Subaru XV "particularly valuable instance." Subaru XV: Fearless "Ishwashka Subaru Iks Vi

First about choosing. I chose the car for a long time, went over, probably all the options that were suitable for planned money and the necessary characteristics. Now more.

The first on the test was Mazda CX-5. I liked the car: Spacious interior, you sit high, the panel is pleasant to the touch. However, on the turns, the car seemed a little roller and upset what's on the bumps (the dealer was brought to the private sector to show off-road capabilities of the car on the primer and in the bouanes) in the suspension something deeply bryakalo. The dealer said that you need to look in what the problem. They say, everyone on the test car is trying to drive, and it is possible that something in it could be broken.

All the way back was driving very carefully, so as not to be accused of a bad attitude to a test car. For this dealer, I was even thanked on arrival in the salon. Off-road capabilities that we have time to check did not inspire.

I myself live outside the city, and this is a purely urban car, which can take a hill in the snow and climb into a low border. Even on a shallow snow, the machine begins to go out and sit down. I was pleased with the flow (although I pressed on the test on gas). On the scoreboard showed only 9.8 liters.

The price of the car at the time of inspection was 1 210,000 rubles. In the package 17-inch discs, rag salon, four-wheel drive, Light and rain sensors, as well as some nice things that, in my opinion, are not at all necessary for the car.

Next, according to the plan was Hyundai IX35. I gathered for a test due to the fact that the car was very advertised on TV and was concerned about billboards in the city. In sensations, when you pass even on the smallest cracks in the asphalt, your spine is scattered in the pants. Very rigid adjustment of the suspension, and something somewhere embroidered and hooked.

The panel seemed to have some kind of toy, which is characteristic of most Koreans. The dealer said that in the database there is a built-in Sab, which means you can shake in the car loudly listening to music. In the snow, too, nothing impressive car showed. The price for this instance was 1,180,000 rubles.

The third car was Honda CR-V. She liked. It goes smoothly, and feel like you are going on a sedan. Smooth floor big trunk, pleasant velor armchairs, but pushed the fact that because of the even gender on the bottom of the car grew up the belly, which it strives to cling to something. Well, the price tag was not very pleased. For a 2.0-liter engine and an automatic asked 1,400,000 rubles.

And finally, Subaru's salon. Before the test drive traveled from a comrade on Fox Imprection with a 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 160 hp and mechanical transmission. At night and in the morning there was snow, and 20-25 cm attacked. I told him that we would not leave the garage, but he grinned. It would seem that the low machine (clearance of 155 mm), but we broke through, pushing with a bumper of raw snow. I thought that if the Impreza rides the snow, then the car is higher and will not get stuck.

Impression

On the test Subaru. XV came with his wife when the snow was on the street. On the roads were drifts, snow rights and porridge in places where reagents were sprinkled. Just once check the car in combat conditions. I will say right away that disappointed noise insulation, which is practically no. Noise in the arches when driving through the caress indescribable. On the bad road Something constantly tapping and shaking.

Salon in Subaru KH seemed rustling, but was well made. Seats are comfortable, the mirrors are large, the review is good. Began to ask the manager, why there is no Shumkov, why the shelf creaks and so on. He answered me in such a way that I even took a little taken away: "Well, you came here not for this, but for how the machine rides. So let's see."

And we looked! Perhaps a bit disturbing traffic rules (it is very bad), we traveled around the city as I wanted. It was the morning of the weekend, and there were few cars on the roads.

I drove into the unclean yard, climbed into the border without problems. Rather, one problem was: if at the same time devoid with two wheels into a high curb, then the car does not go at all. The manager said that it was done to save the box from overloads. If you storm the border with one wheel, then everything is fine.

The caress is also going well, and with the disabled ESP is generally wonderful. At speeds in turns on the unclean road, the car enters confidently, and there is no feeling that we lose control over the road.

Suspension on Sybaru XV is hard and elastic, but not as if IX35, so riding comfortable. I moved from asphalt to the private sector, drove into some impasse. Snow on the knee, turn off the ESP and translate the box to manual mode - went.

We drove, turned around, and I looked at the rut that was protusive. Here I understood that such a car I need a car! Neither Mazda, nor Hyundai, nor Honda to where we arrived - you would not get!

Yes, the car has its own minuses. For example, a smaller trunk, a rustic design inside (you quickly get used to it) and there are no some options that are present from competitors. But outside the car looks aggressively and muscular. Powerful body, high lumen and wheels, like Forester!

