Not really a fan of mazda in general, it seems everything is made to look like the madza 6 because it was made popular by teenage hair dressers.

Fuarrk. How much do you pay for a haircut?!

Nothing wrong with the Mazda6. Decent product for a large front wheeling shopping trolley.

Diesel XV? LOL. Offroading Subarus don't work very well. Softroading, they're OK, but they're far from the end all/be all.

Pity the XV/Impreza is no oil painting. Still hasn't grown on me.

where is the XV built does anyone know?

The first digit of the VIN will answer this.

The foul pits of some kind of hell, in an alternate universe where everything starts at the top of the ugly tree and hits every branch on the way down.

[Forester 2.5i S]

Australian XV are built in Japan
And great choice a XV S in white and CVT hmmm
And no XV DONT LACK POWER just need to run then in (5000 km ) and then all hell is released lol
Very fun car to drive I don't miss my old Forester XT
Love the techno the XV has has a info display which tells you EVERYTHING love it
And they look awesome

Here s latest pic if mine

My dad is actually saying the same thing about it loosening up after some k's! he was actually worried about it when he first got it!

[mark300]

the only thing i dont like about the XV's is those rims. ive tried to like them but just cant, apart from that i really like them.

[Forester 2.5i S]

I was the same
First thing I wanted to do was a wheel change
BUT NOW I LOVE THEM a XV isn't a XV without them they make it stand out Nd are soooo easy to keep clean

None, I cut my own hair for this reason, they bump up the price to pay for their over priced kinda nice looking mazda 6s.

Is this always the case the first letter means the country? I'm expecting a J?

HAHAHAH I agree its not for everyone and I consider my self to like a more classic and not so standoutish car but for some reason it just grey on me, I must admit I'm still not a huge fan of the rear of the car (same for the impreza) but the wheels which I hated have really grown on me and I wont be replacing them (mainly because I will have to pay to do that lol)

Nice car man, did you order the front driving light covers, rear fog light covers from ebay? Also the silverish back bash plate thing?

Do you have to limit the revs for the first 5,000kms? Does it really start to loosen up after 5,000 and go better? Honestly?

[Alex]

Most new cars, Subaru inclusive, have a recommended run in procedure to bed in parts.

I highly recommend you follow it, else you'll have all sorts of dramas a little further down the track.


So after investing a reasonable sum of money, it's kind of expected the looks would grow on you.

Like a tumour.

Good thing the car has positives. I assume reliability (we'll see what the new series boxer engines are like, but more often than not, Subaru engines are decent) and there is some practicality in there too.

[XV?]

Yeah it was the ride height and features like cruise control, stop start, sweet auto, price, gps etc that made me want to buy it not its looks. But I do like the look of it from the front or the side. I haven't bought it and will be leasing it so after 3 years will get a new one.

I actually drove from syd to Qld towing a camper trailer at the end on my 5000 km , but man she drives harder now and where it used to take 1/4 of a tank in my Forester XT it takes 1 bar ( 3 bars is 1/4 tank) in myXV
