Some subarus are rubbish, like the 1500cc Imprezza is underpowered. Some Toyotas are exquisite, like the 2500cc Mark X. Tried keeping up with one in a Legacy, sikutoboa. Don't generalize like this, judge by individual merits of a model.


Come to think of it, my pal experienced it with his impreza. It so troubled him till he decided to upgrade the engine to an 1800cc whose power is like a breath of fresh air.

Comparing impreza with mark x is like comparing IST with Outback.try keeping up with the mark x 2500 cc with not even an Outback but the king of the road lower version Forester XT SG5 manual transmission 6 speed and report the results.


What is the top speed of the two cars?
How many drivers here on wazua drive at 170km/h and above?

I never go beyond 110kph. I don't like speed. I am also very easy on the accelerator and never let the engine go beyond 3000rpm.

i never liked this make till"The heyday of Buick on American roads is long gone, but the brand is far from dead. In fact, business is booming — just not in the U.S.

The brand is hugely popular in China — the world's largest auto market — where having a large, foreign car is a status symbol.

@jagger. . Never? Even when driving to Msa/Naks/Namanga etc? How do you overtake especially on Msa rd at speeds below 110km/h?



@ZILLION, If top speed for Forester XT SG5 is 180km/h and that of Mark X 25G is 220km/h, how will Mark X not keep up?

Will it not be a case of the Forester trying to keep up? Once the Forester hits 180km/h, what else?

Or is it that a Mark X doing 200km/h and Forester doing 180km/h, the Forester isstill "faster"?

I saw one Mark X with max speed of over 200km/h, i don't know which model. That's why is asked in an earlier post, the max speed of the two cars.
Anyone in the know [Mark X 2500cc max speed] can shed more light.

All X-Japan cars have a max speed of 180KPH, thats the law over there. Similar cars made for other markets will have higher max speeds.