Auto white itself, and side skirts - black. They perfectly complement the SUBARU XV off-road design. For disks, thanks to the car developers. On disks, you can immediately understand what kind of car in front of you.

Consumption also pleases. On the highway at a speed of 100-120 km / h, it holds around 7.6-8.0 liters. If you ride calmly (as my spouse), then the flow rate is at all lowered to 7.2 liters. In the city above 10.5 liters never raised. The mixed is obtained 9.2-9.6 liters (depending on the warming of the machine).

To the Variator Subaru XV used to quickly. It looks like acceleration trolleybus. Without twigs and chips inherent machine. About his reliability they say a lot, but I still have to judge early - we will check!

Made the zero and put the engine protection. All together cost 9,800 rubles, of which 4,500 are protection with the installation.

Outcome

In general, the car pleases, and claims to it that would make think about changing the car, I do not have. That's all. Good luck on the roads!

Wise say: everything is known in comparison. But for some reason, forget to clarify that for the benefit of the psyche to compare and not everyone should know. Simple example: Cost basic configuration Subaru XV is 1,599,900 rubles. Lot? Compared with competitors - quite a few. But if a little bit in history and compare with what happened quite recently, it becomes painful. Indeed, in the summer of 2014, for the same amount, it was possible to buy another SUBARU model. Are you just comfortable? It was a WRX sedan.

Yes, the very wonderful WRX current, fourth generation. With a wonderful 268-strong turbo engine and chassis, almost not inferior Hardcore WRX STI. And now, it means that XV for the same money. Well, we turn on the imagination and begin to look for positive moments. Koi, in essence, quite a few.

After all, the platform for cars is general, and the design of similar (the front doors are generally the same), and the same two-liter opposite Motor under the hood costs. What do you say? Without a turbine? So without it, even better: and gasoline consumption is lower, and the gasoline itself can be pouring the 95th, and the chances of running into fines at 150 horse power less. In general, solid advantages.

And if seriously, all this is sad. For such a sum, today you can find with a dozen crossovers, which will be larger, and more powerful, and better equipped. But let the Russian office of Subaru and admits that he lives now almost on one "Forester", no one even thinks to clean the XV from the prices. To us even came his updated version.

Previously, XV could be bought with 1.6 engine, but now only a two-liter unit remained in the ranks. The idea of \u200b\u200bgiving a million with an extra charge with acceleration to hundreds in 13.7 seconds did not support the public.

In fact, we received a new XV first in the world, only no one is guessing about it. This is how it happened: at the end of last year, a limited Active Edition series was made on sale, made specifically for Russia. Outside this "Dorestayl", but on the technique and the interior - an accurate copy of the update. After a couple of years, such "transitional" models will certainly be in honor of the cheated subarists. Exclusive! Collectible value! Hostess: Several last copies are still languishing from dealers ...

The same, to whom only the search expenditure, in addition to internal improvements (about them below) will get and some external. This is updated front bumperidentify which is possible by chrome-plated L-shaped sections, slightly modified headlights, "transparent" rear lightsborrowed from hybrid modification lengthened rear spoiler and other disks. And for girls (and free from prejudice boys), a pretty blue color is prepared.

In short, the new clothes are not thrown into the eyes. If you could define all these changes in photos and without tips, then you are an employee of Subaru. Well, since you are an employee of Subaru, then you probably know that the cabin has changed even more seriously. The main thing is in the case.

Farewell, ancient wretched multimedian, bought at the Gorbushka in 1998! Hello new, beautiful, touch buttons and seven inches diagonally. This system is already familiar to the Russians on the current generation of Outback and there are no questions: the photo is cool, the speed is adequate, there is "swipe" and multitouch, voice controlSupport for third-party applications and other joys.

The steering wheel of XV is also new and also from the "outback": with recomposed buttons, hole in the lower needle and with tides in places of grip. A large color display appeared on the instrument shield (guess which subaru from which model), and the drawers changed the graphics. Ventilation deflectors circled chrome, decorative dies made more cute, and in all leather surfaces, mischievous orange line were launched. In the XV palette there is a similar color of the body, in combination with which it looks great. The problem is that the choice of any other option coloring of the body, these threads will not be less orange.

This, however, already quit. The salon unequivocally became elegant, and with convenience and before there were no problems: Subaru can scold for anything, but not for landing or ergonomics.

