Some of my colleagues tot its a lexus or BM when looking at a certain angle. Most don expect the cabin to be spacious.

Haha ikr...certainly a big jump for impreza. So much better.

[Magfocus]

Have to to say its a huge leap compared to its predecessors. Would be just about right with the Levorg's 1.6 DIT

i think price will be different already.. haha..

 

but you are looking at cars in this category then should compare it among its peers. i tried a few and ended up with Impreza even though i find the power slightly inadequate, mainly becoz it's the closer to an all rounder for me.

 

Mazda 3 - nice looking but too cramp, price slightly higher for deluxe model. drive about same as impreza but slightly diff becoz its gearbox is normal AT

Honda civic - nicer looking with rear aircon but too over priced, made in thailand, don't even have basic feature like auto headlight

Toyota altis - didn't even see, wife say uncle

Nissan pulsar - test drove, didn't like the drive, skinny steering wheel and soft brakes.

Hyundai Elantra - didn't see also. don't really dare to go into korean make with the recent sudden acceleration issue. But nice make, not exactly that cheap. feels a bit overpriced for korean make car.

Kia K3 - sat in without test drive. feels plasticky all round. design starts to look dated.

Ford focus - interesting engine, but scare reliability issue. Friend's previous focus just died on the road while turning. anyway didn't want to run into reliability issue hence decided on NA engine instead of turbo charged. 

 

hope this helps.

actually i want to find out, how does the hill hold button work on slope. if i engage the electronic parking brake isn't it the same?

[Kayaloti]

Haha, why worried on all this small small things ? When you collect your ride, enjoy it to the fullest.

Who cares about FC and the rest?

It's the same. It will engage the parking brake for you.

Actually what is STARLINK for huh? We don't have a lot of these features here in Singapore leh.

Maybe the STARLINK can be upgraded with different modules?

By the way, just asking around. Do the tyres need to be rotated? I mean since the car is AWD, the tyres should wear off evenly?

Wah, very good question. Never thought of this before. Lol

[Ozkaki]

yes, still need to rotate because the weight distribution is not the same.  therefore wear and tear also different.

guess the front tyres will wear off faster due to the weight. :)

[Ozkaki]

that's assuming your back pax and luggages are lighter.

I think need cross rotate also. For me stay in HDB, everyday drive up and down the multi-storey carpark, one side will wear out more than the other.

Any owner here can comment FC of this ride?
