So I decided to pop in to my local Subaru dealership. I wanted to satisfy my curiousity on the XV. Very nice interior but on the whole, it has a compact boot and the look of the car doesn’t quite float my boat.
Did have a good chat with the sales guy though to pick his brain on the new Forester eboxer hybrid coming shortly.
Bad news is the price of the XE Premium lineartronic (cvt) is a shade over £36k, so i’m guessing that even if Subaru wanted to rejoin the scheme, the premium spec would likely be a problem. I remember last time they were on only the XE spec was available not the Premium.
Shame that. We’ll just have to see if anything changes in time eh?
