Takes a longer time to be familiar with it, best suited to use when cruising on highways.ħ. The Eye-sight system is not fantastic in spite of all the advertisement.

The auto start-stop system is annoying so switch it off most of the time.Ħ. The Motor Image version lack the Sun Roof, feel a bit cheated. I had to do after sales sound proofing otherwise quite unbearable.Ĥ. Road noise very high, especially coming from the tires. Speaker system is inferior, so I had to upgrade it locally.ģ. Start up of the Head Unit system very slow and had to wait several minutues before the Navigation system gets ready.Ģ. I think Insurance is cheaper because of Eye-sight system.ġ. It's a small SUV so feel light at the steering.ĥ. Interior improvement is good and leather seats is impressive but very soft.Ĥ. External design of the XV 2018 is good looking but the Motor Image version lack the sun roof.ģ. But not the pick up as the torque is only 198 Nm and 153 Bhp.Ģ. It has the familiar engine roar like my Subaru 2.0XT, 2014 (which I sold earlier this year). I got mine because COE was low, so don't let the low COE affect our decision.ġ. So think again before you take the plunge. I could have gone for the 2017 Forester 2.0i-s, it's much better equipped. This is only my first month owning the car, so I will review it after 10,000km. The Forester 2.0i could have been a better buy on hindsight. I like the car, but I may not recommend it to a friend. Got my XV in August 2018, 3 days after registration.