And, clear case, not for setting the chassis. XV perfectly listened to the steering wheel, almost does not roll, holds firmly behind the trajectory - and all this is the complete impenetration of harsh suspension. So it was before the update, and now it became a little even better: the springs and shock absorbers changed, the electric grinder was reconfigured. As a result, there are fewer blows to the salon, and on a speed direct machine is more confident. Comfort still won't call it, but with such energy intensity and manageability, it is not better to require something more - not smarter than to compose to the inability of a submarine fly.

Such a chassis - yes the motor is becoming! Although no, then it would turn out the "lift" WRX, for the sake of buying which you would have to sell your favorite grandmother. So it is better to stay at a 150-strong two-liter oppositor, in combination with a variator, which disperses XV to a hundred in 10.7 seconds. Not very quickly, but it will come down: in the city, the sensation of the dynamics is enhanced due to the sharp (sometimes to nervousness) responses to the accelerator, and the overtaking highway in the range of up to 120 kilometers per hour can be started without a previously written testament.

Cheerfully jumping on the cafeteria and crawl on a moderate offrope. The car did not extend: the short sinks are helping, flat belly, 220 millimeters of air under it and permanent four-wheel drive with competent imitation of interclace blocking. XV, of course, no off-road, but the crossover is very capable.

Some radical changes with force aggregate It did not happen, but engineering guits from Subaru would not be themselves, do not twist them somewhat smaller. In the engine and transmission slightly reduced losses for friction, plus the START / STOP system appeared - as a result, the fuel consumption fell by 0.8-1.4 l / 100 km depending on the operating conditions. In any case, according to the passport. We had the real kill in St. Petersburg traffic jams at 12-13 liters per hundred instead of declared 9.1.

But the modified "Shumka" really feels: in the front doors there are now thicker glasses, the engine shield and the front of the floor were laid with additional materials - it really became quieter. Quieter than it was and than in competitors like Mitsubishi Outlander. or Toyota RAV4.

Although there is no word about competitors. When exactly four years ago XV only went to our market, all the choir told: what are they counting on in Subaru, selling the backward hatchback with a tiny 310-liter trunk at the price of an "adult" crossover? Since then, there have already been 13,518 replies on this question, which means that the car has its own audience. And everything should be good. It remains to throw out the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat she is now like WRX.

Hard suspension, easy course, that's what I want to say about XV. Well, the handling is above all praise. The speed is dialing powerfully and keeps healthy. Steering wheel when you take to one hundred per hour, heavy, clear. More than a hundred people did not strongly, there is already rushing weaker, but it is well - disciplined. It stands on the track as the albele, the rolls in my memory was not in principle. Two-liter engine, I think optimal for this machine. Miscellaneous is said - that 150 horses are not enough, which is strangled. I do not agree. Before the impedition went, I will say that the XV is the same, only better. It was pleasantly surprised by the panel, all soft, many notice that for "Subaru" this is the step forward. On the cabin. All in places, without frills and special beauties, as usual, in general. But comfortable. Claims - to the assembly, scrupted the panel, and the doors, but it seems to be simple. Eliminated under warranty, now everything is OK. As for the consumption: the oil does not eat, keeps on a centimeter with a penny above the level, so I don't know what the problem is, as they say. Gasoline - approximately 12-13, does not confuse, norms. Still in the passability, I will say that there are no dancing and wiliations on the sand - it goes like the autobahn. For me, this is a great joy - often you have to ride in the sand. From the flaws, I also note that the heat heating in the cold happens, tupit, and sit while you are gentle, the time will pass. In short, not an orthopedic driver's seat. There are no complaints from the passengers, everything is comfortable. Third on rear seat If you take, already in the car it is felt, by the way. But the small rear in child chair It does not respond to the pits at all, we check the course on uneven roads. Like the rearview camera, only throws her mud actively. Well, about the trunk I will say that it is not ice - a little, for me at least. Appearance... When they say "to an amateur", I do not argue, but in my opinion, soon on the unfair - in the sense that it looks restrained and cool. Car standingI summarize.

All photo session

Motor is far from Beshum. When heating, which lasts a lot of minutes, he caresses noticeably even on idlingwhich at this point only almost reach the mark in 2000 rpm! And this is the engine that, according to the passport, corresponds to euro-5 eco-econors? Hard to believe. But on the move noise at 2000 rpm It is unlikely to penetrate into the salon. But at 3000 rpm and above it is already noticeable. True, also pleasant - with sports notes!

