majik_thighs Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 As an un-marked rozzer . "In the Club" BBC 1 Tues 9 pm. Should be on i-player in a few days. Program is very good and I spotted the XV straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I've suddenly started to see some on the roads round me. Consett is already the Scooby capital of the north east, but xv's are infiltrating now too at last [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 But we don`t want too much coverage do we........ we drive Subaru`s best kept secret. ;) They do get quite a bit of attention in car parks though. I usually get "Is it an Audi?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hehe even saw a tribeca last week [emoji54] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Were you down my way ? Theres at least two tribcea's I see around. One metalic light blue and another sort of an off gold, plus saw an xv in a horrible greeny colour in town last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It was literally as I was pulling out of our estate - was one of the light blue one's too; gave each other a smile and a nod :P I'd never seen it around here before, but I've since seen it parked outside our local shop too :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Should have a word get them on here, I reckon dog's getting a bit lonely if it weren't for trips to shout at the dealer ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 tribeca is a styling disaster :-S kind of glad not to see too many :-) XV is great styling & practical vehicle all in one, shame don't see a few more but then if was as common as a focus the magic becomes lost :-) Will be buying one of these in the future for sure.

Mr B Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 face to butt is ugly, not keen on interior myself but suppose tastes vary. Had a good look at an XV today, in white & looked better than expected for white, interior works for me as does potential practicality. See how the new breed does on a few years usage with reliability/dealer fettling & I will buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_gr7 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm trying to get the missus to get an XV or a Forrester. She's got her eyes on a Nissan Qashqai at the moment, I've honestly no idea why tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is she's set on a qaushquish, Will be hard convincing her to get a Subaru. I could try arranging a test drive in an XV though.. haha That might do the trick. Wonder if the guys in Durham have got any xv's or fozzies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're apparently the biggest car on the Motability list so its the one everyone on disability wants. Nissan sell 40000 Qashqai a year, this means everyone has one and they're not exclusive. Subaru currently only sell about 3500 XV a year. Now the killer blow, a 2.0l 4x4 Qashqai will be about £27k (because nearly all Quashqai aren't 4x4) the same XV £23k (even the bottom of the range has full 4x4) the Nissan has 1 2yr 50k warranty that you can pay 2 grand to extend to 60k 3yrs. Subaru is a standard 100k 5yr warranty. as standard the basic XV has heated seats, cruise control, Bluetooth. you want all that in a nissan, you'd better get your credit card out. and now the looks The Nissan Quashqai jelly mould, boring and bulbous. And the Subaru XV Nuff Said! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The choices we make in life define not only ourselves but how we are perceived by others. It also defines whether we lead the crowd or blindly follow it.

Dug Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 wow Dogconker - intense thought lol so glad I made the decision to get the XV still loving it just to add my m8 has the new Nissan and he said he can't wait to get rid, so common and what's more nothing works properly he said all gadgets and starting to fail on a car that's 6 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not good, me and the wife looked at one and decided yet were just too common, we basically made a baa noise whenever we saw one, when you do that you suddenly realise how many there are. I love the XV. Don't put nitro diesel in it if it's a diesel, it doesn't like it. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
