Anyone own a forrester XT? If so, is it normal that when you are on sports Plus mode and you hit like 160 km/hr for say 8 secs there is this faint burnt odor or smell similar to the odor of kinukulot yung hair in a beauty salon? Anyone with similar experiences?

 

 

If your car is using CVT transmission it is ok. if nabatak na eto you the smell will no longer appear kahit ibabad mo pa longger than 8 secs

Uy Thank you sa reply. The forrester XT has 3 modes, the fastest is sports sharp mode. You press the button and the throttle daw really opens up so you can experience a great burst of speed. Yun nga lang tuwing mga 150 to 160 and mga more than 6 seconds or mga 8 seconds may faint smell of kinukulot sa parlor. Just wondering if this is normal for all forresters.

any feedback on the new wrx sti?

I have not driven the new one yet pero eto ang masasabi ko sa STI. Palitan niyo na ang EJ25. Way back in 2006 my Subaru sti can keep up with a Porsche turbo sa straits. pero ang problema sa Subaru hindi na sila nag upgrade ng engine. Hanggang ngayon pareho pa din ang makina ej25 pa din. kaya ngayon the Subary sti is lucky to keep up with a Cayman S.

 

SInce 2004 , Subaru has been giving us the EJ25, di ba nila kaya mag upgrade. currently the ej25 produces 305hp. now the Mercedes 2.0 liter amg produces a whopping 360hp. mas maliit ang displacement pero mas malakas. Ford 2.3l eco boost produces 310hp!! Sure Subaru loyalist( I used to be a Subaru owner) would say, ECU tuning lang kaya na din umabot ng 360hp. pero ang tanong, kaya ba I guarantee ng tuner mo na hindi masisira makina kung binabad mo ang accelerator? ang daming STi ang nasira gawa ng tuning na iyan. and kung kaya talaga na 360hp ang makina eh bakit di na lang ilabas ng Subaru na 360hp ang engine.

 

Subaru STI department, shame on you. we are sick and tired of your ej25 engine. supot na kumpara sa mga bagong makina

Fusion R along E. Rod. Look for Oliver.

Thumbs up for fusion r. There is a gentlemen there that you can hire to check your car's readings. Things you dont normally feel is broken or will break soon, makikita nya. May fee nga lang pero worth it

Hi,

 

Have a friend with subaru sti ( new model), he have some problem with the bearings after running less than 3500km. According to him, new models are not good compared to the previous models. He also wrote to japan concerning about the issues and at the same time consulted with a friend in US and australia. According to him, same problems was found in US and Australia din. He is very disappointed with the new models of subaru now.
