Fuel consumption winner: Subaru Boot space winnder: Subaru Acceleration & Braking winner: nullified as driven by different drivers. Doesn't work this way. Safety winner: Subaru Driving impression winner: Well done. Interior comfort winner: Subaru. Most spacious How about noise level for each car? Frankly, why is there no (light) offroad tests at all? And the most important question for all Malaysians: How's the maintenance for all the cars? Just compare according to manufacturer's manual will do. In all, love your channel, as always. Keep them up guys.
I never bothered to test drive the Subaru due to the high asking price that didn't include a turbocharger. The Honda to me felt somewhat undersprung, which bothered me. However it was an intuitive car to drive as there wasn't much in the way of a learning curve to overcome the electronic trickery to start driving it. You could toss someone the remote and trust them to figure it out by themselves first time out. The Peugeot's ride refinement was the best IMHO, as it was the most car-like. It was satisfyingly firm but never harsh and, together with that panoramic sunroof, it just felt like an altogether more expensive car. But it came across as a more complicated car to drive as there were 3 stalks next to the steering wheel in addition to the paddles. A lot of buttons & switches too, and even to adjust the aircond you first had to figure out the touch-screen display. The conti-style turnsignal and the small steering wheel will also take some getting used to for sure. It seemed like the kind of car I would not let a relative borrow without giving him a pre-drive briefing session first.
I bought a Subaru Forester SK 2.0i - S year 2020 without even touching its body..at the discounted price of RM138k it is the best car I have ever driven overall
The Tiguan wasn't available and the X70 1.5 was not yet launched but that just means we'll have to revisit this idea with a few more candidates in the future.
