2013 SUBARU XV 4D WAGON

By Halim Jiang on 06 Apr 2015

Practicality: 5
Reliability: 5
Running cost: 4
How it drives: 5

I've owned it for 8 months now, with 20,000 km to boot. So I've travelled quite a lot in this car with me behind steering wheel all the time. Great fuel economy, manage to drive it mostly sub 1500RPM (on highway I keep it 100kph at 1700RPM). I live in Jakarta, rated world's worst traffic, still clocking at 8.6 liters of RON95 / 100 km. Great head room, spacious and practical interior, just the right balance of softness and rigidity. I have the utmost driving confidence knowing Symmetrical AWD, boxer engine, low center of gravity, and ring-shape reinforced steel frame, SRS air-bags got me covered from road-grip, agility around the curves, and behavioural precision. Even the hood of most XV competitors are somewhat 6-8 inches higher with 4-inline engine placed assymmetrically, all just tell you know how much driving edge you get from owning a Subaru.