The perfectly tuned steering wheel makes about 2.7 turns from the stop until it stops. A noticeable effort occurs on it even at low speeds. The crossover follows the landscale very clearly, although it is not perfect on a straight line, requires the course correction. It is better to do it on the gentle arcs, even better - on the steep. Known to me "Called" turn with a speed limit of 50 km / h We are passing, having speed per hundred. It seems that the rear axle "pulls up" the stern outside, and it is not difficult: even in normal conditions, the all-wheel drive transmission "translines" 40 percent of the moment. On dry asphalt, it delivers exceptionally pleasure.

On the solid ground is the same. But barely on the primer, traces of recent rain and melting snow appear, the picture changes not for the better. The moment breaks the rear wheels unexpectedly and, how to say, hard! Moreover, not under the influence of the course of the course, just when adding gas. To the car's honor, the insuring electronics is unwritten in time and prevents overclocking, and with it and further demolition. But the "precipitate" remains.

In addition, when braking on slippery coatings, ABS too much "dismisses" the car. He literally sails forward along wet clay, although, honestly, it retains a straightforward course. Strange. Modern ABS modifications, by driver's feelings, as they like the slightest "hooks" on the ground, try to slow down the car using them. And here is just a uniform dynamic of the device and pop-up in the memory of the phrase "ABS does not reduce the braking path." It would be interesting to try the cut cutting on the XV on the rolled snow ...

Such a possibility of November weather does not provide us, but a little snow porridge on the M9 track we "bubble". And I can not say that the car was pleased with reliable following the course at speed. In any case, I didn't want to accelerate further. Again, back to his electronic "stuffing". On the top display on the torpedo, you can withdraw the torque distribution diagram over the axes. It looks like this picture is very optimistic: the arrows lead to each of the wheels. But is it always that? Whatever I have done to the car, this diagram has not changed. Neither in braking, nor when overclocked on the slippery surface with the demolition of the rear axle. I can not navigate towards competitors: many of them have such electronic pictures disagree with the "mechanical" reality, but the distribution of the moment is changing virtue. And here - no.

"X" remains unknown

To make sure that the redistribution of the moment occurs, I save the car to the ground ring and turn on the X-MODE mode. At first, we take a carefully, but gradually picking up speed, more and more rejoicing: the crossover is screwed into the coolest rotation, and the stabilization system corrects my actions, strangling the engine for a few moments ... And now you can continue acceleration in a straight line. How good! In the bundle of such turns XV, if not with the Olympic tranquility, then accurately with the workshop of confidence. Unfortunately, in my disposal only one of this circle.

Well, in this case, the electronics can be praised, ... And if you try to do without it? Will clean "mechanics" work? Unfortunately no. Control the car in turn becomes extremely difficult, almost impossible. The rear axle is of too effectively seeking "outward", threshing. Perhaps, after a few workouts, you can learn how to control the slide and direct the crossover to the planned target. My colleagues confirm: Indeed, on the site, the car slides all four, and it is fascinating. But, first, in my disposal is not a playground, but a ring. And secondly, not sure what execution this maneuver Applicable on the road common use. Imagine, in order to pass the street turn, you are preventive, in a few meters provoke a car for a turn and further movement "Lagom". How will other participants in the movement be treated?

With the support of electronics relative calm even on slipping road You are guaranteed. XV obedient and accurate in the reaction. I liked it, and you can disable electronic "support" somewhere in nature.

True, Nature more often provides us with non-smooth sites, convenient for drift, and different kinds off-road. So with the XV for leaving for a photociety - the bank of the river - I had to overcome a couple of mud. What did you manage to detect?

The first is the car instead of moving at four points with ease begins to balance on three, and then on two. He is very small in the moves of the suspension, and the diagonal hanging on steep gears does not make himself wait. It should not be frightened. Keep smooth "gas", and the full drive system will cope with the situation. The control of traction can be turned off, and leave the included nor negative, nor positive role will play.

Second - claimed ground clearance The Japanese crossover is 220 mm. But it somehow little like the truth. On significant ground irregularities or in deep row The car is "sitting" on the bottom or rests on the "lip" bumper. But if there are relatively smooth dirt under the wheels, it moves along it with enviable persistence. I find a ripple branches in a ripple, apparently, someone happened here to bother, the test subaru does not demonstrate and a hint of such a danger. Crawling yourself, noticeably "picking up" the rear axle. And this is despite the fact that on the wheels of him - summer highway tires. Not even winter.

