XV is a bit under powered but probably no more so than the 1.8 petrol GD. Trish and I are not big fans of the alloys that come on the XV either. Think they are a bit of a love / hate design of wheel.They are pretty much identical to an Impreza with a bit of cladding and slight increase in ride height. Probably biggest negative with Subaru is the servicing costs. There is also a long running engine issue with Subaru engines when the mileage gets up (discussed on Whirlpool ) that I didn't know of until recently. They get lower reviews than i30 or Camry on product review website. ProductReview.com.au ProductReview.com.au ProductReview.com.au

Don't get the CVT Mick (go the Manual if you get one) The CVT gets heaps of bad reviews in that Product review thread!
