This beast is finally here in Malaysia.

News is that the early bird promotion is 10k off the price in this advert. Means it is 190k, which is almost exactly the same as the CR-V 2.5 that is launching in June! Pretty sure it isn't a coincidence.

Cool...what colour...mine is Dark Gray....just got my balance payment bill from them today, after my loan was approved earlier this week.

I think mine should be around early or 2nd week of July if I pay up my balance sometime this coming week.

I heard the 1st unit will be registered this Monday or Tuesday.

Hi joker,
Mine is lazy colour, silver colour, the test drive unit colour in MI. Where do you plan to tint your car? Maybe we do it together and it will be cheaper ?

Hahaha..yeah...the silver looks decent even after it is dirty....I owned the previous Forester in Silver as well. SO had to change the colour, otherwise its like I never changed car at all! smile.gif

I am having some plans to do up the car a bit. Plasti-dip spraying over the chrome plastics as I find that they make the car look cheap.

Changing rims and better performance tyres.


If you are interested, we can compare notes smile.gif

Adding on a tuning box to reach 270+BHP and 390+NM torque or thereabouts.

Hi bro,

For now, I would keep the car stock, let me enjoy the honeymoon period with the ori conditions and next, I would try to check if it can push the spec to Japan spec of 280ps...
Now, looking at tinting, leather seat, perhaps glass coating.

Cheers

Not sure if you have seen these videos, but this is the latest in the series of videos made by Subaru by driving the new Forester in various parts of the world. Although these movies are for promoting the Forester and definitely only highlight the plus points, they are very well made and with breathtaking views from all over the world.

Something to bump up your appetite before you get your car in a few weeks time! smile.gif

Do watch the older videos as well, especially the one on the Ring.

Hi joker,
Did you see the vertical LED on the front bumper ? Looks cool. Wonder where can get it.
