New 2017 Model Year Subaru BRZ Now On Sale In Malaysia -

Motor Image Malaysia, the authorised distributor of Subaru vehicles here has officially launched the 2017 Model Year Subaru BRZ. The most interesting fact about this new and slightly revised BRZ is the price and the fact that you can now get it with a 6 speed manual transmission. The OTR price inclusive of GST but without insurance is RM224,389 (manual transmission) and RM230,749 (automatic transmission). The price is interesting because it has been revised and is slightly lower than what I remember it to be. So a great big WooHoo!!!! is in order.

TEST DRIVE: THE Facelifted 2016 SUBARU XV 2.0i-Premium - Very nice, but I dream about turbocharged Scoobies a lot...

The Subaru XV is something that has been a relative sales success for Subaru in Malaysia. This was the first Subaru that has been locally assembled in Malaysia in recent years. Well, I cannot remember any Subaru being locally assembled over the past twenty five years or so actually. What has happened is that for the first time ever this quirky Japanese car maker has actually sold more than a handful of units per year in this country. It shows, as here in the Klang Valley you see the XV everywhere. At least one a day at the minimum. This is partly due to the new found affordability (due to CKD status), word of mouth and more mainstream looks (for a Subaru). This is a good thing as Subaru make cars slightly different from the normal Japanese stuff.
