I drove 2008 a Japan model Honda Freed CVT 1.5 and renewed the COE for 5 years. And now I feel that I need to trade in for a new car. Who says Honda CVT can't last. I have driven the car for 13 years and the CVT is still going strong. And I abuse it by putting it to Neutral in traffic lights every time and the regular reverse every time I'm doing parking. The key to a long-lasting CVT transmission is regular maintenance. For the 1st 10 years, I change to the original Honda Japan CVT oil every 40K mileage and after 10 years I change it every 20K. And base on that experience describe I decided to stick to the same model a 2022 Honda CVT 1.5G non Hybrid because it's a tad cheaper. My oh my I'm not regretting my decision on the newer model, it's more powerful than my old Freed and definitely beats the Toyota Sienta anytime in power, BHP and of course the looks. Sorry Sienta guys the car really looks like a frog to me so I forgo the Sienta alone just by the looks. Suspension is not the best of course but reasonable enough not to shake you up, to me it's better suspension than Honda Vezel which felt like you're sitting in a wooden car hard and jumpy. I'm intrigued by the Sensing technology so awesome feels like an Autopilot car detects the road lane, sensing the car in front accelerates and deaccelerates by itself to maintain the speed without you even touching the brake and accelerator. So whenever I feel like having fun I'll engage the Sensing. It's not necessary of course but the 2022 model comes in standard. Seat spacing is more spacious than the old 2008 Freed, it's bigger even in the 2 rear seats. Overall I love the car to ferry my family around safely. Not regret it even though I have to pay the high COE.

Owned it since 2019 and till now I am quite happy with the purchase. The car handles beautifully and the interior feels spacious. Was always a Subie fan so the decision was always biased but when I was out in the market and I test drove the cars, the decision was already made after visiting the Subaru at Toa Payoh.

The awesome looking Manly SUV in the road. Always eye catcher, very spacious and loaded with safety features and comfort levels. My next upgrade is 200% this Forester😊😎
