2013 Subaru XV

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

The XV is much more capable "offroad" than the Impreza and almost 9" off the ground.
The XV also has factory backup camera, 7 airbags, paddle shifters, built in bluetooth etc - the value goes up.

Should be great for trekking through a rally stage

An evo too. :/

not MY evo!
lowered tarmac suspension on taska road = no no

i wonder how the upcoming CX5 will fare against it

Just saw the CX-5 on display at Price Plaza. It's a nice looking vehicle but the price is ~$379,000 for the 2WD and ~$440,000 for the 4WD.

Was going to get one of these but it looks like it's the CX7 for me instead, still need to check it out though, the price is probably justifiable.

^ don't think Southern Sales are stocking the CX-7 and the CX-9 again.
They have CX-5 in stock right now

but anyway your logic bewilders me.
The CX-5 is expensive, so you decide to get something more expensive instead?

[Rx]

hmmm.. now seeing this..

won't mind taking it for a long term test run

Value for money though, the CX5 is in the class of the Tucson and the Sportage.
Why pay that much more for a vehicle in the same class when you can get one in the class of the Santa Fe and the Sorento, also the last CX-7 price I got was around 400k - didn't know they stopped stocking them though. They had up to December.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Doubt it would still be only $400 too

[nervewrecker]

Nobody asking the important questions:

What size alternator it comes with? how much head room does it have?

&

How much 15" subwoofers can you fit in there?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ important to whom? the owner's son?

[nervewrecker]

plz adopt me

[EXODUS]

ppl stil debatin dis XV? wud be much easier if an actual owner of 1 cud enlighten us abt the VX as compared to an Xtrail, Touareg, ASX

[DVSTT]

I rather the ASX. IMO it looks way better. Has a 2.0l petrol, paddle shifters AWD optional 700w rockford fosgate system etc and its starting at less than 300k.

[tr1ad]

those features you mentioned are not on the base model
install them and watch the price go up

[Stephon.]

gf has the asx which I drive from time to time, it's a nice vehicle but I don't think it's worth it, she has the leather package, it isn't even 4x4 or diesel, and it is more expensive to service than my Grand Vitara which was a 4x4, first service was around 1200 dollars and the last service @ 20k was around 3500 dollars according to her. Nice handling and more room than you would expect though. At the end of the day, value for money with the asx is non existent

[DVSTT]

those features you mentioned are not on the base model
install them and watch the price go up

But it was starting at 269k so it has a good 45k before it reaches the price of the xv

[Dutty_S]

the ASX is an attractive vehicle, and if we did get an awd diesel version, i'd definitely consider it.

but the fact it is not awd or 4 x 4, and for the price, that is a deal breaker for me.

[worksux101]

hmm XV vs fully loaded diesel 4x4 sportage...thoughts anyone?

[aidan]

Suzuki SX4 > all crossovers

zuki ftw

But it was starting at 269k so it has a good 45k before it reaches the price of the xv

so by your logic, a fwd, a basic one at that,
would justify a 30k+ difference on a awd larger vehicle purchase?

if you like the asx and want one just say so... it's your money
no logic in justifying what's better value for dollar as everyone entitled to their own choice

for me subaru has a more reliable reputation... better than a mazda, mitsubishi (except pajero), hyundai in the suv line up