What impression has learned from the updated XV? Much more pleasant than the opposite, but, in fact, it was "impression on the contrary." I confess, I expected that I finally approach the understanding of the features of SUBARU models, feeling the signature "CIMES" - special handling, sports "roots". But it seems that I still have to do it, and in the case of XV, I met a real, one hundred percent crossover, a car designed for both rapidly confident movement in smooth primers and to overcome the off-road category "Light". Of course, his moves of the pendants are behind the competitors, but few of the latter are capable of moving with him in controllability. And now also in the electronic "stuffing". It is not flawless, however, on the idea, all the devices are interesting. And the claims caused not so much their work as its display, indication. I think this is a corrected business. FROM software Conduct, perhaps easier than with the settings of the suspension and the chassis. And with this new XV everything is in order. At least at the level of those "civilian" subaru, which visited our tests.

Subaru XV is a compact crossover of the Japanese automotive industry SUBARU, manufactured since 2011. It has always been a special attitude to the cars of this brand, since the manufacturer from Japan, like no other, seeks to use and develop their own developments, thanks to which, each model is most special and unlike others. In addition, Subaru remained the only manufacturer, the car whom the same confidently feel like on an asphalt road and beyond. Today we will talk about weak places and disadvantages of Subaru. The XV of the first generation, which will be less like to know each potential buyer before buying.

What to pay attention to the purchase of Subaru XV with mileage on the secondary market

Body:

LCP - Enamel, which is painted by the body of a car of rather mediocre quality, which is why it is bad opposed to external influences (easily scratched and carries). However, given the small age of the car, there should be no significant problems.

Body iron - Body panels are made of rather thin metal. This troubles often leads to the fact that when the stones come from under the wheels of the counter transport, dents remain.

Corrosion - Most copies of significant problems presented on the "secondary" of significant problems with the corrosion resistance of the body today is not. Over time in open areas of metal (chip), some elements exhaust system And there may be minor corrosion foci, which most of them have a cosmetic character. Also traces of rust can be detected under the seals installed under the hood.

Window glass - Poor opposed to external influences (internships with chips, rubs, cracks).

Fog - The main problem is not with the headlights themselves, but with their protective plastic (after long work of the headlights melted inner side, when driving, cracks appear on the heated plastic moisture).

Others trouble - The glass of the trunk lid and thresholds are very dirty.

Weak Points of Opposite Motors

Petrol aggregates - Refer to the FB series and have similar design, as a result, they are identical. In the TRG drive of both engines, the timing chain works (about 200,000 km resource). The main disadvantage of these engines is increased flow Oils from the first mileage kilometers. Especially acute this problem is felt at a 2-liter engine (after the first hundreds of thousands of running, consumption can reach 200 grams per 1000 km). Most often, the reason for the "Mouse" is the presence of a defect in the cylinder block, which over time provokes the appearance of a nagar in the piston grooves, climbing the rings (the problem was eliminated after 2014). Eliminate diseases can only be replaced by a block of cylinders assembly (short block). It is worth noting the sensitivity of the aggregates to the quality of oil. So, for example, when using non-original lubricants Prematurely fail the phase regulators, can also be checked skeeping inserts. Operation with low oil level often leads to the non-repaid repair of the AVCS system (manages the phases of gas distribution).

Another common illness is the increased noise of the unit operation when starting a cold engine (DRINK) or during its work after heating. The first trouble is most often caused by the unsatisfactory state of the tensioner of the timing chain. The second is the failure of the system valve active control AVCS valves (attached to graduation and intake camshafts), low rigidity piston rings (With heating, the skirts of the pistons begin to get to the walls of the cylinders) and the stretching of the chain of the gas distribution mechanism. Often brings and the oil level sensor (issues untold data). In addition, you need to constantly monitor the condition of the cooling system, since these engines are very afraid of overheating.

To less common ailments, the unstable operation of the engine at idle is unstable (choke cleaning is required), the starter problem is required (the starter cleaning is required, if it does not help, you will have to update the firmware of the engine control unit) and the destruction of the catalyst (painfully transfers the use of "bady" gasoline).

Diesel motor - Only European versions of Subaru XV were equipped with this type of engine. By itself, the engine is not bad, however, in our realities it looks less preferable than petrol aggregates. The main problem is sensitivity fuel equipment To the quality of the fuel, which we, unfortunately, does not reach European standards. When using low-quality diesel fuel, the nozzle service is reduced, pump high pressure (TNLD) and EGR valve. The turbine and exhaust cleaning systems are also quite problematic. Of the less common troubles, the appearance of deformations of the head of the pistons in the 1st and 3rd cylinder can be distinguished. Another reason for the abandon from the car with such a motor is the complexity and high cost of its maintenance, and repair.

