Han....my friend owns a Forrester but he says if under company okie...but not individual...anyway just a feedback from him when i was looking for replacement car...

Guys..looked round n found out that 2nd forester cost below 100k for 2005 model and sti 2006 model cost 130-150k.

Is it a good car? (good as LYNX RS but with extra space for baby stroller )

Anyone has reviewed one? Reliability? Spare part cost? (Compare to Mag B7)

Spare part wouldnt be a prob. Used part easily can find and quite cheap. But, not all workshop can handle boxer engine. Join a e-group is a must if u want to use this car

Surely...the boxer engine is something to think of when considering this car..
Yes if not joining any group or forum would be nightmare!
Mag, what he meant if under company is okie?? money wise?

Not really. If you are the owner of the Company then the pressure is on you to have a good turnover and remain profitable so that you can afford such high maintenance. There's no 'free lunch.'   

However, if your income is something like 30k a month as an employee then you can surely afford to buy and maintain a Subaru Forester. Maybe even a brand new Audi A4.

If you are earning RM30k, then you could be GM or Director or Chief of something thus should have company car, so no need buy car liau.

If I remember correctly, the maximum personal tax rate is 26%.

I got a friend who was the CEO of a Public Company. He draws 3/4 million per annum including perks.

So forester is 30k per month-car lo
But saw many halfcut in chop shop..and the part is reasonable as well.
As u friend with CEO, the view is from different angle.
If even a ford owner is CEO he wont join this forum..would they? Just my opinion.
