Review
When you sit,it just makes you feel you own and control the car and the road at the same time....Most cars will just give you way all the time and even wave to you .....
What I like
Sunroof ,the feel of the leather and the power to go further than usual with their eye-catching colours...
What I do not like
Nothing.....Love the cosmetics and the internal and external designs

Review
I have read conflicting reviews about the performance of the eboxer engine so I test drove this to determine which reviews were more accurate. In summary, I think that all the reviews were correct - it depends on which baseline the reviewer was comparing the eboxer Forester to.
Compared to the SJ 2.0 NA Forester that I own, the Eboxer seems to lack oomph and agility. It seems to do that only because it is heavier. The weight plant the vehicle more securely to the ground. I find the acceleration more than adequate and overtaking in city traffic does not pose any problem. I would love to test the overtaking at highway speed though.
This car should be on the list of those who wants to see what hybrids can do without having to worry about the extensive electronics and motors that comes with normal hybrids. It does not save a lot of fuel - at least this is what almost all reviewers agree on. But it is a proper SUV which can handle rough terrain. The ride is quiet especially the very few times it went on full EV mode.
I think drivers of previous generations of NA Foresters will have no issue with the performance of this car once they realised that the ride characteristics is influence more by the weight and not by the power of the engine.
Not I gave a 5-star rating on reliability because I need to tick this. - So I used the current SJ Forester which I own as a reference.
What I like
Eyesight features
Large cabin
Rear A/C outlet (small but important improvement)
Solid build
Long list of features
What I do not like
Apple Carplay is an expensive add-on - need to select the GT kit option
No spare tire - only puncture repair kit
Smaller fuel tank than the non-hybrid - not sure if this would be compensated by the less thirsty engine)

Review
Firstly, the exterior is quite general for a SUV but the GT edition looks better with black spoiler and sporty roof fin and skirtings.
Secondly, the interior is very very spacious for the driver and all passengers. Leg rooms are generous. Front seats both automated with memory functions. Apple car play and Android auto enabled. Center Touch screen large enough though sightly reflective under bright conditions. Cabin drawer might be a bit small. All seats cushion are good and comfortable. Good center console with coin tray provided. 3 nos. USB ports provided. Good for 5 adult size passengers. The rear boot is spacious enough for any 4 mid size lugguage. Come with 12V adapter socket for day use of other equipments like vacuum. The tailgate is also automated.
Thirdly, the drive was good and stable . Tested a fast U turned and the car did not.Rolled much. Power is sufficient though it is mild hybrid unless you are a fast and furious driver. Good for family use. Looking forward to see it's fuel efficiency of 20% Saving as it's oil tank is only 48L . Lots of safety features of Eye sight , ACC, RWB, Blind spot warning etc.
In summary, witb the promotional price, it feels worthy of buying with so much safety festures and user friendly setups. However, was told that Casper Green was no stock. . .
What I like
Apple carplay and Android auto.
Thoughtful coin tray.
Interior with leather feel and spacious.
Memory seats.
Chrome handles.
Display size just nice.
Stable drive with min. roll
Eye sight and other safety features.
Some Fuel saving only as it is mild hybrid.
Knees airbags sys for front passenger and driver.
GT version.
Minimal.blind spots.
Sun/moon roof retractable.
What I do not like
Dash Drawer too small.
Rear USB flap flimsy.
No digital gauges.
Additional cost for GT version. Abt 2.9k.
Door slots pockets small.
No scuff plate for rear trunk bumper.
Most stable car I've owned. | Posted on 26 Mar 2020 | |

I will post more comments after driving for a period of time.
What I like

rear A/C
spacious
Memory Seats
What I do not like

Great car, value for money, feature rich. Highly recommended for anyone looking for mid-large size SUV.
What I like
Adaptive cruise control, anti collision braking, auto tailgate, keyless entry.
What I do not like
Cannot get the specified 6.7 milage, averaging 9.1 for me. Sound system speakers not fantastic, especially back speakers very soft can hardly hear.
