Subaru XV

It’s been a few weeks of frustration with the Subaru XV… not a week has gone by in the last three where it hasn’t picked up something in the brakes. #Frustrating as the kids would say.

The Subaru XV 2.0i-S has had a week of schelpping up and down the highway between home and the office, and it loved it. Welcome to Week 12.

The Subaru XV 2.0i-S is back on the road and none the worse for its forced lay-off due to injury. Welcome to Week 11.

Our Subaru XV 2.0i-S long-termer has been laid up for the last week or so while I get around to sorting out a squeaking wheel.

I finally got the Armor All Custom Shield Coating applied to the side of the Subaru XV 2.0i-S long-termer. Well, I got a little bit of it done…

Okay, so the Subaru XV has a reversing camera but no reversing sensors and thus, no audible warning for when you’re about to bump the car behind. Bugger. Welcome to Week 8.

This week I discovered the XV offers a two-speed rear windscreen wiper. Wow. And have been left wondering if the leather interior is tough enough.

After driving the Subaru XV off-road last week I’ve been left wondering whether I should get some vinyl wrap to keep it safe from scratches. Welcome to week 6.

This week we took our 2014 Subaru XV 2.0i-S out into the bush and the cheeky thing cocked its wheel – that must make it a proper off-roader? Welcome to week 5.

This week we took our 2014 Subaru XV 2.0i-S out into the bush and got it properly muddy – and it’s left us wanting to push it even harder off road. Welcome to week 4.
