Subaru R2 S

[Mike_abs]

actually i also considering getting a r2 and my gf like it so much too but the thing she is worry that the car might nt go up the slope properly, loaded with four adult. btw i am already 90kg n 180cm le

 

wat u guys think ?

 

i think this car is not a good choice.

when u have more than 2 persons in the car, you have to rev the engine quite a bit to get going. And the engine noise is already quite audible in the first place.

 

[Mike_abs]

The engine revs hard on pick up even though I am particularly light on the gas pedal...

Revs up to about 3,000rpm before the car starts to move off...

Is that considered normal for R2?

 

it is the same for me too. but it is ok once it is already moving.

changing lanes and overtaking on the expressways is not a problem, as long as I have no passengers and I do not do it uphill.

The engine is quite responsive when I floor it during overtaking.

Considering the fact the this car is running on CVT, i think the response is quite good...

 

If you are traveling with family most of the time, don't buy this car. Most of the time, i am the lone driver cum passenger, still manageable.

 

by the way, i could never pump more than $45 at petrol kiosk.....so missed out on shell $50 promotion thingy.......

hmm. . .then it could be a bad choice to me too. currently had coupons for 15% off total shell petrol.

Personally im driving a R1 and till now i have no problem with spare parts, FC is appox 12-13L, unless you are carrying 4 elephants going uphill or taking 1st lane on expressway is ok.

Or anyone know whether the Subaru R2s in the Singapore market are SOHC or DOHC version?

Thanks!
