Dreaming of an SUV

[Fazda]

Looks like three XV models on their site, or am I misunderstanding you?

There are three model variants - Standard Manual, Standard CVT and Premium CVT.

IzZzy could only find ONE for sale in the whole country - and I'm not surprised, as the only "used" ones that we sold since they were launched were the demo vehicles that I drove.

 

[Fazda]

No, I will not have accept that. It is your blind carsist (like racism for cars...) hatred of Jeep, that made you make up stuff :erm:

Ha!

So now I'm a Carsist....:erm: very interesting...

...aaaaaand the latest car magazine just did a wrap-up article of their long term (20,000km) test of the Subaru Forester XS (not the XT) and the average fuel consumption was....

Drum roll please


10.72 l/100km
Best was 7.1, worst was 14.43.

Just face it, they are heavy on fuel.

Love to see their long term test on a Jeep - any Jeep...................

I think everybody will agree Jeeps (especially the Wrangler) is very heavy.

Indeed very few that argue against that. Fortunately there's other brands in the world.

I have always had a problem with the Honda, ever since I drove one at Land Rover Experience near Kyalami and we all managed to get it stuck in EVERY obstacle.

Here's an interesting test on the latest range of small SUV's

I wouldn't be surprised if the Forester has the best AWD system, but that test was not fair. Put the same tyres on all the cars and do it again.

Where was the VW and the Jeep? Clearly this was setup to make the Forester look good.

I have no idea why VW and Jeep weren't there, and why am I not surprised that you are trying to disprove the test.

That's what you took out of my response? Not suprised.
The test results is accurate, but the ask yourself what does it measure. Which tyre is the best? Pretty stupid.

Jeep is amongst the best off-road and would have aced that test, and suddenly it's not only the Forester that passes. I know it's hard, but think for a bit. This test was setup with an agenda to promote the Forester.

 

[Fazda]

Just as your answers are always set up with an agenda to trash it, if at all possible.

Swings both ways.

You are incapable of actually reading the content of the response. Suppose you have to live up to the old fool stereotype. You have standards, after all.

Really? Is my long term test okay for you? Mine was called Mel Gibson, because he was The Patriot.



This was during my first year of ownership... Second year was probably around 11.5 average, because my foot grew heavier. Best was in the 8's and worst was probably around 13's.

So, what now? Is that giving you some satisfaction. Do you feel like you're winning?
