Every good price. 2.0S or 2.0i trim?

[Wai437]

@Rayleigh, was the 2.0i-s

Hi  Folks, 
    new driver , new car here
    very excited join the subaru forester community

[helired]

need help folks! in the parking lot, shift "P" to "D" or "R" mode, if ground has incline and not even, the car move forward a bit then stuck, means totally stop. I need depress gas pedal a bit to move out the parking lot. I tested on even ground , no such problem is it normal?

Subaru only turbo is good.

Hybrid can forget about it.

Cannot add on to your comment after reading this 😞

"With this combination, you probably expect a nice power bump. But at 156bhp and 188Nm of torque, it makes 3bhp more, but 7Nm less than its petrol-powered sibling"

Cheers,

Richard

don't think it really adds up that way.... the batt is supposed to have abt 13bhp if I remember correctly? also it should be 250Nm cannot be 188Nm lah... even petrol 2L has 200Nm. the 50Nm bump is useful. but in most reviews the petrol consumption would reduce significantly since batt capacity is small unlike the PHEV version in US

the interesting thing is how did they add the rear 2pot caliper? since it's difficult to do with the electronic brake.... or did they remove the e-brake? I took some pics but can't tell... even pro-Subaru workshops didn't really wanna tinker with rear brake for the newer Subarus...

GT edition - if anyone considering between this and a non-GT version, just take note also that the GT rims are actually flushed with the car body compared to normal version which are about 1" inside fender. flush looks nicer (though of cos more prone to kerb rash since car effectively wider where it can contact 😂)

seems like GT rim is wider though still riding on same tyre model (which is quite good really, Bridgestone DUELER H/P Sports)

GT edition looks nice, but still has the disappointing and lethargic 2.0L engine, which makes the car anything but a GT, beyond just the name.

Subaru's marketing strategy is so popular even overseas people are making Youtube videos about it...

Hi, I have been driving a Forester since Sep2019. I have encountered 2 periods of time when white smoke come out of the exhaust in the morning on cold start. First period was about Dec2019, for a week but not everyday. And now, for the past 2weeks, it's everyday. I have sent in the car twice and both times, the staff explained that it is due to water condensation. I am concern because the occurrence is now daily and the white smoke last for more than 5mins. May I know if any one has similar experience? Thanks

only in the morning cold start? check your coolant if there is engine oil inside.

Yes, only morning cold start. I have been checking each time I start the car, at different time of the day, for the last 2 weeks.

I am not quite sure where is the coolant, although I have some idea. *paiseh* But I will check.

Thanks

i've seen white smoke coming out of the forester exhaust in the mornings, both in the carpark on on the roads.

pretty new car too with SMK carplate.