Transmission

Mechanics - Mechanical transmissions are quite successful aggregates and during due operation do not deliver extra problems to their owners for 300-350 thousand km, after these or other damage caused by the natural wear of the transmission parts may occur. At cars S. petrol engines Clutch, with medium loads, withstands about 150,000 km. But U. diesel cars Its resource is significantly less (on average, 80-120 thousand km serves). Also, in machines working on heavy fuel, once every 150-200 thousand km have to change the cheap two-mask flywheel.

Automatic - A stereo variator Lineartronic is applied by car company Subaru.. The frequency of operation of the car with such a type of transmission largely depends on the quality and intervals of the service. However, it is worth noting that even with proper care, the first significant repair is needed on mileage 200-250 thousand km (the chain and cones are required). Often, the cause of the service becomes the destruction of the leading shaft bearing. Relatively quickly in the variator, frictional friction and transfer packages are burning. With untimely maintenance, wear elements wear products will accelerate the wear of solenoids and hydroblock. It is worth noting that unreasonable replacement The latter, often leads to the failure of the KP elements that provide lubricant chain and cones. Repair of the variator in this case costs a minimum of 1000 USD.

Full drive unit - Subaru XV has a permanent four-wheel drive, in which, depending on the type of gearbox, parameters and configuration will differ. So, for example, in a car with mechanical box Transmissions, the all-wheel drive system is implemented by the Viscuft with the inter-axis self-locking differential distribution torque between axes 50:50. The machines featured by the variator used the ACT system with the function of the active distribution of torque. The torque in this case is distributed in the ratio of 60:40 with a displacement towards the front axle, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency and stability of the car. Both systems have a satisfactory level of reliability and infrequently docile by their owners breakdowns. Their disadvantages here you can allocate weak friction dispensing boxwhich painfully tolerate heavy loads (frequent slippers, long-road traffic, trailer towing, etc.).

Reliability of the chassis Subaru XV

On both axes Subaru XV applied independent suspension: Macpherson in front, rear has a multi-dimensione with A-shaped levers of high rigidity. In good condition, the work of the suspension does not cause questions - the car has an acceptable level of comfort and controllability. As for the reliability of the chassis, it is not so unequivocal here. So, for example, if you get involved in off-road qualities of the car and not to slow down in the bumpy areas, it is quite realistic to handle hub bearings, ball supports, shock absorbers, the silent blocks of the front levers and the collapsed levers of the rear suspension for 60-80 thousand km of mileage. With gentle operation, the suspension consumables of both axes will serve 100-150 thousand km, with the exception of bushings and stabilizer racks.

Steering control - It applies a wire mechanism with an electric power steering. This node is not particularly reliable and can start knocking without caring and 100,000 km (plastic sleeves are required). It is worth noting that official dealer It does not always recognize the presence of knocks with a warranty case and refuses to remove the breakdown for free. Also, with small runs, there may be failed in the operation of the electric powerful. Steering tips withstand 120-150 thousand km, traction - 150-200 thousand km.

Torkemose - brake system Reliable, the only thing that can be chicting so it is quite fast wear brake shoes, especially with drivers with aggressive driving manner. Disks, as a rule, serve two or three times longer than the pads.

Salon and electrician

Salon - No matter how strange it did not sound, but Subaru XV salon is more reminded by a statelow personnel from China than the car of the eminent brand - cheap finishing materials are applied. From the disadvantages here you can highlight the presence of a large amount outsided soundswhich is filled with a lounge after 20-30 thousand km (creaks the frame of the seats, plastic elements, etc.) and weak noise insulation. This can also be attributed accelerated wear Materials: Paint widespread on decorative elements, the steering wheel is crashing and cracking, losing the front seating shape (filler collapses).

Electrical equipment - Salon equipment for the most part reliably, but certain troubles over the years can manifest itself. For example, the fan stove fan begins to noise 100,000 km. When contacting the service, you will certainly be replaced with you, although it is enough to refresh lubricant in it to eliminate trouble. On the same mileage, the air conditioner compressor may fail (symptoms - cold air stops). It is also possible to malfunction in the work of the climate control system.

Suitable

Buying Subaru XV with mileage to date will be a successful investment, as this is a popular and practical model that is perfect for everyday use and for trips to nature, cottage, fishing, etc. Operating experience has shown that XV is a rather reliable car, thereby looking for preferably many European and Asian competitors. Serious malfunctions If they happen, then, as a rule, not earlier than 150000 km. The main disadvantages of this model are the weak wear resistance of the LCP and the materials of the interior trim, as well as more high price Maintenance and repair compared to competitors.
