Generally speaking, if you want uniqueness, u have to sacrifice replacement parts availability.

Rarity of the car (performance car type la. not Proton saga kotak during the 80s) always proportional the the market value of the car.
more rare, more expansive.

If the car more rare, lesser ppl will cater to service the car. Sure will be expensive to maintain in the long run. Economy of scale.
Example: Alfa cars vs proton cars.

So, going back to the question which car i would choose? none....because they look like stationwagon to me.....but i have respect for the grunt of both cars.

Preference for those cars are subjective. Like Accords and Camrys, I love their value for money, design and comfort but I will not own one. Just not my type of car.

Ken's point is valid, the more rare, the more expensive the parts that is.

So it depends what you really want out of the car. Both Airtrek and Foresters have unlimited performance parts. By the way, I assume that you're choosing both cars are because u wanted performance and at the same time, satisfy your family needs. For half cut parts, Airtrek should be more due to Evo's popularity in Malaysia.

More popular mean more demand n part is more expensive...:hmmmm: Subaru part are cheaper then toyota honda... U can find a GC8 STI halfcut under 5K not a 4AGE 6speed or B16B. Old forester share almost all the part with GC8 accept cosmetic, new model same as new age STI most part are interchangable even with nissan. We subaru member have no issue finding part, if any1 can't find part can contact here.mysubaruclub.com • Index page We got 300whp 6speed forester sifu that can solve all your problem n need for speed.:burnout:

BTW.. i drive a legacy BP5 wagon like my signature.. Now detune running ron95 average 6-7km/L on town, 8.+km/L on highway on boost, same as ron97 just less power n cheaper fuel price. On ron97 also can get 290whp..:stupid:(with supported mod)

Running lower ron will not destroy your engine with proper tuning, only your right foot will.

FYI airtrek n foreter is in the SUV segment not wagon.

I'm an Airtrek onwer but I love Forester too. Both cars look great and mascularly macho. So like others said, it's comparing chicken and egg.

Forester, a blue one with gold rims melt my heart!


Airtrek looks superb too.


Haahaa.... best if I can have both in my garage. By the way, these SUV/ala wagon is very practical. Good for family balik kampungs and as well when you're alone, you can have some fun too.
Vote for subaru forrester....:driver:

Very true. At the end of the day, you're the one who drives it around, you're paying every single cent for it. Don't just make decision based on people's liking or popularity.

Both cars are great, powerful and with lotsa upgrades. You won't go wrong in any way.

450km on highway is it? I don't think I can get 450km in city even if I am light footed. Best I can get is 350km. If I am on heat (hehehehe), it will be around 280km. Worst lately was 260km but that's because I did not wash my air filter for 14 months. Now it's back to normal.
What 450km what 350km ?

Correct me if im wrong....

You all are discussing about cars or jets?:confused::confused::confused::wavey:

Maybe in Msia it is not common but in Spore, there are more Subaru's then Evo's. And subaru tend to be more FC friendly. I'm also driving Subaru Legacy GT and i travel from JB to Spore daily (imagine the Kastam jam) and yet i can easily get 8km/L with boost around

While the disappearance of Gemballa’s founder is still unresolved, the company, in name at least, has moved on and is scheduling a press conference to announce relaunching plans under a new Chief Executive Officer.

At this point, the details are not overwhelming but the gist of it is that Gemballa will now be headed by Andreas Schwarz, who has acquired...
