I'm on motul 300v 5w30, Michelin primacy 3 235/50/18 tires @ 230kpa all around. Full stock conditions except for 4 doors sound proof by MI and undercarriage anti rust proofing by MI. I have 1 passenger in front 50% of the time, 2 car seats at the back, and boot is 3/4 full.

 

On my normal driving style (accelerate to 2.5k rpm from stop and maintain around 1.5 to 2k rpm on cruising), based on 60 hw 40 city is around 10km/L. Average speed for city is 50-60km/h, hw is 80-100/h.

 

Lately, I've been traveling 80hw 20 city, mainly in tpe kpe and mce tunnels. Using cruise control at around 85km/h, I can hit 630-650km before fuel light kicks in. Pump about 51-54 L. So it's around 11+ to 12+ km/L. As I need to travel a certain route to and fro daily using the 3 tunnels, I'm too lazy to step on the pedal most of the time so I use cruise control.

 

On both scenarios, there will be occasions of start stop traffice due to road works and accidents... I occasionally also do some spirited driving just for the kick of enjoying my fxt. Haa

Our Forester speedo is reading about 7-8km/h slower when speedo show 100km/h compared to GPS reading (which is more accurate)

So at 85km/h, it is only about 79~80km/h actual speed.

These days I'll be happy if i can hit 450km per tanks~

FC a lot depends on the route you used. If use KPE & MCE a lot, FC will be better, as you are force to drive slower and less aggressive. Traveling there always keep a very constact speed.

Normally I will be travel aound 90km/h+ (No hogging!!) on clear road on KPE or MCE and slow down slightly before camera.
