Welcome along.

Yes I agree. In SI mode you are just getting to the max power quicker as the gearing feels shorter, however this only feels shorter because max power delivery sharper then in I mode.

Welcome Hughieboy. Enjoy the club.

Looks very nice too. I see it has the eyesight tech on it too.

PMSL. The power difference is huge and more fun per gallon.

Welcome along to the club. That car looks fantastic.

Welcome along to the club.

Black badges as looking good.

I can't help you with the problem however welcome to the Club.

I have started just usign the S mode all the time in the car now.

It looks the mutts nutts. Looks good in the slower silver colour too. ;-) You will have loads of fun in it. Enjoy. I put wind deflectors on the doors and mud flaps on too, two good accessories if your thinking about extras. IMO of course.

Yes lovely bike. I have had three ninjas, a J1 (2000) in Green. A, C1, (2005) first under seat exhaust type in green and then a year later a C1 in black as I wrote the green on off at knock hill. After that I got myself a lovely fire blade but sold the bikes on and stopped biking. Take it easy and enjoy the ride.

No sadly it's not a Levorg STI, which IMO sounds great. Here you go. http://www.media.subaru.com/image-gallery.do?method=view&imageGalleryId=190&mid=1

Front offside wheel was in for repair after being kerbed. All sorted now and is looking like new again.

Great car. It holds the road well and will take you anywhere you want to go. Enjoy the site and car.

Great looking and performing XV. All you need is the aftermarket parts and your off and running. ;-)

Even looks fast just sitting there. Enjoy the car. :-)

Bad enough being in the car during that weather, but that poor lady with the pram at the lights is such a shame. I miss my XV but a great car for tackling that type of weather. Good footage too.

Very nice. regardless of the colour I think they all look amazing. Enjoy the car, I know you will have loads of endless fun in it. Richie.

This is all i need as the car is protected with life shine. http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/autoglym/aqua-wax.aspx

Hi Chris and welcome. Nice car, enjoy the club.

I interested is seeing what this new Subaru looks like. Sound like a 7 seater. It might even be the ultimate off roader for adventure.

Hi Russron welcome to the forum. Strange problem you have there with the car. I had a problem previously with a finance company and Subaru UK were willing to help me if I required it. Subaru U.K. would have supplied the car to your local dealer as you know. If I were you I would contact them on Twitter and ask the if they know of any other similar problems with the car. I would also ask them if they have any idea of what it may be. Good luck with it.

I'm not sure what the power upgrade is, do you know what exactly is being done to get the additional 10 bhp. I have asked my dealer ona few occassions for details of upgrades however they appear to want to play them down. I'll assume that they don't mess with the warranty. I have asked about an axle back exhaust and they have said that they will have a look into it. I think they need to check with Subaru U.K. before suppling or fitting anything.

Not as standard but you can upgrade to get the slot for the memory card for the satnav. You won't be disapointed though im sure.
